However, the shortened form "Gala" is sometimes used by English speakers. ==Crest and colours== [[File:Old logo of Galatasaray SK.svg|thumb|upright=0.6|First crest]] Galatasaray's first emblem was drawn by 333 [School Number] Şevki Ege. This was the figure of a spread-winged eagle with a football in its beak. The eagle was a model emblem that Galatasaray dwelled on in the beginning. But when the name did not attract too much interest, Şevki Ege's composition was pushed aside. It was replaced by the current design in the 1920s. This replaced in 1925 by the current "Ghayn-Sin" crest, which are the first two Arabic letters of "G"alata "S"aray, designed by Ayetullah Emin.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.galatasaray.org/tarih/pages/tarihlogo.php |title=Galatasaray Spor Kulübü Resmi Internet Sitesi |publisher=Galatasaray.Org |access-date=10 April 2013}}</ref> At first, the colours of Galatasaray were red and white.

The traditional shirt of Galatasaray is the eight-piece halved design. This consists of the shirt’s front, back and sleeves being made up of two colours, resulting in the shirt being split into eight parts. (Two same colours are never next to each other within the 8 parts.) The colours continue in an alternating order, from yellow to red. This results in the front of the shirt being the opposite of the back and the shirt also having an halved design from the side. This alternating colour order of eight parts creates a complete halved design for the shirt.<ref name="Galatasaray kits">{{cite web |url=http://www.galatasarayformalari.com/formacizimleri/index.html |title=Galatasaray kits |publisher=Galatasarayformalari.com |access-date=10 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140622172612/http://www.galatasarayformalari.com/formacizimleri/index.html |archive-date=22 June 2014 |df=dmy }}</ref> The classic eight-piece halved design would become the look of Galatasaray for around 80 years, until 1985 when sportswear manufacturer [[Adidas]] began to provide the shirts and the sleeves were made up by one colour and not halved.
