While i love the kits, the pricing of kits and training wear is a piss take.You can pick a pair of the training pants up at various outlets for 24.99, they stick a Spurs badge on and charge £54.99.Madness

Bold statement but these are probably my favourite set of kits since supporting Spurs, really really like how they look.

Not even gonna get the toddler kits. Prices are crazy. Missed a trick Spurs. This is the next generation of the club we're talking about. The membership scheme for toddlers is good value to be fair. Should follow that model.

No way can I afford those prices or justify paying that amount if I could.

I think I have an answer for why we'll have a shield... and why it's probably not going away for the entirety of our Nike kit deal...

Think of other Nike clubs or even countries... Man City, Chelsea, England, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Malaga etc...

All their badges come in shield form, they can effectively be mass produced and stitched on like patches. Our badge isn't quote so friendly that way and has to be embroidered. I suspect Nike won't embroider it, for whatever reason (COST) and find it easier and cheaper to mass produce shirts with a simple stitch pattern. Therefore, we end up with a shield, to allow it to be stitched to the shirt easily. It occurred to me when I looked at the shield on the image above and it was apparent that the cockerel wasn't embossed, it is flat to the shield, meaning no embroidery required.

It's probably as a result of Nike developing a process and production line which suits the fact that they've always had clubs with shield motifs (Arsenal and Man Utd before in England for example)

So, yeah, It's almost certainly not about history, design or any other fanciful notion... it's a money thing, pure and simple and if Nike are paying us a bucketload to produce our shirts for us then we just have to accept it's their way or the highway!

Oh and as a side note, I don't mind the idea of having a shield, I just really do not like the shape of the one on the recently leaked shirt. Much prefer the idea of something more closely related to the 60s style.

*cough*
so much for that elaborate theory

For one season only, the Tottenham Hotspur crest – comprising the famous cockerel motif atop a football – has been enclosed in a shield design

I assumed the home kit was the same price as the away. Fuck me that's actually mental.

Why are we always wearing white shorts in europen cups instead of navy? It looks ok but our kit is white shirt and navy shorts. Why change it?

Tradition started by Bill Nicholson to show appreciation of Real Madrid (similar to playing in lilywhite and navy as a tribute to Preston North End).

Wow, didn't know that. However, why are we paying tribute to PNE? Piece of our history that I never heard of...

The crest is stitched on the stadium shirts which is good to see. Looks better than the elite shirts where the badge looks more stuck on.
