Which English football team is nicknamed 'The Foxes'?
Leicester City Football Club is a professional football club based in Leicester in the East Midlands, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the highest level of England's football league system, and plays its home matches at the King Power Stadium.
The club's home colours of royal blue shirts, white shorts, and either white or royal blue socks have been used for the team's kits throughout most of its history. "The Foxes" is the most common nickname for the club, and an image of a fox was first incorporated into the club crest in 1948, as Leicestershire is known for foxes and fox hunting. This is the origin of the nickname "The Foxes".
Since 1992, the club's badge has featured a fox's head overlaid onto a Cinquefoil; the Cinquefoil is similar to the one used on the coat of arms of Leicester. Like many other football clubs, Leicester have a club mascot who is a character called "Filbert Fox."
Leicester won the 2015–16 Premier League, their first top tier title, becoming one of seven clubs to have won the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
