West Ham United

West Ham United are one of English football's most beloved and culturally significant clubs, the East End institution that produced Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters for the 1966 World Cup and has been sending technically gifted players into the English game ever since. The Academy of Football has given the world Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, and Joe Cole. The claret and blue of the Boleyn Ground is one of English football's most distinctive and evocative colour combinations, rich with history and working-class East End pride. Founded in 1895, West Ham United play at the London Stadium and compete in the Premier League. Key honours include three FA Cups and the 1965 European Cup Winners Cup. Known as the Hammers and the Irons, the club carries a deep connection to English football history through its players, its ground, and its fanbase. Claret and blue is West Ham and the pairing has produced some of English football's most celebrated kits. The 1964-65 Cup Winners Cup shirts are among the most historic in the game, worn as Bobby Moore lifted silverware on the continent. Umbro dressed the Hammers through much of their most celebrated period. The 1966 World Cup trio of Moore, Hurst, and Peters brought global attention to the claret and blue. More recently, Umbro's return to West Ham has produced beautifully crafted retro-inflected designs, and the sky blue away kits with claret trim have always had real appeal for shirt collectors.
