Because the club colours are black and orange stripes (aka amber and black).
In The Beginning....
1909-10 was the nearest the Tigers – a nickname adopted from their amber and black striped shirts – had ever been to top-flight football until the historic achievement at Wembley almost 100 years later. They finished in third place back in 1910, missing out on the runners-up spot on goal average to Oldham Athletic after losing 3-0 away to the Latics on the last Saturday of the season. The gap between City and Oldham was 0.29 of a goal, one of the slimmest margins to determine promotion in the history of the Football League.
