1891 or 1899?

Didn't really know where to put this, but hope it works here.

As I see it there are several reasons why it should say 1891.

• DIF Football always talks about being founded in 1891, all football souvenirs mention 1891.
• They played football in the football-section before 1899.
• If you really want it right, it should say 2005, because that's the year the company that includes the squad, was founded. :)

Tooga, tell me what you think. Thanks... MaxTid 16:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... I think that should write what the official source says, in other words, what the football departments website dif.se says. When they're talking about 1891, it's mostly about the club, not the department. If football was played before the department was founded, we could write a note in the beginning of text about it, if source is provided that is. According to the official source, dif.se, the football department was founded in 1899, and that's the most reliable source we have. "...Djurgården fick hjälp att starta upp sin fotbollsverksamhet 1899."[1] I will add futher comments later, since I don't have the time right now. Cheers! - Tooga - BØRK! 19:55, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

And about the company, well... it isn't the company this article is about, it's the department that has been around for more than 100 years now, right? Djurgår'n! - Tooga - BØRK! 21:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Noted players

I suggest that Anders Limpar is moved from the Noted List, since he never played a single match for the club! I suggest also that "Knivsta" should be put on the list instead. Litany

Since Anders Limpar quit before the season started in 2001, he never played one single match for Djurgården. He is not a "famous" player for the club. I also raise a question mark for McDonald. He was not notable for the club. Instead maybe Ibrahim Ba should be added yto the list? Litany 17:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Anders Limpar isn't even on the list any more, and I've removed McDonald. Ba should certainly not be added, he didn't do very much for the club. – Elisson • Talk 18:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes since I removed Anders Limpar is he no longer there.

Maybe Vito Knezevic and some more should be added to the list. Some true heros that played for the club. Litany 15:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I've added Ibrahim Ba and Jepser Blomqvist to the Noted players-list as I think they are big enough to be there. They have both played and scored so there is no reason to remove them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukas dif (talk • contribs) 15:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The section isn't for any player that is notable, but for players that are notable because of something they did at the club. Neither Blomqvist nor Ba did something out of the normal at DIF and should thus not be part of the list. – Elisson • T • C • 15:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Team colours

The home colours are wrong here. Djurgarden' jersey has dark blue and light blue stripes, not black and light blue. Also, IIRC, the away colours are dark blue stripes on red. However, I don't know how to change the image. Can someone help? John Anderson 07:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

You're wrong. The colours you describe are last season's (2005), this season's (2006) colours can be seen here. – Elisson • Talk 12:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The colours I describe are the traditional colours, used not only in 2005 but for decades. I have heard that these old colours and design even were the reason for the nickname Ja"rnkaminerna (the Iron stoves), since the dark blue and red looked like a glowing iron stove. Too bad they have changed them. (I didn't know that they had, since I am not in Sweden that often nowadays and therefore are not able to keep track on Allsvenskan.)

Confusing Wording?

I have no idea what this is saying: 'Outside Sweden, the club is often referred to incorrectly as "Djurgårdens", which means "Djurgården's".'
I don't understand this at all I'm afraid and it needs to be changed, possibly the whole abbreviation section should be removed.Half Price (talk) 17:47, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

About the lead

Varför ska det stå en hyllningstext om djurgårdens enda "storhetstid" direkt i början av artikeln? Detta framgår ju av avsnittet "history" och bör placeras där. Som det var innan var det en skrytinledning som är subjektiv och helt irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.165.147 (talk) 18:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. First of all, please write in English, since this is English Wikipedia. I don't understand your complaints, since the lead is factually correct and gives the reader an understanding of the clubs latest seasons. An update might be needed, but then update the text instead of removing it. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 18:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

At your page, it sais that your mother tounge is swedish. I do think you understand. The snippet of text is not describing the clubs latest seasons. It's pure bragging of a short period of time that dif won some titles. This section should be placed under "history".
