In Spanish, the spades are the “espadas” = “swords”, and it always bothered me that it looked nothing like a sword. The club is called “trébol” = “clover”, so every time I see a t-shirt that says “I (club) (whatever thing bothers that person)” I always read it first as “I clover ________”.
Old style Spanish or Mexican playing cards consisted of swords espadas), clubs (actual cavemen style wooden clubs also called clubs in Spanish), cups (copas), and coins (don’t know Spanish term.) I guess over time these terms became intermingled with the English versions.
I’ve never seen a shovel with three teardrop shaped blades either Clover is a much better description of a “club”. Thinking about it further, the heart doesn’t look looked like any organic heart. Leaving diamonds…

Clocks are supposed to be clean. They’re easier to read than when they’re dirty.
