The Canaries
The Robins
The Tractor Boys

Answer
The "Tractor Boys" moniker for Ipswich Town Football Club originated from the town's historical association with the agricultural machinery industry. Ipswich, particularly its surrounding region of Suffolk, has long been a hub for agricultural engineering, with companies like Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies and later Claas UK playing significant roles in the industry. The nickname pays homage to the town's industrial heritage and its strong ties to the farming community.
