Leyton Orient FC

They are simply called The O's or Orient for short. The club's colour is red, and the home jerseys are also largely red. The away game is then played in black or a combination of red and white. They are at home at Brisbane Road Stadium, which has a spectator capacity of 9,271. The founding of this English club occurred in 1881 in the East London borough of Leyton. The name at the time was Eagle Cricket Club, hence the original focus. Football began to be played here seven years later. The club has been renamed several more times, and has borne its current name since 1987.

AFC Bournemouth

They call them The Cherries. Also, their club color is red. But most importantly, the stadium they play in is near the cherry orchards on the Cooper-Dean estate. Interestingly, their red and black striped jerseys are based on the original jerseys of Italian club AC Milan, and have been since 1971. The club also adopted a new logo at that time as a symbol of progress and the start of a new era. This features stripes in the background, the same as on the jerseys, and a silhouette in the foreground symbolising a player with a ball. This is Dickie Bowsett, who played for the club in the 1950s.
