One of the most famous teams in world football has a nickname, just like they all so often have these days.<\/p>\n
And Liverpool\u2019s is The Reds<\/em>.<\/p>\n But why and where did this name originate from?<\/p>\n Well, you\u2019re going to be mind-blown when you hear the backstory.<\/p>\n In the current day, Liverpool resembles the red half of the city, with Everton representing the blue.\u00a0 Most Liverpool Apparel<\/a> is logically red or white these days. But it did not always used to be that way.<\/p>\n Everton were founded in 1886 and played at Anfield.<\/p>\n How mad is that? Yes, they PLAYED at ANFIELD.<\/p>\n But in 1892, President John Houlding, who owned the famous ground, had a bust-up with the Everton owners over the rent.<\/p>\n He had cheekily put the rent up from \u00a3100 to \u00a3250 which was A LOT of money in those days.<\/p>\n This led to the breakaway of Everton moving to Goodison Park and Anfield without a team.<\/p>\n So, Houlding founded Liverpool FC, and he wanted the Everton name originally but thank goodness he wasn\u2019t able to get it, and so the adventure or should I say, the football love story, began.<\/p>\nDressing like Everton<\/h2>\n
