context_page_description: Hammarby IF Fotbollförening, more commonly known as Hammarby Fotboll or Hammarby, is a Swedish football club from Stockholm founded in 1915.
  The club is based at Tele2 Arena in Johanneshov but founded in the neighbouring Södermalm district of Stockholm City Centre, an area the club considers its heartland.
  Competing in Sweden's first tier, Allsvenskan, Hammarby are placed twelfth in the all-time Allsvenskan table, and has won the league once, in 2001.
  The club's colours are green and white, which is reflected in its crest and kit. Between 1918 and 1978, however, the club played in black-and-yellow striped home shirts, which since often form the club's away colors.
  It is known for its vociferous fans and for having the highest average attendance in the Nordic countries. Drawing inspiration from England, Hammarby fans introduced football chants to the Swedish terraces in 1970.
  Hammarby is one of largest football clubs in Europe in terms of the number of active players of all ages – with some 3,000 players in its organisation.
  Hammarby Fotboll is affiliated with the Stockholms Fotbollförbund.
context_section_description: When Hammarby IF founded its football club in 1915, it determined the kit to be the following: a white hat with a five-pointed green star, a white shirt with "HIF" on its chest, white shorts and black socks. Following the merger with Johanneshovs IF 1918, the club changed its football team apparel to Johanneshov's black-and-yellow striped shirts, blue shorts and black socks with yellow stripes. The first department to use the new kit was Hammarby Bandy, with the football department adopting it soon thereafter.
  In the 1960s, the club changed from blue shorts to black. When "Nacka" Skoglund rejoined the club in 1964, he donated the club a set of black shorts because he thought the team's blue shorts looked awful.
  In 1978, 60 years after the merger with Johanneshov, Hammarby changed its home colours from black and yellow to white shirts, green shorts and white socks. In 1997, the striped shirts returned, but with green and white colours, with green shorts and white socks. The yellow and black colours were retained for the away and third kits. Since 1997, only a few exceptions have been made to the green-and-white-striped home and the black-and-yellow-striped away shirts: In 2002 and 2014–2016, the team wore all-white jerseys, and in 2011 the team wore an all-grey away kit.
  Craft is Hammarby's kit manufacturer. Also visible on the club's kit, in 2020, were the logos of the following sponsors: Jobman, a workwear company; automakers Volkswagen; sporting-goods retailer Intersport; pawnbroker Sefina pantbank; cruiseferry operator Silja Line; BST, a transportation company; Grönsakshuet, a vegetable and fruit company; Fronta, a professional-merchandise company; Clinton, a construction measurement company; and league sponsors Unibet, a gambling company (whose logo is on the right sleeve of the shirts of all Allsvenskan teams).
