Double-headed Eagles Derby
The Double-headed eagles derby is a football derby between AEK Athens and PAOK Thessaloniki. Both teams have the same roots, being refugees from Constantinople (AEK in Athens and PAOK in Thessaloniki), after the Greco-Turkish War, the Asia Minor Catastrophe and the population exchange. Both teams use the same emblem (Double-headed eagle), to reminisce the Byzantine Empire, but in different colors (black and yellow for AEK, black and white for PAOK).
