Guilherme de Aquino Fonseca, founder of Sport Club do Recife, was a member of a wealthy family in Pernambuco. His father, João d'Aquino Fonseca and his mother Maria Eugênia Regadas Aquino Fonseca concerned about the conduct and character of the children ordered Guilherme to England to carry out his studies. He studied at Cambridge University where he graduated as an engineer. When he returned from Europe, in 1903, he brought, in addition to their training, a passion for football, which at that time was considered a sport of the elite.
From the first contact with the ball, the young Recifense began to dream big. Upon his return, he promised himself, he would found a football club, which later became the Sport Recife, and with the Latin ability, could play better than the English. Soon, there could also be several other clubs, and football would gain popularity quickly, thought Guilherme, who, with his own money, bought balls, whistles and all kinds of equipment needed for the sport.

There gathered the groups that discussed the organization of a club, becoming the favorite spot of portmen, as well says Mário Sette, our first secretary, in his book Maxambombas and Maracatus. It was the hotbed of ideas sports. It was, after all, the Sport Club do Recife, our great bulwark, organized, and we can say, based on that commercial establishment that producing this event, ended up being closed, so that, as was young (20 years), with a creation gentlewoman, to know the value of money, let you have the necessary financial precautions, diverting my attention and my attention from the business to give myself body and soul year our club. It would be illogical and the foundation of a decent college sports in the back of a store, so we got a gentle and generous acquiescence of the president of the Association of Employees of Recife, in order that their halls and facilities were opened to honor the first annual installation and foundation of the Sport Club do Recife (without the "do")."

Soon, the badge number 1 represented the Sport all sports practiced by the club at the time, from cricket to spearfishing. The coat was too complex, difficult to reproduce and not bore the colors. Then, in 1919 then President Arnaldo Loyo faced a challenge to many at the time was considered madness: get Sport to Belém do Pará to play a series of five friendlies. The club has achieved significant results since the time the Pará football was more developed than the Pernambuco.

And the game of the day was April 3, 1919 which was in dispute a gorgeous French bronze called of the Lion of the North where the sculptures included a Greek archer accompanied by an imposing lion. To the surprise of Pará, the Sport wins Local combined 2–1 and get the trophy. Disappointment for opposing fans was such that a fan invaded the most daring ship where leaders Crimson-Black kept the piece, and damaged its tail with an iron pipe. This inspired the development of a new coat for the sport. So the lion was adopted as the new symbol of the club because it represented all his boldness, courage and spirit of the winner scored since its founding. The art was responsible for the designer Armando Vieira dos Santos which was based on Scottish heraldry arms to prepare the shield.
