Back in the elite division of English football after seven seasons, the Norwich City begins long before its official founding. In 1861, in England, came a football team named Notts County and a fight between the two leaders of the team was responsible for the origin of Norwich.

The Notts, exactly one month after the breakup, was officially founded on November 28, 1862, and became recognized as the professional football team the world's oldest. Norwich have already adopted the name of the town in eastern England and later moved to the region. The blue and white club has gained popularity and was dubbed the "Citizens" (Citizens). Officially started on June 17, 1902, the Norwich City.

The Norwich won the crowds and popular pastime of creating canaries gave rise to the nickname that would put the club in football history: the "Canaries" ("Canary" or "Canarinhos"). In 1905, the team was already considered high, leaving the amateur to gain professional status. The following season, the Norwich, inspired by the new nickname, played first with yellow shirts and green details and perpetuate its colors.

Founded in 1914, with the original white and blue uniform, a well known team in world football has also adopted the green and then yellow. Eleven years after the first game of Norwich with its colors, the Brazilian team first used this mixture on your shirt. In the South American 1916, now known as Copa America, Brazil used a uniform with green and yellow stripes. However, it was short lived because the aristocracy did not admit they had a sport as "bums", took the colors of the Brazilian flag.

Some time later, after losing the title to Uruguay 50, in Maracan?, something had to be made and the solution was to retire the white shirt with blue collars. With the support of the Brazilian Sports Confederation (CBD), then the entity responsible for the national football competition was launched to create a new uniform by using the colors of the Brazilian flag. The winner was a gaucho named 19 years Aldyr Garcia Schlee and yellow-green to be used again, this time much like a shirt with the Norwich: yellow with green collar and cuffs. In 1954, was born the shirt of the Brazilian canary.
