Colours, crest and traditions

The club's home colours of royal blue shirt with white shorts were first used in the 1910s [2] and have been used every season since the mid 1940s, bar one [3]. In the 1972-73 season, the home shirt was changed to white, apparently inspired by Leeds United's success. Leeds United Association Football Club, commonly referred to as simply Leeds United or informally Leeds, are an English professional football This change was unpopular, and dropped at the end of the season. The first commercial logo to appear on a Leicester kit was that of Admiral Sportsware, the kit designers, in 1976. The following are the Football (soccer events of the year 1976 throughout the world The first sponsorship logo to appear on a Leicester shirt was that of Ind Coope in 1983.

Year 1948 ( MCMXLVIII) was a Leap year starting on Thursday (link will display the 1948 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. [22] This is the origin of the nickname "the Foxes". The club mascot is a character called "Filbert Fox". There are also secondary characters "Vickie Vixen" and "Cousin Dennis", though only Filbert is currently seen at games. The current shirt badge has been unchanged since 1992. In another reference Leicestershire's tradition of hunting, the club adopted the Post Horn Gallop in 1941, although the origin is a 19th century coachman's tune to signal mail was arriving. The Post Horn Gallop is the tune that Leicester City Football Club run out at the Walkers Stadium on matchday [23] It was played over the PA system as the teams came out of the tunnel at all home games. However, perhaps unwisely, the club has replaced it in the past few seasons with a jazzed-up modern version, with the apparent idea that this would appeal to younger fans. This was not a popular decision, but still it remains as the Club's opening music of choice.

Stadia

The "Double Decker" Stand
The "Double Decker" Stand

Leicester have played at numerous grounds, but only two since they joined the Football League. The Football League, also known as the Coca-Cola Football League for sponsorship reasons is a league competition featuring professional football clubs When first starting out they played on a field by the Fosse Road, hence the original name Leicester Fosse. They moved from there to Victoria Park, which at the time was a racecourse. Victoria Park in Leicester, England is a public park of 69 acres (279000 m² Due to this fact the team also played on Mill Lane and Belgrave Road. When Mill Lane was earmarked for redevelopment the club played at the County Cricket ground on Aylestone Road for the early part of the 1890 season. That year the club secured the use of an area ground by Filbert Street and thirteen months later they moved in to their new home. Filbert Street, in Leicester, England, was a football stadium and the home of Leicester City from 1891 to 2002

Filbert Street remained virtually unchanged until 1927 when a new two tier stand was built, named the Double Decker, a name it would keep till the grounds closure in 2002. The ground wasn't developed any further, apart from compulsory seating being added, till 1993 when work began on the new Carling Stand. The stand was impressive while the rest of the ground were untouched since at least the 1920s, this led manager Martin O'Neill to say he used to "lead new signings out backwards" so they only saw the Carling Stand. Martin Hugh Michael O'Neill OBE, (born 1 March 1952 in Kilrea, Northern Ireland) is a former Northern Ireland national football team captain [24]

The club moved away from Filbert Street in 2002 to a new 32,500 all-seater stadium. Amidst a strong feeling that the naming rights had been underpriced, the stadium was named the Walkers Stadium, although many supporters refer to the ground as Filbert Way, the road on which it is situated.
