Tottenham Hotspur Shirts Views
In 1882 a group of North London teenagers formed Hotspur FC, named after the combative Henry Percy, p"Harry Hotspurp" of Shakespeare's Henry IV (Part I) whose descendents owned land in the neighbourhood. The name changed to Tottenham Hotspur in 1884 to avoid confusion with the older Hotspur FC (whereabouts unknown but they played in Wimbledon from 1887). For a while the lads turned out on Tottenham Marshes and scuffles occasionally broke out with rival teams over the best pitches. In 1884 the club cancelled a fixture to watch the professionals of Blackburn Rovers win the first of three consecutive English Cup finals. So impressed were they that the club adopted Rovers' blue and white halved shirts. In 1885 Spurs entered the London Association Cup and played their first competitive match against St Albans FC, winning 2-0.
In 2006, as part of an exercise to modernise the club's image, a smart new crest was introduced. To all intents and purpose, this was very similar to the popular badge worn between 1967 and 1982 but with cleaner, more streamlined lines. Although the official crest has the words h"Tottenham Hotspurt" below the ball, this wording is not present on the players' shirts.
