West Ham United FC - Claret and Blue Possibly Because of Company
West Ham United started using claret and blue as their official colors in the early 20th century. The exact reason for choosing these colors is unclear, but there are a few theories. One theory suggests that West Ham adopted the colors due to the influence of Thames Ironworks, the company where many of the club's early players worked. Thames Ironworks also had claret and blue as their colors. Another theory suggests that the colors were chosen simply because they were fashionable at the time.
Aston Villa - Colors From Cricket Club Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel
Aston Villa are one of the oldest football clubs in England and has been wearing claret and blue since 1886. The team's founder, William McGregor, was a director of a cricket club called Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel, which also used claret and blue as their colors. When the football club were formed, they adopted the same colors as a continuation of their heritage.
Burnley FC - Claret & Blue Colors as a Tribute to Aston Villa
Burnley's team colors of claret and blue date back to the late 19th century. The club adopted these colors as a tribute to their first professional player, Arthur Bellamy, who hailed from the Aston Villa region and had previously played for the Birmingham-based club. Bellamy provided Burnley with the claret and blue kit as a gesture of goodwill.
Scunthorpe United - Reason for Claret & Blue Unknown
The reason behind Scunthorpe United's choice of claret and blue as their team colors is not well-documented. However, it's believed that the colors were adopted in the early years of the club's formation, which can be traced back to 1899. Scunthorpe are playing in the sixth division in the 23-24 season.
