Three years later the Canaries joined the Southern League, where they remained until 1920 when they joined the Football League as founder members of Division Three (South). The Canaries nickname is a reference to the once-popular regional pastime of breeding canaries. The club's colors are a tribute to the green and yellow canary. Norwich City's emblem features the ever-present canary as well as the city of Norwich's 11th century castle guarded by a lion.
