Arsenal Football Club have used persistent squad numbers since 1993, and team numbers since 1928.
Arsenal were founded as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, but were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. They renamed themselves again to Woolwich Arsenal after turning professional in 1891. The club made their debut in the FA Cup in 1889 and joined The Football League in 1893. They were renamed Arsenal in 1914, a year after their move across London to Arsenal Stadium, Highbury. They currently play at The Emirates Stadium in Holloway.[1]
