The History Home of Atletico Madrid 1911 First Name, Athletic Club of Madrid, demonstrated the original idea of the founders, Basque students who wanted to create a branch of the sports club, the Bilbao team. The original uniform, as a result, was the same: the shirts are divided in half in blue-white-blue trousers, the uniform was bought from the English team Blackburn Rovers. The exchange took place in 1911, when the envoy of the two track and field federations, traveling to England, could not find Blackburn's uniform and decided to bring them from Sunderland: shirts with red and white vertical stripes and black trousers. The club's first badge in 1903. The new model has been used entirely by Athletic Bilbao since then. Madrid, meanwhile, kept Blackburn's blue shorts, causing differences in the form of the two clubs that went on to receive the nickname rojiblancos. The branch, however, will soon get its own nickname: since some of the popular mattresses of the time were covered with layers of alvirrubra and most of the fan magrilenos were workers, he soon gave the nickname colchoneros. The first form of the team, alviazul, sometimes serves as the basis for the secondary form used by the club. Athletic Madrid, unlike another team in the city - which officially earned the nickname royalty and was renamed Real Madrid, began to receive support from the working classes, whose villas were concentrated in the area of the first stadium, The Rhonda de Vallecas. In 1923, with the already independent administration of Athletic Bilbao, he moved to the Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid. In the 1920s, Atletico won the Spanish league three times, and in 1926 finished second in the Copa del Rey. Thus, he was invited to take part in the first edition of the Spanish championship, which will take place in the season 1928/29. The second edition of the championship, however, was eventually relegated. He returned in 1934, and endured another fall two years On the other hand, he saw his rival receive trophies: Madrid (who lost the nickname Real Madrid during the Second Spanish Republic was a two-time Champion of Spain in 1932 and 1933 and took the President's Cup (as the Copa del Rey in the Republican period became known) in 1936, the year of Atletico's second relegation. After the conflict, the club surfaced with unusual names - merged with Aviaci'n Nacional, a team of Saragos linked to the Spanish aeronautics, and became sporting Aviaci'n de Madrid. , Aviaci'n finished the champion for the first time. And it will equal the rival team next year, winning the bi. In the same year, the second title was banned by decree of spanish President Francisco Franco, the general who had won the Civil War, from the official use of the non-castilic language in Spanish territory. The name in English was changed to Atletico Aviasion Madrid. As Real Madrid fell more and more, Atletico evolved. After the end of communication with the Air Force in 1947, the name of the club underwent a new change: Atletico Madrid, which is maintained to this day. That same year, the Rojiblancos got their biggest win over Real Madrid, 5-0. After nine years in the post, Atletico won their third Spanish title in 1950, with a new bi the following year. The team was then the second biggest winner in the Spanish league - four titles, along with Barcelona, just one behind Atletico Bilbao. The departure of coach Helenio Herrera ended the team's stagnation - Barcelona will go ahead with two titles in a row. The worst for the rojiblanca crowd, however, is yet to come. Having lost his local hegemony and first continental title for Atletico Madrid, Vave made the most successful career in European football among brazilians who played in the final of the 1958 World Cup. In the 1953/54 season, Real Madrid will return to the League under the strengthening of Argentine Alfredo di Stefano. La Saeta Rubia will lead Real Madrid to bi later, equal achievements of Atletico. A decade followed with the Argentine captain Real Madrid's five consecutive wins in the first editions of the UEFA Champions Cup. Moreover, the South American stirred up the rivalry: the Blanco club began to develop more rivalry, mutually, with Barcelona, against which he continued to play national hegemony in a decade. In 1957 Real Madrid won its fifth Spanish title, and the sixth will come in Barcelona responded with their seventh and eighth titles in 1959 and 1960. Within distance of both, Atletico saw Real Madrid change five Spanish titles in the early 1960s. The departure was to devote itself to the World Cup, the new name of the Cup do Rey: the titles in the tournament came in 1960 (the first Atletico in the competition), 1961 and 1965. The first two were won over Real Madrid, with rojiblancos counting on the first Brazilian at the club, Vave. With the 1961 title, the club was able to compete in the European Cup, a competition that arose between the winners of the European national cups and the prestigious as the second European interclub tournament in importance. Atletico won the 1962 edition, their first continental trophy. The achievement marked a farewell to idol Joaquin Peyre - the Italians from Turin watched them in the final against Fiorentina, in which he scored two goals and hired him. The resumption of achievements in Spain and the world title Atletico interrupted the Real Spanish title sequence in 1966, winning the League for the fifth time and already having three idols: Adelardo, Luis Aragon and Jose Ufare. This, Galician grew up in Brazil, where he defended the Corinthians and Flamengo under the nickname Spanish. However, the opponent overshadowed the achievement by winning his sixth Champions Cup title. Atletico's first appearance in the tournament, in the 1966-67 season, ended with an early elimination in the second round, against The Yugoslavs Vojvodina Novi Sad. 1966 also marked the transition to a new stadium, which was named after the president at the time: Vicente Calderon.
