Birmingham City to rebrand for one match in Peaky Blinders celebration

It comes after an 'order' was issued by the Peaky Blinders

Birmingham City will rebrand as the Small Heath Alliance for one match at the weekend by order of the Peaky Blinders. The Blues' are currently using its historic moniker and will revert to its original name in celebration of its connection to the BBC drama Peaky Blinders, which is set in Small Heath, Birmingham, in the 1920s. It comes after an 'order' was issued by Peaky Blinders on their Instagram account, with Birmingham taking part in the social media rebrand. https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXGZO8A571/?utm_source=ig_embed The Championship outfit replied with: "Order accepted". Birmingham City was originally founded in 1875 as Small Health Alliance before the Blues changed its name. In the Instagram post, the Peaky Blinders account said Birmingham must demonstrate its pride of being from the "cobbled streets of Small Heath" by going back to its roots and using its previous name once again. The club has accepted the 'order' and its home ground, St Andrews, will become home to the Small Heath Alliance when they play Huddersfield Town on Saturday. https://twitter.com/BCFC/status/1496834797712379906?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1496834797712379906%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-england-birmingham-60523752 Birmingham City players will enter the pitch to the series' theme song, Red Right Hand, with Peaky Blinders-themed hoardings set to surround the pitch.
