Official Website: rovers.co.uk Description: Blackburn Rovers were founded on November 5th, 1875. The club did not have a ground of its own in its first couple of years resulting in the Rovers name. They were founder members of the Football League, launched in 1888. Blackburn Rovers are still the only club to have won the FA Cup three consecutive times and, as a result, are allowed to display the FA Cup emblem on their corner flags during matches. The club's emblem includes the Lancashire rose (Blackburn is a city in Lancashire county), the year of the club's foundation and the club motto - Arte et Labore (Through Skill and Hard Work). The club's original jerseys were green and white quarters, modeled after that of Malvern College, which several founders attended. Several years later the leadership of the club passed to some former Cambridge University students, who changed the colors to the blue and white of that school. Ewood Park is named for the Ewood area of Blackburn. Previous stadiums - Oozehead (1876-77), Pleasington Cricket Ground (1877-78), Alexandra Meadows (1878-81), Learnington Street (1881-90).
