New Home Kits - 2021/22

[C0YS]

Looks very similar to the 17/18(?) kit. Without the shield around the crest

I mean it looks as much as that kit as the vast majority of tottenham kits. Namely mostly white. However 17/18 had a blue trim and very different collar design, arguably it’s more similar to 2019/20 because of a v neck. By far the most similar kit to this design is the 1959-1962 kit (v neck, all white and even similar sleeve design) and it’s clearly drawn inspiration from that kit. Out of modern kits the shirt is very similar to 2007/08, though that was all white, while this one will replicate the 1961 colour scheme.

It does make you wonder about the kit designs, cos there are some truly amazing knock-ups about which would be beautiful kits. I disagree that going camo/yellow flash/blue shoulders/weird collar one year, to a completely plain white shirt the next, is a good plan. The plan A every year should be to make the nicest kit possible using the right colours, yes change is needed, but not this flip flop end to end nonsense.

The problem is that the nicest possible kit is an incredibly subjective opinion. No kit manufacturer can win. It’s an impossibility. To please the most people and to be able to justify purchases through difference you need to diversify, and maybe you can argue it’s not ideally the right thing to do (Id rather change kits every three years or so personally, and I also believe white shirts naturally lend themselves to minimalistic designs) but it makes sense financially.

You can see in these threads.
We put out a minimalistic design and people say they won't pay £60 for a white t-shirt.
We then bring out a design with more going on and we have others complaining that it's not a traditional top.

Rotating between those options means they can get a design that 1 group likes, and then the other group.

Yeah, totally, I get that, but just a quick google brings up some lovely designs that are each different enough to pass as home kits for the next 4-5 years or so. I know it’s primarily only two colours to work with, but a bit of classy invention can make those seem very different, and still very saleable to the majority of fans. I wouldn’t even buy this year home kit for my kids, let alone myself. Last season I bought my boy the whole home kit, and myself the away shirt (although crap material!), only the £‘s stopped it there to be fair. I think consistency is key, not go all out mental then all out zilch. I take your point, but this is just my view on it. ??

Welcome to politics.

I would post the pics of the ones I like, but I’m not sure what the copyright would be etc, they’re easy enough to find tho.

I’ve seen some good mock designs, some of them not to dissimilar from what Nike regularly produce, but there is a lot of really poor stuff too, but more than that you’d have the same problems I don’t see any design that would create a broad consensus of support and the best concept kits I’ve found are remarkably similar to the 2017/18 kit, but that’s because I like the kit, others would think it’s boring.

Ok, but we can post an article, this one from last year for mock up kits

Tottenham 2020/21 home kit: Six concept designs which are better than Nike's leak

Tottenham fans have had a look at what appears to be their home kit for next season. Earlier this week FootyHeadlines published leaked images of their new shirt but it’s fair to say some supp…

First one, I hate the sky/light blue, and would be impossible as AIA won't be happy with changing from red. But it's not a good kit in any case, and certainly not a Tottenham kit. Awful.

Second one, again with a blue AIA everything looks better, won't happen. I don't hate the design, though a lot going on. Strangely, I'd prefer the pattern to be used throughout the whole kit. It's ok, but not great.

Third one, pretty generic, that's not a bad thing, the pattern looks amateurish when compared to Nikes ones though.

Fourth is actually quite nice, and I would like to see a plain but patterned kit released at some point. Again blue AIA makes it look much better.

The last one, hard to tell, I like the look of the green one though.

These are last year examples, but there isn't a single kit out of these five that wouldn't split opinion and none of them are particularly an upgrade in quality to what Nike does, just different styles. It's fine to like alternative designs, but the quality of kits isn't the problem, it's just stylistic differences.

This years kit is bizarre, because there is too much going on and really shouldn't work, but sort of does, and for me is a credit to experimentation. We have had some truly awful busy kits in the past, normally with trying to add a third (or 4th including the sponsor) colour and trying to make bold design features. I think largely because it's hard to do much with a white shirt. But at the same time there is logic in being bold, because in 20 years time, it often is those bold kits that are remembered and often get cherished (look at the modern love for 80s kits that only a few years ago were considered terrible) and experimentation should be allowed.

The only kit I absolutely can't forgive is 2009/2010, what were they thinking? I don't think yellow should be on Spurs kits at all, even this years kit, which I like, would be better without the yellow. But if you are going to put it. Use it to highlight aspects, not smother the kit in it!

Oh...er yeah it's too 'clean' for me, craving for some accent navy somewhere, look so unfinished and fit for a pratice jersey.
Not a big fan of the V neck neither.

But if it's authentic, will still prefer it to this year's any time.

Ive actually not seen those ones, but yeah, it’s the internet, there’s gonna be loads of tosh. And you’re right, a lot of them go with a blue AIA logo, which obv has to be ignored as it’s not happening.

This years shirt is made much worse
(Still would be bad though!) by the camo stuff. You can’t really do camo on a bright white shirt, they’d have been better putting that on the green kit and leaving the home shirt plain white imo. And yeah, just way too much going on, awful shirt.

My favorite shirt is still this one View attachment 83827

This is such a popuar shirt among fans but it's one of my least favourite. Hate the collar. The only time I think it looked good was when it was photoshopped onto Bale in the promotion.

As for the new one, I think it will look quality as a kit, especially if the shorts and socks are as plain as possible. Would give it a real classic vibe.

A white shirt, what's not to like?

My parents got me the green one for my birthday the other week. Its a nice shirt but weird getting one this late in the season. At least we'll wear it for the cup final so I'll have that memory with it. I bought the home one because it's unique and haven't had the home one in a while.

Have people still got a shirt this season? It's been a weird one not going out much and not going to games. I still tend to wear a shirt on matchday at home though.

Haven't bought one for the last few years. Prefer the training tops or casual t-shirts these days. Easier to wear on any given day with a pair of jeans.

Don't see myself buying a jersey again for a while unless one is too nice not to pick up.

Fair play, must've taken them fucking ages to come up with that

Look how different the pink looks on the shirt the players are wearing when watching on TV compared to in real life, it must be the TV pixeling?

It's true. Could be the material also.
