Original Fanwear football polo Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday is an English football club founded on Wednesday 4 September 1867 and playing in the Football League Championship.

The club was originally founded in 1820 as a cricket club under the name The Wednesday Cricket Club (the name Wednesday comes from the fact that members of the cricket club were free from work and other obligations on Wednesdays), while football served to keeping the players together in the winter months, and as a kind of training. However, the football team was much more successful than the cricket team: already in 1882 the two teams were separated and in 1925 the cricket team was even disbanded.
