History edit
Founded in 1921 as "Associação Athletica São Paulo Alpargatas", the name of the company where most of the team's players worked (São Paulo Alpargatas), and, in 1932, chose to change its name to "Club Athletico Albion", and acted as such until 1936, when the club abandoned the Campeonato Paulista during the dispute and was dissolved.
Their colors were red, blue and white. His main uniform was tricolor with narrow parallel vertical stripes, white shorts. It is currently extinct.[1]
