From 1920 to 1939 and from 1945 until 1965, it was named Naprzód Lipiny; in 1939–1945, during German occupation – Turn und Sportverein (TuS) Lipine.

In 1965–1969 – Naprzód-Czarni Świętochłowice (after a merge of clubs Naprzód Lipiny and Czarni Chropaczów).

Also, Naprzód's own Rochus Nastula was one of the best scorers of the league while representing Czarni Lwów in the late 1920s.

During the Second World War, German occupiers changed club's name to Turn und Sportverein (TuS) Lipine.

Twice Lipiny's side was very close to winning promotion to First Division, however referees and soccer authorities did not like Naprzod and in mysterious circumstances, teams of Arkonia Szczecin and Gwardia Waraw finished games in front of it.
