The team was founded as St. Lukes in 1877 by John Baynton and John Brodie after a group of pupils at St Luke's school in Blakenhall had been presented with a football by their headmaster Harry Barcroft. Two years later, they merged with local cricket and football club The Wanderers, to form Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Wolverhampton Wanderers play in one of the most famous and recognisable strips in British football. The traditional colours are gold shirts and black shorts although in the club's early days the team sported various versions of these colours including old gold and black stripes and old gold and black diagonal halves. The traditional away colour of Wolves is all white.
The first badge to be worn on Wolves shirts was the city crest of Wolverhampton which was usually worn on special occasions such as cup finals. In the late 1960s, Wolves introduced their own club badge which consisted of a single leaping wolf that was later increased to three leaping wolves. In 1979, Wolves brought out the now famous wolf-head badge. Its simple and stylised design has made it one of the most recognisable club badges in British football and it still proudly adorns the famous old gold shirts today.
