Sunderland AFC: A Brief History of the Club and Its Kit

Sunderland AFC, also known as "The Black Cats", is an English football club out of the northeast of England. The club was founded in 1879 under the name "Sunderland & District Teachers Association", and was elected to The Football League in 1890. The club has won six division titles and the FA Cup twice.

While the Sunderland Away Kit has undergone many changes over the years, the unmistakable red and white vertical stripe design of the Sunderland Home Kit can be traced as far back as the 1887-88 season. The crest that adorns the Sunderland Home Shirt and Sunderland Away Shirt included a ship for most of the club's history, but took its present form in 1997 to coincide with the club's move to the Stadium of Lights.
