History

In 1921 Trabzon ?dman Oca were founded.^[4] Trabzonspor were founded through a merger of several local clubs including ?dman Oca in 1967.^[5]

They won league titles in 1975-76, 1976-77, 1977-78, 1979-80, 1980-81 and 1983-84.^[1]

In the 2010-11 season Trabzonspor finished runners-up to Fenerbahçe having achieved the same number of points, although Fenerbahçe won the title on goal difference.^[6] After the title was given to Fenerbahçe, in the summer of 2011, the season became the subject of a match fixing scandal. On 25 June 2013, UEFA banned Fenerbahçe and Be?ikta? from European competitions over match-fixing.^[7] However, both clubs were later acquitted by Turkish courts and the title remained with Fenerbahçe. Trabzonspor made several attempts to reclaim the title with appeals to FIFA, UEFA and CAS. On 26 March 2014, Gianni Infantino confirmed that no further punishment would be given to the clubs.^[8]

Crest and colours

Trabzonspor uses the team logo, which has the abbreviation of its name, composed of the letter "TS" in blue with a combined font on a burgundy background.^[9]

Although a number of theories have been put forward as to why the club colours of Trabzonspor are claret and blue, it has been claimed that they were adopted after the club were sent a set of kits by the English club Aston Villa after their formation in 1967.^[10]
