The Gunners?
Reason: the original Arsenal team were munitions workers at Woolwich Arsenal in south east London.

Red is the second most popular colour in British football.

Red is viewed by experts as the most conspicuous of all colours, especially at a distance. Tests have shown that exposure to the colour red can raise blood pressure and increase aggression.

Red is supposed to denote desire, intensity and the will to win.

Arsenal Ladies were formed in 1987 as part of Arsenal Football Club's effort to increase their role in the local community.

The team have several internationals in their squad and there are hopes to sign more from countries such as Australia, Japan and Nigeria. The captain of the side, Sian Williams, is also manager of the Welsh women's football team.
