Birmingham City

Birmingham City are one of English football's great traditional clubs, a side that has spent decades competing near the top of the English game with a fanbase that has stayed loyal through some turbulent ownership chapters. Blues have Wembley glory to their name in the form of the 2011 League Cup, secured against Arsenal in one of the competition's more memorable upsets. The royal blue shirts of St Andrew's are one of English football's most familiar sights and carry a history that stretches back to the Victorian era. Founded in 1875, Birmingham City play at St Andrew's and compete in the Championship. Key honours include the 2011 League Cup and two Second Division titles. Known as Blues or the Blue Noses, the club is one of the Midlands' most storied sides with a large and devoted fanbase that has supported them through every division of English football. Royal blue is Birmingham and it has been worn with pride through all the club's eras. The 2011 League Cup winning shirt, worn as Obafemi Martins secured a famous Wembley triumph over Arsenal, is the standout piece of the modern wardrobe. Umbro dressed the club through many of their Premier League years with clean royal blue designs. Recent new ownership has brought renewed ambition and sharply produced kits that aim to restore the royal blue to the top table of English football.
