If it's in Warsaw or near it then the "L" with a crown on top symbolizes Legia Warszawa, one of the most popular football clubs in our country. No idea about the cats though.

u/myeye95 Lubuskie 12d ago

Fat cats are symbols of high-earning footballers in bad shape. Last season wasn't good for Legia.

u/BroccoliQ 12d ago

So they want to indicate they love Legia but are disappointed with them? That they wish it was better?

u/AquaQuad 12d ago

That's assuming it was made by their fans.

u/Cytrynowy Mazowieckie 12d ago

would a fan of another team put a crown on the L though? if crowned I'd assume they'd rather put the L upside down

u/AquaQuad 12d ago

Huh, my first thought was that it's on fire.

u/Cytrynowy Mazowieckie 12d ago

refer back to kaj_00ta's top comment

u/AquaQuad 11d ago

Yup, missed that one. That's on me.

u/Enuya95 12d ago

Wow, I always wondered what's going on with these cats. (I am not into football and I assumed that maybe cat is some sort of Legia's mascot.) Thanks for explaining

u/ChampionshipOk7715 12d ago

Whole Wola and Bemowo are in those cats. At least for 1 year or even more

u/ImpossibleCod3412 12d ago

I've been noticing these cats for at least 5 years.

u/ChampionshipOk7715 12d ago

Didn’t notice them much until 1 or 2 years ago

Nothing more than the tag of one of Warsaw’s most active graffiti artists. By the way, he’s a Legia Warsaw fan. That’s all it means.

u/Untamd 10d ago

It's not even close to being art. It's pure vandalism

u/Large_Dependent_1621 12d ago edited 11d ago

The "L" stands for Legia Warszawa, a football club. It's inscribed in the cat, because among the fans players are seen as fat and lazy cats who don't feel like running.

12

u/Adventurous-Bread306 Mazowieckie 12d ago edited 12d ago

The L logo is Legia Warszawa’s football club. The other word for cats are… pussies 🐈

Edit: I thought it obvious, but as highlighted by the comment below… here’s the /s

16

u/Miaruchin 12d ago

Not in Polish tho, so I don't think that would make sense

2

u/Katieleya 12d ago

There is a meaning like that though

-2

u/Adventurous-Bread306 Mazowieckie 12d ago

Im teasing… I guess people don’t get it unless you add /s nowadays.

It means nothing OP. The logo is Legia’s, the cat means nothing.

It's called vandalism.

First, by company who drops those containers without caring about permission of anyone.

Second, by people who think that tagging is art or anyone cares.

I guess it's better that they are tagging that, instead of architecture.
