In 2005 Red Bull took control of SV Austria Salzburg and renamed the club Red Bull Salzburg. Red Bull also changed the club's colours from its traditional violet (Violette) to red and white. Then Red Bull infamously said that this was a new club with no history and no records.
In response the supporters set up their own club using the original name SV Austria Salzburg, original crest and original colours.
"People have their choices, we offer heart and passion. Red Bull offers an event, how can that compete in football? Look around and all you see are people who love football. We all love football and that is why we could never give up. We care only about this club, not Red Bull. This is football right here. We'll tell our kids and grandkids that there was once a team formed in 1933 for the people of Salzburg. That team is still here for the people of Salzburg, playing in violet and white. We don't have plastic fans. We are the true Salzburg club."
