About Stoke City
Stoke City are one of English football's oldest clubs, a Staffordshire institution from the Potteries who have spent much of the modern era in the Premier League with a direct brand of football that divided opinion but produced undeniable results. The red and white striped shirt is one of the Championship's most classic designs, and the club's long Premier League run from 2008 to 2018 under Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes produced some memorable seasons.
Founded in 1863 (making them one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world) and based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, the club play at the Bet365 Stadium. Their honours include 1 League Cup (1972) and an FA Cup final appearance in 2011. Nicknamed the Potters, they currently compete in the Championship.
The red and white vertical stripes are Stoke City's most iconic look, a bold design that has been the club's home kit throughout most of their history. The striped shirt worn during the Premier League years from 2008 to 2018 has become the definitive visual representation of Stoke's top-flight era. Macron was among the suppliers during the Premier League years, producing well-regarded iterations of the classic stripes. The simple but striking red and white combination gives Stoke a visual identity that collectors of English football appreciate, and the kit from the 2011 FA Cup final run is particularly cherished.
