Premier League club nicknames 2023/24
The fan bases of clubs are extremely fond of their nicknames because they frequently have a long-standing historical link to their club.
Arsenal – The Gunners
The name “Arsenal” was given to the squad by a group of munitions workers who established the club in 1886 at Woolwich, London’s Royal Arsenal Factory. As a tribute to its past as a factory that produced weapons and explosives, the Arsenal crest now features a cannon.
Aston Villa – The Villans
- Other Nicknames: The Villa, The Lions
The nickname Villa is not just a play on the club’s name; fan historians have found a link to the urban legend of the “Villa Villan.” The term “Villa Villan” has persisted among Villa supporters ever since it first appeared in the local Sports Argus newspaper in 1879, despite contradicting stories regarding his existence.
Bournemouth – The Cherries
There are two main hypotheses as to why Bournemouth acquired the fruit-flavored moniker, and supporters are unsure of which is true. While some link it to Dean Court’s proximity to the Cooper-Dean estate, which previously had a big cherry orchard. Some relate it to the club’s choice to use cherry-red striped jerseys as their home uniform.
Brentford – The Bees
Brentford have made as much noise as their nickname suggests throughout their first two seasons in the Premier League. The term “Bees” first appeared in the 1890s when students at a local school chanted “up the Bs,” which reporters misheard as “Bees.”
Brighton & Hove Albion -The Seagulls
- Other Nicknames: The Albion
The association between seagulls and Brighton dates back to 1977, when a seagull was added to the club’s badge. Formerly, the club crest was emblazoned with the nickname “The Dolphins,” but the seagull connection was introduced in reaction to animosity between fans.
The continuous rivalry between Brighton and Crystal Palace is said to involve the chant “Seagull……Seagull” as a reaction to Palace’s “Eagles…..Eagles.”
Burnley – The Clarets
Burnley’s name stems from a straightforward concept that would suit famous former manager Sean Dyche. Since the team’s primary home shirt colour was claret and the club’s logo was based on the town’s coat of arms, they were known as the “Clarets.”
Chelsea – The Blues
- Other Nicknames: The Pensioners
Chelsea’s name growth and Burnley’s way of thinking are comparable. The club’s other name, The Chelsea Pensioners, has a deeper meaning. All soldier pensions were managed and paid after World War II by the nearby Royal Chelsea Hospital, which had tight relations to the team.
Crystal Palace – The Eagles
- Other Nicknames: The Glaziers
The fact that Brighton changed their nickname from The Glaziers to The Eagles in 1974 gives Brighton and Palace’s rivalry a tenuous connection.
Malcolm Allison’s proposal to enhance the team included a new nickname inspired by the Portuguese team Benfica and a new emblem with an eagle holding a ball.
Fulham – The Cottagers
The origin of Fulham’s moniker is its affiliation with Craven Cottage, their home stadium since 1896. With a 1780-built hunting lodge now serving as the foundation for Craven Cottage.
Everton – The Toffees
- Other Nicknames: The Blues, The People’s Club, The School of Science
One of the most intriguing nicknames in Premier League history belongs to Everton and is related to sweet teeth. The history of the club and the treat goes all the way back to Mother Noblett’s Toffee Shop in Everton village at the turn of the 20th century. The team has maintained the relationship by making free mints a common sight at Goodison Park. The store famously sold the Everton Mint.
Liverpool -The Reds
- Other Nicknames: Pool
The name “The Reds” was given to Liverpool after switching to an all-red uniform for the 1956–1966 season.
Luton Town -The Hatters
Another local industry cited in the namesake of Luton is its history of hat manufacturing, which spans more than 400 years.
Manchester City – The Cityzens
- Other Nicknames: The Blues, The Sky Blues
Manchester City’s nickname, The Cityzens, is more than simply a simple repetition of the team name. City’s recent success has increased the popularity of the nickname. It is a clear jab at City’s bitter rival Manchester United, who are also referred to as “citizens of Manchester,” in light of United’s apparently smaller local fan base.
Manchester United – The Red Devils
- Other Nicknames: United
After the 1958 Munich Air Disaster, Manchester United adopted the moniker “The Red Devils” beginning in the 1960s. Sir Matt Busby chose to emulate Salford rugby team, also known as The Red Devils, in an effort to shed the “Busby Babes” moniker. A devil from 1970 was formally added to United’s club badge.
Newcastle United – The Magpies
- Other Nicknames: Toon Army, The Geordies
Another Premier League team with distinctive black-and-white stripes that resemble a magpie bird are Newcastle. A magpie was once depicted on the club’s crest.
Nottingham Forest – Forest
- Other Nicknames: The Reds, Tricky Trees, The Garibaldi
About as simple as it appears, this one is. Strong connections exist between the legends of Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood and Nottingham’s Forest Recreation Ground, the site of Nottingham Forest’s former home games. The name and nickname of the team are derived from this.
Sheffield United – The Blades
The city’s own nickname, the Steel City, which is based on the long-standing relationship with everything metallic, is where the name Sheffield United originates. Sheffield has a long history of producing steel products such as forks, spoons, and knives (blades).
Tottenham – The Lilywhites
- Other Nicknames: Spurs
Although Tottenham and Spurs, the club’s de facto names, have virtually evolved to mean the same thing through time, The Lilywhites has kept the team’s official nickname because of its connection to a white home jersey.
West Ham – The Hammers
West Ham’s nicknames, The Hammers and The Irons, both originate from the club’s associations with the Thames Ironworks and are practically interchangeable.
Wolves – The Wolves
- Other Nicknames: The Wanderers
Another name that is self-explanatory is “wolves.” The team has been known as Wolves for almost the entire time that it has existed since Wolverhampton Wanderers was founded in 1877.
