The traditional club colours are yellow shirts, green shorts and yellow socks. As of June 2006, the away kit is all white. The club badge consists of a canary resting on a football with the City of Norwich arms in the top left corner.

The fans' song On The Ball, City is regarded as being the oldest football song in the world and is in fact older than the club itself having been originally penned for Norwich Teachers and adapted for Norwich City.

History

Early years

The club was formed in 1902 and first played at Newmarket Road by a group of friends. They were ousted from the amateur game in 1905 for being a \"professional\" organisation and later the same year were elected to play in the Southern League.

Canary breeding was a popular hobby in Norwich and Norfolk at that time, (contrary to some suggestions, the canaries were not bred for use in mining, they were bred purely as a hobby). One of the early managers partook in this hobby and often referred to his players as \"his canaries\". Originally, the club was nicknamed the Citizens, and played in light blue and white halved shirts, but by 1907, the nickname Canaries had come more into vogue, to such an extent that the famous yellow shirts were adopted, to match the nickname.

In 1908, the club moved to a new home, in a converted disused chalk pit in Rosary Road which became known as \"The Nest\". By the 1930s, the ground capacity was proving insufficient for the growing crowds and in 1935 the club moved to its current home in Carrow Road. The original stadium was terraced on three sides with only one stand (along Carrow Road) having wooden bench seating and a roof.

One of the club's greatest achievements was its run to the semi-final of the 1958–59 FA Cup as a Third Division side, defeating First Division sides Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur on the way. They lost the semi-final only after a replay against another first division side, Luton Town FC.

In 1962 Norwich won their first piece of silverware, defeating Rochdale 4-1 on aggregate in a two-legged final to win the League Cup for the first time.

1970s and 1980s

In 1972, under manager Ron Saunders, Norwich City reached the First Division for the first time in their history. They played at Wembley Stadium for the first time in 1973, losing the League Cup final 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur. They reached the final again in 1975, this time losing 1-0 to Aston Villa.The club won the Milk Cup at Wembley Stadium in 1985 - with Ken Brown as manager - defeating Sunderland 1–0 after a semi-final triumph over its near neighbours and fierce rivals, Ipswich Town.
