Burnley FC

Burnley is an English professional football team currently playing its first season in the Premier League for 33 years. The club is based at their 22,700 seater stadium Turf Moor in Burnley. The Burnley home strip is a claret shirt with sky blue sleeves, similar to that of Aston Villa, with white shorts and claret socks. Their strip gives them the nickname ‘The Clarets.’ Burnley has had success in their history, with two First Division wins and an FA Cup, although they have also suffered relegation to as far down as Division Four.
