The club's motto "Audere est Facere" means "Dare to act". As early as the First World War, Tottenham and neighboring Arsenal had become mortal enemies, and the game between the two teams was the famous "North London Derby".
History
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club family portrait
Tottenham Hotspur were the first team in the 20th century to become the league and FA Cup double champions . It is one of three teams that can win two FA Cups in a row, and the only team to achieve this feat twice. Winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963, they were the first British team to win a European championship.
Early Years
Tottenham Hotspur's predecessor, "Hotspur Football Club", was founded in 1882 by a group of students from "St John's Presbyterian School" Established by cricketers who were former students of St. John's Presbyterian School and Tottenham Grammar School. Since there were no cricket matches during the winter, they discussed forming a football team to maintain physical fitness. The name Hotspur comes from a character named "Harry Hotspur" in Shakespeare's play. In the play, the "Hosby" family is a noble family in North London and owns land in Tottenham. "Harry Hosby" was named after the spurs he wore when riding a horse. It is generally believed that the thorns on the rooster's feet in the Tottenham emblem also have this meaning: roosters used for fighting will also be equipped with spikes. The team was renamed Tottenham Hotspur to distinguish it from a local team called London Hotspur. The first competitive match was a 5–2 win against St. Albans in the London Association Cup in 1885. Tottenham joined the Southern League in 1896. In 1899 Tottenham moved into their new home at Tottenham, and the stadium was named after the owner's nearby pub - the "White Hart Lane" stadium. Won the Southern League championship for the first time in 1900. They won the FA Cup in 1901 and were the only non-league team in history to win the FA Cup. They only joined the Football League in 1908.
Join the League
Tottenham were finally accepted into the Second Division by the League One in the 1908-09 season, and were immediately promoted to the First Division as runners-up. However, Tottenham could only fight for relegation in the lower reaches of the First Division. At the end of the 1914-15 season, when all football matches were suspended due to the First World War, Tottenham was at the bottom of the table. In 1919, when the post-war football competition restarted, the League decided to increase the number of teams in Group A to 22. Chelsea, ranked 19th, was invited to stay in the league. The remaining seats should be Tottenham at the bottom of the table or Barcelona, ??ranked third in Group B. In the battle for Ensley, neither team was invited, but Arsenal, who were ranked fifth in the second division, took their place. Rumors of conspiracy theories spread, thus fueling the hostility towards Arsenal among Spurs fans. Tottenham won the Second Division championship in the 1919-20 season and then returned to the First Division. The following year (1921), they defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Stamford Bridge and won the FA Cup again.
Twenties to Forties
Following the FA Cup victory in 1921, Tottenham went through thirty years of nothing, while Arsenal became the premier league in North London. Class team. In the 1921-22 season, Tottenham finished second in the league behind Liverpool, and also advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Spurs gradually declined, finishing below 12th for the next five seasons, and were relegated to the Second Division in 1927-28, where they stayed until 1933.
Later, Tottenham were promoted back to the First Division under the leadership of Percy Smith. The forward combination at that time: GS Hunt, W Evans and Taffy O'Callaghan were the total** *Scored 75 goals and finished third in the league. However, Tottenham were relegated again in 1934-35. Until Britain announced its participation in World War II on September 3, 1939, Tottenham ranked seventh in the Second Division.
Push-and-Run in the post-war period
In the early post-war period, Tottenham were still struggling in the second division. Until Arthur Rowe took over the leadership of Tottenham in 1949, Rowe spent his entire playing career at Tottenham. He invented a "push-and-run" tactic, giving the ball to his teammates first. Then run past the opponent who intercepted him, and then receive the ball passed back by his teammate. This tactic allows players to play more smoothly and efficiently during the game, and its highly entertaining style of play has won the appreciation of more fans. Lou Wei led Tottenham to win the second division championship in the first season and was promoted to the first division. Immediately after being promoted to the first division, he won 25 wins, 10 and 7 losses, overwhelming Manchester United to win the first division first league championship (1950-1951), and became the first A team that won the A and B championships for two consecutive seasons. The champions included Alf Ramsey (who later led England to win the 1966 World Cup), Bill Nicholson (the coach who led Tottenham into its glory days), captain Ronnie Burgess, goalkeeper Dee Ted Ditchburn, Len Duquemin and Sonny Walters. Opponents gradually adapted to Tottenham's "pass and move" tactics. After finishing second in the league the following year, Tottenham's performance began to decline, and Lou Wei's health also deteriorated day by day. Finally, he retired in 1955 and was replaced by Jim Anderson (Jim Anderson). Anderson succeeded. Tottenham have gone through the days under Anderson's leadership quietly, waiting for the glorious years under Bill Nicolson to come...
Nicotsson: The Glorious Years
"The Glorious Years" "(Glory, Glory era) is the most important period in Tottenham's history. When Bill Nicolson joined Tottenham as an apprentice player in 1936, Nicolson handed over all his contributions to the club in the following 68 years, rising from shoe shine caddy to club president. Nicholson is still the permanent honorary president of Tottenham and attends every Tottenham game. In recognition of his contribution to Tottenham, the club also changed its address to "Bill Nicholson Way". ), Tottenham fans generally hope that one day they can return to the "glory days" of the Bill Nicolson era. Nicolson took over as Tottenham manager on October 11, 1958. On the day he took over, Tottenham defeated Everton 10-4. In the early 1960s, Nicolson led Tottenham to win important championships for three consecutive years: Including the 1961 League One and FA Cup double championship (the team's eleven wins in the opening season of the league is still a record), the 1962 FA Cup and the 1963 European Cup. The main players under Nicolson in the early days include: Danny Blanchflower: The captain of the glorious 1960s, a contemporary world-class right-sided midfielder, charismatic, and commanding teammates on the court. , made strategic adjustments, and worked side by side with Nicolson to create Tottenham's European style of play that emphasizes possession of the ball. Dave Mackay: Inherited the captain's armband since Blanche retired in 1964. On the midfield line, McGee is a powerful player, especially strong in interception, but this midfielder is a courageous player. Jimmy Greaves: Legendary striker, transferred from AC Milan in 1961 for ￡99,999. He is the league's top scorer six times and is the only player to win three consecutive terms. It is still the club's record holder for the most goals scored in a single season (1962-63, 37 goals) and the highest cumulative goals (1961-70, 220 goals).
In 1964, when the members of the double champions gradually disintegrated due to age, injuries and transfers, Nicolson began to rebuild the team, using new players such as Alan Gilzean (Alan Gilzean) and Mick England. (Mike England), Pat Jennings, Alan Mullery, Terry Venables and a pair of defenders Joe Kinnear and Shi Cyril Knowles. The new lineup first won the FA Cup and third place in the First Division for Tottenham in 1967. After joining Martin Chivers and Martin Peters, he won the League Cup in 1971 and 1973 and the UEFA Cup in 1973. Nicolson led Tottenham to become the first English club to win the European Cup. The team also experienced a revival in the early 1970s. Unfortunately, after losing four consecutive games at the beginning of the 1974 season, he broke with the top management and resigned. Tottenham also entered the In the dark times, although he returned to serve as a consultant in 1976, the glorious years have come to an end, and the team still ended in relegation...
Bujiansu: Calm Leadership
Terry Neill succeeded Nicolson as head coach, but Tottenham Hotspur Football Club player style (20 photos) could only wallow at the bottom of the table, and was eventually replaced by Keefe in June 1976. Keith Burkinshaw replaced Tottenham, but Tottenham could not escape the fate of relegation. It only took Tottenham one season to return to the First Division. Tottenham is about to start a new chapter. Bukinsu has introduced a pair of Argentine World Cup champions-Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricardo Villa, plus the attacking combination of Steve Archibald and Qu Garth Crooks, young Glenn Hoddle also began to emerge, and with the addition of Steve Perryman, a new generation of Tottenham began to take shape. In 1981, Tottenham beat Manchester City 3-2 in a replay to win the 100th English FA Cup. Villa twisted his waist to avoid numerous interceptions by the Manchester City defender, and his winning goal was even missed. Known as the golden goal in the history of the FA Cup. In 1982, the 100th anniversary of Tottenham's founding, Monte Carlo real estate tycoon Irving Scholar successfully acquired Tottenham, which was heavily in debt due to the expansion of the West Stand of White Hart Lane Stadium. And Yardinis was also loaned to Paris Saint-Germain due to the Falklands dispute. Tottenham reached the FA Cup final again. Also affected by the Falklands incident, Villa was not sent on by head coach Buchansu. The final ended in a 1-1 draw in overtime. The replay ended with a penalty kick from Hoddo. Defeating Queen's Park Rangers, a second-division team led by Yun Nabosi, 1-0, successfully defended the FA Cup for the second time and maintained a record of seven FA Cup finals. Unfortunately, Tottenham lost to Liverpool 1-3 in overtime in the League Cup final, and the European Cup Champions League was eliminated by Barcelona in the semi-finals. In 1983, Tottenham accepted sponsorship from the German beer brand "Holsten", which led to the first jersey advertisement, and the club was listed on the stock exchange to raise funds. Spurs tasted the UEFA Cup again in 1984, drawing 1-1 with Belgium's Andrej in both legs. After extra time in the second leg at White Hart Lane, Spurs exchanged penalty kicks. The goalkeeper Tony Parkes made a great save to win 4-3. A few days after the game, Butkinson left Tottenham due to disagreements with the Tottenham board of directors.
Shreeve and Bailie: Almost Success
Peter Shreeve (Peter Shreeve) is often mistakenly called "Shreeves" ("Shreeves"). He has been working at Spurs for ten years. He started as the head coach of the youth team, then became the head coach of the reserve team and assistant head coach of Bukinsu. He took over the leadership of Tottenham for two seasons. In the first year, he finished third in the league, but the results in the second season fell to Tenth and lost his position.
Former Luton manager David Pleat became Shurif's successor in May 1986, adopting Belgium's World Cup formation that year, supported by five midfielders including Hedu and Huado. Clive Allen's tactics helped Tottenham to advance towards three championships. In that season, Allen scored a club record 49 goals. In the end, he could only finish third in the league, and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup in two games. The round ended in a 2-2 draw, and they were eliminated by Arsenal 1-2 in the replay. However, they lost in the FA Cup final for the first time. They lost to Coventry City 2-3 after overtime. In the end, the team still had nothing. Tabloid revelations about his private life forced Bailey to resign in October 1987.
El Tel: Headline Player
Nicolson’s former star player Terry Venables returns to Tottenham from Barcelona, ??Spain to become Pele’s manager His successor began a stormy six-year term, during which White Hart Lane was often in the headlines. After a dull first two seasons, they defeated Manchester United in 1988 and joined forces with Newcastle to acquire Paul Gascoigne for a record transfer fee in England (￡2 million). Gary Lineker switched from Barcelona to Tottenham in 1989 and rejoined Van Nabos. In the 1989/90 season, Van Nabos led the team to a good third place result, and won the FA Cup again the following year. Although Gascoigne injured his knee due to a reckless interception in the early stages of the final and retreated, in the end They defeated Nottingham Forest 2-1 in overtime and won the FA Cup for a record eighth time. Vanabaus teamed up with businessman Alan Sugar to buy the debt-ridden Tottenham Hotspur, repaying a huge debt of 20 million pounds, which was partly obtained from the sale of Gascoigne to Lazio of Italy for 5.5 million pounds. Record-breaking transfer fee. Van Nabos became the president of Tottenham and re-appointed Schreev as head coach, which lasted only one season before being replaced by the double coach of Doug Livermore and Ray Clemence. Tottenham started their first season of the Premier League and could only finish in a disappointing eighth place. Van Nabos had a falling out with Suga and was eventually kicked off the board of directors.
Ardiles: The situation is over
Ossie Ardiles (Ossie Ardiles), who led West Bromwich Albion to victory in the League Two promotion play-offs in the first season, became the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur in 1993. Head coach. Gascoigne and Lianegar have left, replaced by new players such as Teddy Sheringham and Gordon Durie. Due to the impact of the legal proceedings between Suga and Vanabaus, Tottenham's overall morale was low. The threat of relegation was not lifted until the final second round of the league, and they could only finish 15th. Due to the scandal of illegal payments in the 1980s, Tottenham were severely punished by the FA. In the new season of 1994/95, they were deducted 12 points from the Super League, suspended from participating in the FA Cup for one year, and fined 600,000 pounds. Suga protested that the person concerned had already left Tottenham and was accepted, evading points deductions and suspensions. Yardinis launched a large-scale acquisition, buying three expensive foreign players, German forward Jürgen Klinsmann and Romanian midfielders Gheorghe Popescu and Ilie Dumitrescu. Klinsmann performed well against each other and often scored beautiful goals and became the favorite of White Hart Lane. However, the three players did not help Tottenham achieve good results, and Yardinis was dismissed in September 1994.
Promise outweighs performance
Former Queens Park Rangers head coach Gerry Francis succeeded Yardinis and slightly reversed Tottenham's disadvantage. In 1994/95 For the rest of the season, they lost to Everton 1-4 in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and were able to climb to seventh place in the league. In 1995/96, Tottenham ranked eighth in the league and lost qualifications for European competitions. During this period, some key players were sold: Bambi (Middlesbrough), Klinsmann (Bayern Munich) and Park Biscu (Barcelona). In the 1996/97 season, Tottenham were under great pressure, falling to tenth in the league and exiting all cup competitions early.
The joining of Les Ferdinand and David Ginola in the 1997/98 season failed to change Tottenham's weakness in the Premier League. In November, Tottenham became the second team at the bottom of the table and truly felt the threat of relegation. Crisis, Francis was dismissed from office. Christian Gross, the head coach of the Swiss championship team Grasshoppers, took office. First of all, he once again borrowed the legendary striker Klinsmann. As a result, he was able to retain Tottenham's first-division seat. However, Grosz's mediocre performance and the lack of direction in the team eventually led him to be fired. He left Tottenham after defeating Everton 1-0 in an away game on September 5, 1998, and Grosz took over Tottenham's first game. It was a visit to Goodison Park Stadium. Unexpectedly, George Graham, who was once the head coach of rival Arsenal, took over as coach. In 1998/99, they were in the mid-table eleventh place in the league. The League Cup championship became Graham's only achievement during his tenure. The final was won in Wenzhou. Bly defeated Leicester City 1-0. The performance in the following 1999/2000 was poor, and the league continued to rank tenth in the middle. The UEFA Cup was eliminated by Kesharoton as early as the second round, and the FA Cup and League Cup failed to break into the fourth round. Graham also feels that his time at Tottenham is numbered. Since the beginning of 2001, Suga has been constantly ridiculed, insulted and threatened by dissatisfied Tottenham fans, and even threatened against his family. The grumpy Suga could not bear it anymore, so he had to sell control of Tottenham to Daniel Levy. ENIC Sports PLC, run by Levy, a loyal Tottenham fan.
Hoddle and Bailie: Broken Dreams Again
Glenn Hoddle can be said to be one of the greatest players in Tottenham history, but as a head coach , but its results were disappointing. Hedu took over as head coach on April 2, 2001. Tottenham were ranked 13th at the time and had a group of old and weak players (9 players were 30 years old or above). His first coaching game happened to be in the FA Cup semi-finals when he met his arch-rival Arsenal and failed and was eliminated. Even more frustrating is the fact that captain Sol Campbell joined arch-rivals Arsenal on a free transfer after the break. Since Tottenham only provided a small amount of funds to acquire players, Hedu had no choice but to acquire cheap and practical veterans such as Schunningham, Gus Poyet and Christian Ziege, and then purchased them from his old employer Southampton. Dean Richards replaces Sue Gamble at centre-back. Tottenham's performance improved significantly in the following season, ranking ninth in the final season. Tottenham still performed well in cup competitions. They reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup and were eliminated by Chelsea. They reached the final of the League Cup but lost 1-2 to Blackpool. The Rangers have prevented Tottenham from qualifying for the European competition again, greatly increasing the pressure on Holland in the coming season. Tottenham were once again only able to provide limited funds to buy players in the off-season, with the only major acquisition being Robbie Keane from Leeds United for ￡7 million. Tottenham started the 2002/03 season well, leading the table after the first four games and still ranked in the top six until the end of February. However, they could only score 7 points from 10 games at the end of the season and had to be ranked in the disappointing 2002/03 season. The tenth place. In the middle of the season, some underused players have publicly criticized Hedu's leadership methods, especially his poor communication skills. It didn't help that Hoddle blamed a lack of support from the board, particularly then-director of football Bailey. After only six games in the 2003/04 season, Hedu was dismissed and Bailie temporarily took over as head coach. Rumors circulated that the board, headed by Levy, wanted to find a successor in Europe. Bailie also temporarily replaced the entire season. The League Cup and FA Cup were eliminated by Middlesbrough and Manchester City respectively, and the league could only rank a disappointing 14th place.
Jennicen, Sintini and Zur: European coaches
After months of media speculation about the new head coach, Tottenham finally announced the hiring of a Danish national in May 2004. Frank Arnesen is the sports director, former French national team coach Jacques Santini is the head coach, and Martin Jol, a Dutchman who played in England, is the head coach. Assistant coach, a new European coach combination was formed from the beginning.
Cintini has achieved certain results for the Ligue 1 club before, but his defensive style does not suit Tottenham's taste. At the beginning of the season against Chelsea, he deployed a "9-0-1" defensive tactic and ended the game 0-0. After the tie, he was ridiculed by rival coach Mourinho as "parking a team bus in front of the goal to defend". The team's morale continued to be low. Sintini took office for just 5 months and coached 13 games. He resigned in November and Zur took over as coach. Tottenham's performance steadily improved, and Zuer also won the honor of the Premier League Manager of the Month in December 2004. However, poor away results meant that Tottenham could only finish in a mediocre ninth place. In June 2005, Yannicen was poached by arch-rivals Chelsea, but Zuer's performance in leading the team in the subsequent 2005/06 season was surprising, because Tottenham stayed at the club for six months during that season. The top four in the standings. Until the last game of the league against their old rival Arsenal, Tottenham were still one point ahead of the opponent and ranked fourth in the standings. Unfortunately, before the game, more than half of Tottenham's players were suddenly infected with gastroenteritis caused by norovirus. As a result, Tottenham, who had half-strength to attack, lost the North London derby and lost their precious UEFA Champions League qualification. Qualification was handed over to Arsenal.
Ramos: Big thunder but little rain
Ranzul once again achieved fifth place in the league in the 2006/07 season, but the club management, eager to go further, began to He lost patience with him, so in the early stages of the 2007/08 season, Ramos, who was loaned from Spain, was hired at a high salary to replace Zur. Ramos' previous performance at Sevilla led to widespread fans' expectations that he could elevate the young player to a higher level. However, the only thing worthy of praise during Ramos' tenure is that he defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the League Cup final in February 2008 and won the club's first championship since the millennium. Tottenham's performance in the league became repetitive. In the early stages of the 2008-09 season, it was even more frustrating to hover at the bottom of the standings. It was not until mid-October that the team lost to Italy's Udinese in the UEFA Cup and was eliminated. , finally became the trigger for Ramos's immediate dismissal. What is irredeemable is that 2008/09 has become Tottenham's worst start to a season in the club's century-old history.
Harry Redknapp: Harry Magic
Portsmouth’s England coach Harry Redknapp was immediately appointed as the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. Facing the mess left by Ramos in the 20th place in the standings, and the fact that a pair of main forwards Berbatov and Robbie Keane had been sold in the summer, Harry began to rebuild his own localized lineup. . The effect was immediate, with wins over Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester City and a thrilling 4-4 ??draw with Arsenal giving Spurs 10 points out of 12, leaving them out of the relegation zone just two weeks after Harry took over. The team finally finished the 2008-09 season in 8th place. Although they won the last round of the league, they still failed to surpass Fulham, who also scored 3 points. This made Tottenham rarely miss the European competition in the 2009-10 season. . Robbie Keane also returned to the team during the winter and resumed his role as captain after an unsatisfactory trip to Liverpool. In a short period of time, Harry Redknapp single-handedly saved Tottenham from the relegation vortex and raised the ranking to a point where European qualification is in sight. This achievement of Harry Redknapp surprised Tottenham fans and made many people break their glasses. Some media and football critics even jokingly called it Harry Redknapp's magic. In the 2009-2010 quarter, Tottenham continued their heroic performance at the end of the previous season. They won the first four games of the season, including a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the opening game. Aaron Lennon, Huddlestone and other local players performed ideally. , the defense changed its bad habit of worrying about gains and losses, and its overall outstanding performance earned Harry the title of Best Coach of the Month in August; forward Defoe also won the Player of the Month award. On November 22, 2009, the team beat Wigan Athletic 9-1 at home at White Hart Trail, setting a new record for the club's biggest win in the top flight. Defoe scored 5 goals in the second half, including in the 7th minute. He performed a hat-trick and became the third person to score 5 goals in a single game in the history of the Premier League after Shearer and Andy Cole.
On April 14, 2010, Tottenham defeated Arsenal 2-1 with a left-footed long-range shot by Danny Rose, who was starting the league for the first time, and Gareth Bell's goal, and won the first victory since 1999. The first victory in the Premier League against their old rival in North London also destroyed the opponent's dream of winning the title. On May 5th, Tottenham defeated their rival Manchester City 1-0 at the Manchester City Stadium. They were sure to overtake the opponent in the standings, finish the league in at least fourth place, and qualify for the UEFA Champions League. They will compete in the next season. It will make a historic entry into the Champions League, but it must first pass the test of the two-round fourth qualifying round. Finally, as the 2009-10 season came to an end, Tottenham scored 70 points in the standings with a record of 21 wins, 7 losses and 10 losses, which was the highest score at the end of a season since 1987. With this, Tottenham not only secured fourth place in the league, but also broke the monopoly of the Premier League that had been monopolized by the four major families for five years. Harry Redknapp won the Premier League's Best Manager award after the season, becoming the second coach in history for a non-championship team to win this honor. This also reflects that his achievements and contributions since joining in 2008 are purposeful. ***See you. On the afternoon of September 1, 2010, nearly 24 hours after the Premier League transfer window closed, the Premier League committee finally approved Tottenham's acquisition of Van der Vaart from Real Madrid for 8 million pounds. Lao Lei also pinned his hopes on Van der Vaart, "He is a top player, a true classic. He is simply from another planet!" Van der Vaart also played 46 minutes in Tottenham's first Champions League game and assisted once. Coupled with Tottenham young players Bell, Modric, veteran players Ledley King, Gala, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, etc., Tottenham can completely compete with the top players in the Champions League!
Edit this paragraph's emblem
Tottenham Hotspur has used a fighting cock as the club's symbol since the 1901 FA Cup final. Since the club is named after Lancastrian Sir Henry Percy (known as Harry Hotspur, who was written into one of Shakespeare's plays), it is logical to use his famous spurs and fighting cocks as symbolic images. In 1909, a player named William James Scott cast a bronze statue for the team, but added a spherical base at the foot of the gamecock. The club decided to place the bronze statue on the roof of the west stand of the stadium. Above, it has stood for a whole century since then, silently watching all the team's home games. In 1982, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the club's birth, commemorative words were added to the club's charter. In 1983, in order to combat unauthorized counterfeit goods, the emblem needed to become more complex, so the club added two red totem lions and the club's motto to the pattern. This emblem was used for more than 20 years. On the Tottenham jersey. In 1997, Tottenham's new emblem was released, incorporating landmarks and designs related to Tottenham into the coat of arms. The lions on both sides of the shield are the emblem of the Northumberland family, as Henry Percy was a member of the family and the lord of Tottenham. The castle painted on the upper left represents Bruce Castle, just 400 yards from the course, whose current site has been converted into a museum. The seven trees on the upper right commemorate the seven sisters who planted trees on Page Green in Tottenham. Some local railways, subways, and roads are also named after them. The Latin motto "Audere Est Facere" is also written on the ribbon below the shield. After two years of use, the emblem was restored to its original appearance in 1999. On January 19, 2006, Tottenham Club officially announced the launch of a new emblem. In order to cooperate with the club's image innovation and modernization, the club hired a professional design company to re-create the emblem. The new version of the emblem is simpler than the previous one, with clear lines. It retains the classics and is refreshing at the same time. It has been officially used since the 2006/07 season, and the emblem is embroidered on The emblem on the player's uniform will omit the club name below.
Edit this section of team uniform
Tottenham Hotspur’s first uniform after its establishment was a navy blue top and shorts, but since the first season (1882) ), there has been no established style design since then. For example, in 1884, a symmetrical pink blue and white shirt was used. In 1890, when the team moved to Northumberland Road, it was changed to a bright red top.
When Tottenham joined the Southern League in 1896 and officially became a professional club, the team uniform was changed to a dark brown and gold vertical striped shirt. The style of Tottenham Hotspur uniforms was gradually finalized at the end of the 19th century. The new design of Tottenham Hotspur players in 1898 (12 photos) is composed of pure white shirts and navy blue shorts, which is what Tottenham Hotspur are today. The rudimentary form of the jersey, and the clean and pure image of the team jersey also began to cause the outside world to give Tottenham the nickname "Lilywhites" (Lilywhites). It has been said that the reason for using these two colors is to pay tribute to Preston Football Club, the winner of the first league and FA Cup double championship. White and navy blue have been retained as the club's basic colors since then. Since then, the team jersey has only changed slightly. After the First World War, a rooster badge was embroidered on the chest; in 1939, player numbers began to be printed on the back of the team jersey. . In 1983, German brewer Holsten became the first sponsorship brand to be printed on the chest of Tottenham's jersey. Tottenham Hotspur became a pioneer in wearing knee-length shorts in 1991. At that time, most teams in the football world wore shorts above the knees. Knee-length shorts were an innovative trend at the time, and subsequently all teams rushed to imitate them. . Thomson's red logo was chosen as the chest sponsorship trademark in 2002, causing quite a controversy among some Tottenham fans because it was the color of arch-rival Arsenal. In 2006, Tottenham won a huge sponsorship contract from the international gambling group Mansion, worth a total of 34 million pounds.
