Ilves
Ilves (Finnish for "Lynx", Finnish pronunciation: [ˈilʋes]) is a Finnish sports club. Its ice hockey team plays in the Liiga at the Hakametsä.
The colors of Ilves, green, yellow and black, were taken from what was then the coat of arms of the city of Tampere.
History
With 16 championships, Ilves is the most successful hockey team in the Finnish championship league, the Liiga. The club was founded in the spring of 1931, and it played its first game against Tampereen Palloilijat the next winter. In the late 1930s, Ilves won three Finnish championship titles.
After World War II, Ilves started playing its home games at the then new Koulukatu ice rink. It had another championship spree in 1945–47 when it stayed undefeated for over four years (albeit playing only 36 games during that period).
In 1954 Ilves was for the first and so far only time relegated to the second highest level of Finnish hockey but managed to return to the top tier only one year later.
The current logo was designed by Rauno Broms in 1963. In 1965 Ilves moved, along with its local rivals Tappara and KooVee, to the new Hakametsä arena, where they still play.
FC Ilves
FC Ilves is a Finnish football club, based in Tampere. The first team of the club currently plays in the Veikkausliiga, the highest level of football in Finland.
In 1974 Ilves-Kissat Tampere and TaPa Tampere merged with Ilves, and the club took Ilves-Kissat's place in the Mestaruussarja. Ilves won the Finnish league championship in 1983 and the Finnish Cup in 1979 and 1990.
In the late-1990s, Ilves suffered financial trouble and its professional team was reformed into Tampere United before the 1999 season. The initial plan was to join Ilves with TPV, but TPV decided to continue as its own team. As a result, Tampere United inherited Ilves' place in the second highest division, and Ilves continued to play in lower divisions, although they did not have a men's team from 1999 to 2000.
Ilves has since recovered and was promoted to Ykkönen for the 2013 season. Two years later, they got promoted to the highest league after MyPa lost their place.

by: YlvisMy life is so successfull
I've got everything a man could ever need.
Got a 1000 dollar haircut
And I even have a talkshow on TV.
And I know I should be happy, but instead
There's a question I can't get out of my head.
What's the meaning of Stonehenge?
It's killing me that no one knows
Why it was built 5000 years ago.
Why did they build the Stonehenge?
How could they rasie the stones so high
Completely without the technology
We have today?
When I make my jalapeños
Calamri and prosciutto
I'm the king!
My wife applaud(s) me in the kitchen
When I tell her all I bought is from the local store
(And) When the kids have gone to bed, we're all alone
She gives me a smile
Then she plays with my balls
(But?) All I think of is Stonehenge
I think about it when I dream
The biggest henge that I have ever seen
What's the purpose of Stonehenge?
A giant granite brithdaycake
Or a prison far too easy to escape?
Stonehenge! Stonehenge! Lots of stones in a row! (chor)
They were 25 tons each stone, my friend
But amazingly they got them all down in the sand
And they moved it (Stonehenge! )
And they dragged it (Stonehenge! )
And they rolled it 46 miles from Waleeees! - Heeey (46 miles from Wales! )
What's the deal with Stonehenge? (chor) (Oh, what's the deal, what's the deal, what's the deal)
You should have left a tiny hint
When you made this fucking labyrinth, of stone! (Who the... )
Who the fuck builds a Stonehenge? (fuck builds a Stonehenge?)
Two Stone Age-guys wondering what to do
Who just said: "Dude, let's build a henge or two!"
I would give anything to know
About the Stonehenge (chor)
Yeah, I would give all I have to give
Would you give them your car? (chor)
(Mmm) Are you kidding me, of course I would have given the car
What car do you drive? (chor)
Drive a Civic, drive a Civic. Drive a Civic!
A car you can trust! (chor)
Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge
What henge is that again? (chor)
It's the Stonehenge, it's the Stonehenge!
God, it is the greatest henge of all!
