The team's colors and identity are a source of great municipal pride, with ownership and management deeply connected to the community. Pato's history in the NBB is one of admirable consistency and development. The name, meaning "Duck," is unique in Brazilian sports and is worn with pride, symbolizing the team's connection to its city's identity.
