The Emirates FA Cup website explains: "The iconic look of the competition’s current trophy was first designed and manufactured by Bradford jewellers Fattorini and Sons, with the original version competed for between 1911 and 1993.
"That piece of silverware was made in time for the 1911 Final, which Bradford City coincidentally won by defeating Newcastle United 1-0 after a replay, and this remains the club’s only major honour."
Ties in the 1st Round will be played between Friday, November 1Â and Monday, November 4.
