Lots of other teams have Latin mottos.

Arsenal: 'Victoria Concordia Crescit' - (Victory through Harmony.)

Tottenham: 'Audere est facere' - (To Dare is to Do.)

Gillingham: 'Domus clamantium' - (Home of the Shouting Men.)

I feel like we're missing out somewhat. What should our Latin motto be?

My suggestion would be 'Vincere oriri tropaeis'. (Rise to win the trophy.)

Surgere is better and the infinitive takes an accusative

Surgete tropeaum vincere

Incubere doesn't mean swoop, it means to brood over (hatch), hence incubate and that's not the Ist person plural ending anyway.

Involaramus vincere is better

People shouldn't use Google translate to do Latin, it can't handle the language at all well. It recognises words but can't handle the grammar so the declensions are all wrong
