[edit] Origin and colours
Rampla Juniors were founded in the Aduana area,(also the birthplace of River Plate FC),then moved first to the Aguada neighbourhood,and finally,around 1920,to the Cerro neighborhood. Their colours are taken from Fortaleza,a club that existed in the early years of Rampla's stint in the cerro area. Another story is similar to how Boca Juniors supposedly got the idea for their kit colors from a Swedish flag on a ship;It is rumored that Rampla's founders took the red and green from an Italian flag on ship that arrived in Montevideo Bay. It is said that the basketball team C.A Aguada (founded in 1922) took their colours from Rampla Juniors.
Rampla Juniors's archrivals are CA Cerro, and as such, the second biggest rivalry in the country.
