The St. Louis National League was started in 1876.
The team was originally called the Brown Stockings, and later, simply the Browns.
In 1899, the name Browns was changed to the Perfectos -- and the team color became red.
In regards to their new color, a sportswriter heard a lady remark, "What a lovely shade of cardinal," and then used Cardinals as a nickname.
The team officially changed its name from the Perfectos to the Cardinals in 1900.
(This is summarized from the Cardinals official Web site.)
