For the sake of clarity, the new club adopted the title of Ipswich Association FC to differentiate themselves from Ipswich FC, the local rugby club. For their first home ground, Broom Hill was chosen, to the north of the town centre. During that summer serious talks were held with the rugby club regarding an amalgamation of the two bodies and this suggestion became reality. For those interested in such things, the football pitch of that time is the current training area.
Ipswich Town, inspired no doubt by their maritime association, were clad in blue and white striped shirts in their early days. In they turned professional and after winning the Southern League at the first attempt and finishing third the following season, they were elected to the Football League on May 30th, By this time they were wearing plain blue shirts, adding white sleeves only after the Second World War, a kit famously worn when they won their only League title under manager Alf Ramsey.
All-blue shirts returned at the beginning of the Sixties while white sleeves were back in the Nineties. But the club has remained loyal to its original blue and white. From the early days of the club up until the badge appeared in a number of different forms like with and without the ITFC lettering or with IFC lettering only.
The demi-lion in the crest holds a three-masted ship with sails. This ship appeared originally on a thirteenth-century town seal. Two sea-horses with fish tails, representing the maritime background, act as supporters for the shield, which shows three half-ships on a blue background each impaled with a gold lion passant of England on a red background.
Until the 14th century the Cinque Ports provided the permanent nucleus of the royal fleet having probably been first associated in the reign of Edward the Confessor for the defence of the coast and cross-Channel passage. The common arms of the associated towns of the confederation were variations of the English lions with ship-hull tails. The history of the present club badge is an interesting topic and the concept originated from a competition.
From the hundreds of entries submitted the club eventually chose the design of Mr John Gammage. The club have retained all his original thoughts on the idea, as his words explain:. From the Royal Coat of Arms, the family crests of Earls and Dukes, to the badges of the smallest clubs, there are thousands of different designs. Ipswich Town Football Club. EMAIL enquiries itfc.
