And this.

Which are exactly the same as the shots of all the other Nike kits, which have been released and proven to be exactly correct.

So while I haven’t touched it. It’s fair to say I know what it looks like
Just really hate the bottom of the collar, it is to then and goes out of shape unless you have a huge pumped up chest! Same as last years shirt. I am a skinny guy and it just hangs down and looks stupid on me. Hope crouch doesn’t have to wear a Nike shirt this year?

Or we have a special CL shirt for our new stadium. I'm sure we've done similar before for European matches. but I may be wrong.

2 different sponsors for that season. Investec are Aurisma iirc

Yes you might be right there..... but who's to say DL won't see it as a way to raise extra revenue.
Putting "The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium" under the club badge, would raise significant revenue if these were for sale.
I know I would if I were he.

Shame we can’t have Adidas kits. The German and even the Mexico kits are good.

Yep, the German shirt is really smart. Love the Peru shirt also.

A bit of clever creativity on a shirt can really make a classic design.

Sorry to the plain white T crowd.

Our 18/19 leaks have tried to add something different but they just look a bit clumsy.

Is it true the shield on our badge this season was to protect the cockerel while we were away from home? My dad better be on a wind up.

There was talk of that and this is from the Tottenham website

For one season only, the Tottenham Hotspur crest – comprising the famous cockerel motif atop a football – has been enclosed in a shield design. The 2017-18 crest nods to one of our finest achievements, becoming the first club in the modern era to win both the Football League First Division and FA Cup in the 1960-61 season.


In that era the team’s shirts were embellished with a shield-style crest and, with legendary manager Bill Nicholson at the helm, the Club sealed an historic league and cup double with an FA Cup Final win at Wembley Stadium. As we return to the national stadium – this time for a full season while our state-of-the-art new home is being constructed in Tottenham – the shield makes its comeback, harking back to a crowning moment in the Club’s past and serving as a reminder to the 2017-18 generation that history is ours to be written.

I know what they've said about all that, but like so many things, it could well have been a manufacturing led decision rather than a concept or design led decision with an explanation conceived afterwards. Nike don't do embroidered badges on shirts, they do patches (sewn on for the cheaper shirts, transferred on for the elite ones), it's true of every Nike shirt. It could have been something as simple as a cockerel patch being too difficult to design and produce in the short time after agreeing the contract and there needing to be a cheaper/quicker solution.

Of course it is possible that some bright spark had that idea and that they managed to sell that to the club, but all too often a decision which is cost led (or down to another practical issue) later gets advertised as being down to something else to make everyone happy. It's simple marketing!

They applied the cockerel to all the training wear, so it wasn’t that they couldn’t. The shield was a conscious design decision.

Plus the deal with Nike was done waaaay before it was announced.

Applying the cockerel as a patch, rather than embroidering it like UA/Puma/Kappa/Adidas used to, looks - and no doubt is - very cheap. Having the 'shield' at least disguised it a little
