Yellow and Dark Blue
Stamford Bridge has been the home of Chelsea Football Club ever since Gus Mears bought the ground in 1905 and decided to found a brand new football team to occupy it. The stadium itself was originally used as an athletics club and maintained that purpose until about 1904. That was when two brothers, Gus and Joseph Mears, acquired the land and decided that they wanted to stage professional marches there. Interestingly, in 1898 Stamford Bridge actually hosted the World Championship final of shinty! The ground was originally offered to nearby Fulham Football Club by the Mears brothers, but they turned it down for financial reasons causing the brothers to start their own club as a direct rival to Fulham. That team was, of course, Chelsea and they haven’t left Stamford Bridge since.
