Oh I'm not saying it absolutely has to be blue by any means. It just obviously shouldn't be red.
I'm saying it should be navy blue. Nobody will listen but i'm saying it.

This is exactly the situation. All big brands have usage guidelines for all their different branding elemnts including their pantone colours and where and when different versions of the logo get used (amongst other things). The majority have a version of the logo (usually full colour) which is the primary choice and is usually for use on a white background (and occasionally a specific single colour background). Then they have a secondary version which is usually white for use on colour backgrounds and pictures. Many brands will alow the white (monochrome) version to be coloured a single colour dependent upon context, but not always. So we'll always find brands are less compromising about the way their logo is used on our white shirt, because they work very hard to maintain brand strength and avoid any form of dilution. A really good example of this in the real world is Coca Cola. They began to use a huge range of colours on cans for different versions (diet, zero, life etc.) They quickly decided that Coke is red, which is why you now see cans which are about 80% red and the remainder with the colours for each version.The reason it changes so freely on the other kits is that a brands primary colour, unless white, is more than likely always going to look right and work well on a white background. As soon as you change the background, you're likely to get an alt version of the logo.
One of the drawbacks of having a white home kit.

Looking at all of the leaked and confirmed Nike kits for 18/19, I'm pretty sure that the leaked images of our kits is the real deal. The patterns looks the same on Roma, CFC, Barcelona, PSG, Man City

Hmm, not sure this is right - none of the 5 teams you mention have the line pattern at the bottom of their shirts, so I'm not sure we can say they're indicative of what we'll be getting. All evidence suggests we will have that line pattern. In fact, I can't see another Nike shirt with the same pattern, although I may just have missed it.

I actually like Yellow being involved in our away kits, old fashioned as Yellow with navy shorts was the main when I 1st started going
So you either started going in the early 70’s or early 2000’s... I guess going by your user name it was the former.

I think there's an on-going misunderstanding about our historical yellow away kits.
Yellow is not a traditional Spurs colour. Rather, yellow is a traditional colour for away shirts in general. Many, many teams have had a yellow away shirt over the years - I can recall Arse, Manyoo and Liverpool all having it at various stages. This was particularly true back in the days before your teals and turquoises and brown & golds were a thing in football shirts. (You can see Arse's away yellows over the years here: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Arsenal/Arsenal-change-kits.html The colour has extra meaning to them also because they won the title at Anfield in 1989 wearing yellow.)
I presume yellow became the default generic away colour because it didn't clash with reds, whites and blues. Sort of worked against anyone. As such, it's not correct to say Spurs have any particular emotional/historical connection to the colour.
I'm very anti Nike. Always have been. Can't help it, just not a fan of them full stop. Had a pair of runners years ago, and fell apart after 6 months wear, without running!
Still love my Umbro 94 kit. Wish i had the Adidas gear to be honest. Everything I have has 3 stripes. Considering the dearth of Adidas in London i hope we end up back there.
