Yep, it does.
Like the others I think 3 works the best, maybe only using white and red gives it more impact?
My biggest problem with the design is that it feels quite generic. While you intention is to use established iconography to convey yr message - I think you should concentrate on adding a unique slant to the design.
I like the Panenka backstory a lot - and if I were you, I'd concentrate on providing more specific visual reference to him (or football) in the design somehow.
Also, the one area which is used to communicate specifics (the main body of the crest) isn't as large as it could be. I can imagine, in a small version of the logo, it might be difficult to make out the olive garland. It seems that the striped area of the crest is simply there for decorative purposes, so this could maybe be reduced to accommodate a larger area for the main crest area?
I think gradients, unless used very subtly - can come off as cliche/tacky. Sometimes it's probably best to avoid them completely.
The location of the ribbon feels quite (/too) central - I think that it could be positioned a bit more sympathetically ... doesn't feel like it's visually in the right position at the moment.
Maybe the ends of the ribbon aren't really necessary, and might detract from the other elements. Reduce everything to the minimum required - keep it as simple as possible, but make it memorable.
