    Hello

    Can anyone help me out with an explanation of why Espanyol are nicknamed the Periquitos?

    I found one story which simply states that their early shirts were yellow and that's that. I found another one in Catalan which, from what I can make out, is a very odd story that somehow involves the film Felix the Cat.

    Anyone have any thoughts?
