So who do we associated this kit with then?

Just seen Southamptons new kit and they are made in house. No kit supplier on the shirt and looks really nice. I am sure Tottenham could come up with a classic looking kit with input from the fans.
The side stripes also fit in with the training kit recently released so yeah probably is
So this is probbaly the third kit seeing as they got the first two right.

Would you rather a nice kit, or tens of millions of money given to the club from a shirt supplier?
Yep that's the rafa kit for me as well.I was wearing that on my Thursday night five a side.Such a great footie shirt.
The Rafa Kit :'(
I don't know for sure. Do Spurs fans in general spend hour after hour pressing F5 button during the transfer window, argue ceaselessly about whether DL is the best or worst chairman in the league, get grumpy and act like spoilt brats when there is no ITK (or worse if there is ITK we don't happen to like), etc, etc?So the Tottenham fans who post on SC and other forums aren't representative of Spurs fans in general- and what most of us see as absolutely fucking atrocious your average workaday Clive and Philippa Yiddokins will find "quite nice, actually." And I'm guessing they'll absolutely adore the "I just finished a box of Easter Peeps, and now I'm going to poop on a Spurs top and then rake the feces in a vertical stripe up through the center, taking care not to get any on the sponsor"-style shirt.
To those of you who said "everybody has different opinions when it comes to kits- you can't please everyone"- that's not true. The vast majority of people- myself included- liked last year's home and third shirts. Not everyone liked everything about them, but overall the reaction was positive.
This season's effort is fucking reviled by 90% of Tottenham fans- and I'm being conservative. I've read through threads on this subject on five different Spurs forums and the consensus is solidly, unequivocally against the putrid fucking shitjob that is this year's kit.
So in fact sorry but there actually is uniformity to things like this; indeed, most fans find these designs repulsive.
Because they are.
Ugly is ugly.
This whole thing would be funny if it weren't actually true. Our shirts look as if they were designed by a seven-year-old child during a "design a football top"-project at school, with the lone requirement being to "use all available colors."
And the fact that these shirts are supposed to honor the greatest figure in our history?!? My God, seriously, what a joke. Instead of being some kind of understated homage to the legend that is Bill Nicholson- one incorporating, say, elements from our kit circa 1962 (with its bold, clear, classic feel)- a group of Americans concocted a shirt with so many things happening on it simultaneously that it ought be named the "retro schizo."
My guess is that the UA design team was shown a bunch of black-and-white photos of Spurs teams from the early '60s and told to study them carefully, and then come up with a look that says (in full Mugatu style): "Danny-Blanchflower-finds-time-machine-then-drops-acid-and-travels-around-Asia-promoting-Tottenham-Hotspur-Football-Club-while-accompanied-by-a-merry-band-of-talking-Skittles."
To which they definitely succeeded.
This, more than anything. The kit we had in 09/10 was awful with those yellow stripes but we beat Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City to get to the CL in that kit, so I remember it fondly.At the end of the day we're here for football not fashion. If we have a good season in this kit it will be remembered fondly and if we have a bad one it will be forgotten.

I think the way we'll be playing this season will take everyone's minds off the gaudy kits.
Tell that to Dawson.I wish I lived in your world, you constantly optimistic mofo.
great season that was diminished a little by the horrendous kit
But but but butAre you serious ? We have a great season and all you're thinking at the end is 'great season but that kit takes the shine off it'. Astounding.
Bullshit was it diminished, it was a fantastic season (in the league, pretty awful in cups) and a dodgy kit does in no way diminish that.great season that was diminished a little by the horrendous kit
this year's is better than that one but terrible for the same reasons: over-designed, too many colors, yellow and white is bad. Absolutely bizarre how something like the 09/10 gets approved in the first place, then gets a loving homage in 14/15.

I don't think you realise that every season on this board for the first month or so of the season, the vast majority of posters in the kit thread hate the new kit. Go back and look at the old threads, I'm not making it up. By the time we've played a few games in it, the opinions start to change and by september nobody gives a withered bollock if there's a stripe out of place or if that certain shade of blue is too light for them to handle.
At the end of the day we're here for football not fashion. If we have a good season in this kit it will be remembered fondly and if we have a bad one it will be forgotten.

To further prove my point: I would bet any amount of money that you couldn't come up with a negative comment regarding our first "Investec" Cup shirt if you tried. There isn't a Spurs fan alive who doesn't like this shirt:
