Hammers

Claret and blue

Hammers is the nickname for West Ham United, an English football club based in East London.

The name derives from the club's origins among Thames Ironworks shipbuilders, whose crossed hammers appear on the club crest: The Hammers face Liverpool this weekend. (Lowercase hammers refers to the tools or the verb.)
