West Ham began when the Thames Ironworks' shipyard group under Dave Taylor and the owner of Arnold Hills formed a football team in 1895 under the name Thames Ironworks Football Club. The team went on to become a professional club in 1898, where they started playing in the Southern League division 2nd league. They were direct promotion to the first division on his debut.
At first the team's uniform color was dark blue, but they added a combination of light blue and white pants in 1897. New in 1899 they changed again the color of the team uniform into maroon red and sky blue, the color he continues to wear until now. Due to his financial difficulties, in 1900, Thames Ironworks FC then almost fully disbanded and then re-formed a new team named West Ham United Football Club.
Rooted by the Thames Ironworks team, they still wear the same symbol, and are known today as 'The Iron' or 'The Hammers' (hammers) to the present day. The achievements of West Ham United's own clubs in the past have mostly been spent in the 2nd division and only a few times into the first division.
They had even been in the 2nd division for 30 years before Ted Fenton brought the promotional Hammers in 1958 and built a team with talented young players. the club began when Thames Ironworks workers set up a football team in 1895. The team competed in several amateur competitions and had won several local tournaments. Three years later, the club switched to professional status and began to compete in the Southern League's Second Division.
In 1899, the color of the blue club uniform was transformed into a maroon and blue blend, inspired by the success of Aston Villa, the league champion at the time. However, financial problems came to the club and in 1900, the club was overhauled and relaunched under a new name, West Ham United FC.

Unfortunately, West Ham defeated Bolton Wanderers, 2-0, at the party. West Ham was considered one of the keys to England's success in winning the 1966 World Cup.
Four goals from England in the final were contributed by two West Ham players Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst. The then team captain, Bobby Moore, was a West Ham legend. However, the team's performance began to decline during the 1970s, when the club had to go down the division.
