Minor correction - West Ham weren't originally known as Thomas Ironworks. They were known as Thames Ironworks Football Club, named after the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company that they worked for (based on the River Thames, in the hamlet of West Ham before it got incorporated into London). Interesting sidenote, Thames Ironworks was the company that built HMS Warrior, the first fully ironclad warship.

[@grahambrown3519]

Also “The Irons” is probably the “popular” nickname amongst the fans (certainly the regular attendees where you hear the chant “common you Irons” not “common you hammers”) whilst “the Hammers” is the more commonly used generally.

[@daniellambertneu9448]

@@grahambrown3519 it’s strange actually. I’m a fan myself, and the best way to describe it is that the team and the club are “the Irons” but that the fans are “the Hammers”. Of course you can chop and change things about, but I’d say that “I’m a Hammer, I support the Irons.” It feels weird to call the fans, “the Irons”. And you’re right: Irons are much preferred over Hammers (or ‘“Ammers”, if you want!”

[@grahambrown3519]

Been going since the 60’s and a season ticket since the 80’s. As a kid growing up in Kent I always knew them as “the Hammers”. It was only when I started going regularly that I heard “the Irons”. That is the prevalent one in the ground by the fans, talk to any “outsider” though and it is “the Hammers” refer to “Irons” and I suspect many might think you a Scunthorpe fan😊.

Interestingly, you dont hear United fans referring to United as 'Man U' its usually fans of other clubs. Matt Busby hated the term 'The Busby Babes' apparently too, The Red Devils became more of an official nickname AFAIK in the 50's because he (Sir Matt) thought it more reflected the character of his team.

[@darthcalanil5333]

The reason Football teams have, and indeed are required to have alternative jerseys with different colours is to avoid the confusion when 2 teams just so happen to have similar looking colours. makes it easier for the audience, cameras, commentators, the players themselves, to follow the action.

[@hughtube5154]

Or, in the case of Man U, rampant capitalism.

[@BadgerOff32]

More specifically, it was also to help distinguish teams when they appeared on TV back in the early days of the 1950's and 60's, as most people back then only only black and white TVs. A televised match between say, Man United (in red) vs Chelsea (in blue) would be almost impossible to know which team was which, because red and blue both just look 'dark' on a black and white TV, so one team would need to play in a 'light' colour (like white) to make it obvious who was who. Colour TV didn't become widespread till the late 60's, early 70's, but by then the tradition of having two kits had become normalized. Side-note - I think I'm correct in saying that the 1966 World Cup final between England and Germany was the first match in England to be broadcast in colour

Chris...A note about my adopted FA team, Wolverhampton. It is NOT orange on their kit, it is called"old gold". Also, Wolverhampton is know as the "Wanderers" after merging with a cricket club, Blakenhall Wanderers, in 1879. One other notable thing about the Wolves, in 1967, the whole team was imported to play as the Los Angeles Wolves, in the original North American Soccer League, as a preparation to compete in the Premier League, to which they had been recently promoted. As far as why I, a Chicago native, would choose Wolves as my team? Well, an incredibly rich and very old team from the Midlands, that too often failed to have success, reminded me of a hometown Chicago team that I cheer for, The Cubs!

[@sam1111979]

Does any British football club play in orange? Wolves you say is old gold, Blackpool is tangerine, my team is Maidstone United and it's black and amber for us. Looked up Dundee...says "tangerine" as well. Any others? Maybe in Northern Ireland...

Fun music-related connection: Steve Harris, founder and bassist of legendary metal band Iron Maiden was a promising football player in his youth and was offered a slot at the West Ham youth academy , but eventually chose music over football. He has supported West Ham very publicly all his life and "Up the Irons" is a common slogan among Iron Maiden fans. I wonder how many of them realize they are actually giving tacit support to West Ham when they say it though.

As a big football fan from the Netherlands I can say that football is more like a culture then just a sport. I go to a lot of away games from my big local club PSV Eindhoven. Going to Sevilla next week with 3,000 of my fellow supporters.

[@TheLocalLt]

Very cool to look at a more lighthearted topic through a historical lens, thanks for doing this! Since you’re an Ohio guy, one of the more interesting crossover between sports and history is the “American football game that ended a war”, which took place during the 1995 Dayton Accords. There’s a video about it over on the Wayback history channel, definitely a story worthy of more attention. Another sports/history crossover story that probably should have a full documentary is the history of the Yankees, when I was a kid I read “The Complete History of the New York Yankees, 1901-2001”, which is as much about the politics and history of New York City (Tammany Hall, etc.) and America at large as it is about anything on-field. If you ever get the chance to read it, it’s a pretty incredible hundred-year odyssey. Thanks again for the video, cheers!

Newcastle used to be a big team, they were one of the best in the late 90s early 2000s, Alan Shearer, the premier leagues highest ever scorer was a local boy and Newcastle legend, unfortunately they suffered under Mike Ashley until they were bought by the consortium and they are simply returning to the levels they used to be, I think they set the international record transfer fee when they signed Shearer. I'd recommend you look into them and their history, they've had some great players, many of which are some of the best of all time including Shearer, Ginola, Gascoigne and Keegan.

As a Leicester season ticket holder, I remember hearing one of the reasons for the nickname was that Foxs glacier mints were produced in Leicester and being a popular sweet, it gave the club it's nickname. Also the Foxes winning the Prem as 5000/1 outsiders was amazing, the entire decade supporting this club as been a roller coaster but that season was something never to be forgotten, right down to the final game against Everton where a veritable horde of Italians turned up around the club, the weather was sunny with torrential storms, a rainbow and a little bit of Opera added to the occasion by Andrea Bocelli.........as a side note, Leicester were originally called Leicester Fosse and I think the old nickname was the Fossils.

This is one of the reasons for the animosity between the football clubs of the two cities as the manchester shipping canal took lots of jobs away from liverpool and making their dockyards more redundant. This led to Liverpool being plunged towards poverty while manchester started to overtake Liverpool in terms of relevance. It is one of the key roots of the rivalry.

Southampton went through several name changes before settling on Southampton FC. As mentioned in the video they started as St Mary's Young Men's Association (Abbreviated to St Mary's YMA). They then changed to St Mary's FC in 1887, then to Southampton St Mary's FC in 1894 and finally Southampton FC in 1896. In 1898 they moved to a stadium called The Dell and remained there until 2001. After that they moved back into the St Mary's area of Southampton to a new stadium called St Mary's Stadium which was a good nod to the origin of the club. Sadly I don't see my team remaining in the Premier League based on current form. But Southampton have a history of pulling off great escapes from the bottom of the league so I can hope.

A lot of Stadia were built early 20th century and presumably the ends were named after the famous Boer war battle in places which had regiments in that battle.

For stadiums that are close to each other, check Independiente and Racing Club from argentina. The #3 and #4 biggest clubs in the country, they're one block away from each other and back in the day players would walk from one stadium to the other hwen they faced each other

The same channel also has a similar video about the Eredivisie, the Dutch league. Most nicknames are in Dutch, so you´ll learn some Dutch as well.

Leicester City winning in 2016 was the win that gives every fan of every club that isn't in the big 6 hope that their club could win the league.

Mitro's on fire!🔥 My favorite PL football club is Liverpool FC, but as a Serbian, I support my fellow countrymen in football aka Mitrović and Lukić in Fulham, Tadić at Ajax,...

Regarding Chelsea and Fulham not playing at home on the same day (due to police resources, and potential clashes) this also applies to Liverpool & Everton, Man City and Man, and many more.
