The team has played in orange and black for the majority of its existence, so ‘The Tigers’ was an easy jump to make. Manchester United: Red Devils: The club chose the name because they liked it and incorporated a devil into the club badge. The Iron.
Supporters reportedly took to shouting, “Here come the bag men!”, which developed into “Here come the baggies!” over time.There’s no doubt that some clubs have some quite ludicrous and stupid nicknames. Middlesbrough: Boro: Abbreviation: Newcastle United: Magpies, The Barcodes, The Toon : based on colour of kit - black and white. The Chairboys. Drop me an Toon - Geordie pronounciation of town. Take Kidderminster Harriers, as an example.
Because it was created by disaffected supporters of the Red Devils, the Manchester Evening News decided to give the club the nickname … Plymouth Argyle. More likely is the fact that the money from supporters used to be collected into big bags and then given a police escort along the side of the pitch to the main office on the halfway line.

That is the rationale for why the citizens of Hartlepool decided to hang a monkey, believing it to be a French spy. Similarly, Wycombe was the home of the local furniture making industry so Wycombe Wanderers became known as ‘The Chairboys’.Hartlepool United are the owners of one of the game’s most ridiculous nicknames and accompanying stories. The club was founded in 1893. Benefit options may vary by group size. That seems unlikely, however, with most teams not exactly wearing skintight clothing back in the late part of the 19th century. Oxford Benefit Management, Inc. acts as the distribution company for products.
Oxford United and former Scotland forward Jamie Mackie retires at the age of 34. Kidderminster was the home of the modern carpet industry, so the football club took on the nickname of ‘The Carpetmen’. Again, there’s no definitive explanation for where this moniker has come from, with some suggesting that it was because the players used to wear baggy shorts in the early days of the clubs existence. Instead it is far more convoluted than that. Dial Square was the centre of the Royal Arsenal complex itself, but many felt the name didn’t work for a football club so they became Royal Arsenal just a month after forming. This list excludes the District of Columbia and U.S.
