The ševci (shoemakers) named for the famous Bata family who built their company in Zlin in the early to mid 20th century, were automatically relegated from the 1st division in 2023 following an poor season which coincided with an automatic relegation rather than a playoff for the first time in the league.
A memorable win came for Zlin, playing away in a derby match against Brno in 2012 where after regular time ended in a three all draw, and overtime could still not separate the team, Ševci came away with a glorious win in the shootout.
Their rival, Vsetín, has frequently been defeated by them, with another match scheduled for 2026.
