Bristol (England)
Founded in 1894 under the name "Bristol South End, the club adopted professional status in 1897 and was renamed" Bristol City FC. " He joined the League in 1901 (Division 2).
The jersey and shorts Robins evolve navy between 1894 and 1987 and then adopt white shorts. It should be noted an attempt to black shorts in the 1950s, quickly abandoned.
City of Brycgstow, Old English place in Bridge Bryste Welsh, existed at the beginning of the eleventh century, under the Norman government, one of the strongest castles in southern England was built there. In the twelfth century, the place became an important port, covering the majority of traffic to Ireland. In 1247, a new bridge was built and the city was extended by incorporating the suburbs, becoming in 1373 one county alone. During this period Bristol also became a center of shipbuilding and manufacturing.
In the fourteenth century, the city became the third of England (after London and York) with perhaps 15 000 - 20 000 inhabitants on the eve of the Black Death of 1348-1349. The population remained at around 10 000-12 000 in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Bristol City was done in 1542, the former Abbey of St Augustine became the occasion for the Bristol Cathedral. In 1484, the privateer Jean Breton Coatanlem led an expedition against the city of Bristol in a revenge attack against Roscoff English, four years ago.

In 1497, the city was the starting point of the voyage of exploration of John Cabot in North America.
During the English Civil War (1643-1645), the city suffered from the royalist occupation and epidemics.
The growth came in the seventeenth century with the development of British colonies in North America and the rapid expansion of trade, including slaves.
Bristol was later challenged, from 1760, for Liverpool with his new production centers in particular with regard to textiles. Moreover, the upheavals of the war with Napoleon's France (including the continental blockade) and the abolition of the transport of slaves in 1807 put a brake on development of port activity in Bristol. The long passage of the Avon Gorge under severe tides, which had made very sure the port during the Middle Ages had become a handicap. The construction of a new floating pier (designed by William Jessop) failed to overcome this decline. However, the population of 66 000 in 1801 increased fivefold during the nineteenth century supported by new industries and an active trade. This period of economic revival may be associated with the name of the senior engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who built the great railway from the west, steamships and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
During the Second World War, the city center was damaged by bombing and still retains the legacy.
The elimination of Avonmouth Docks, 12 km downstream from the center, allowed to relieve congestion (traffic and land thrust characteristics of modern Western cities).
