All this talk about the AIA shirt sponsorship in relation to the stadium seems a bit misguided to me. We can be much more rational and less emotive about it by considering what we know...

I'd say there's almost no chance of it changing during the length of the AIA deal. There's some clear pointers to this.

1. Levy signed the latest AIA deal with the stadium well underway; that is to say that conversations with potential stadium naming rights partners were also well underway. It seems very likely to me that his conversations will have suggested that the price difference between including shirt sponsorship and not including it was not sufficiently large. i.e. separating the two probably yields a greater overall figure than a combined deal. In short, he wouldn't have signed the extension with AIA if potential stadium naming rights partnerships (or their value) were hinging on having the shirt space too. We still had a year or two left on the deal before we extended it, so that wasn't a necessity at the time, neither was the length of the extension all the way to 2022.

2. On top of the above, having signed the AIA deal, it's likely that he/we would now have to pay to exit the deal (you really believe AIA would be willing to pay us a big lump every year and then accept a break clause in our favour, with no benefit to them, just because we found something better?!). As a result the value to us (on top of simple stadium naming rights) would have to be greater than the AIA plus the cost of exiting that arrangement. That seems even more unlikely.

3. Levy has pointedly told us (as fans) the reason we don't have a sleeve sponsor. Sadly, it's not some virtuous mission to keep the shirt looking clean (although I do love that we don't have one). Levy said that there won't be a sleeve sponsor until the naming rights deal is done. Strongly implying that the sleeve sponsorship will be tied in with the stadium naming rights, not the main shirt sponsorship.

it's been nearly 2 years since we signed the extension, and since that extension we haven't signed a namings right. in that time there is a chance we have been contacted and asked the possibility

Just had the e-mail from Nike about new kits being available:

What stands out to me is that there isn't a common look to any of them. They all have their differences both in collar types and when you compare Atletico and Inter - both striped - there is a clear difference between those. Chelsea's, besides being a bit grim, is very much unique compared with Roma's, which I personally rather like.

It feels like Nike have woken up to the template criticism somewhat which bodes well for what we'll get on 1st July.

Equally, pay no attention to PNE's kit. I would imagine that they buy their kits from a catalogue of templates which are then personalised with their badges and sponsors. I very much doubt they would have a dedicated design team like we do.

All except Atletico have the collar that was on the leaked kit a few days ago with the navy collar and arm bands. Starting to think this may be the one. 1F6A4269-F603-48F0-9818-55A39ACD3B78.jpeg

I think you could be right.

I don't mind that kit, it needs something more IMO plus the only thing I do notice is that isn't the Nike badge meant to actually have the word "Nike" under the tick, this season?

I think this might be a convincing knock-off of the real thing.

I still don't think we will have the text on the inside, and it will be just like the other kits.

Actually I think the player versions will have the stripe down the back, then like on the Roma/Inter/Atletico there will be a design to the left.

Stadium shirt will have it in the middle?

Cheers. I would expect we will have the text like that again rather than the to dare text.
This season it was the co-ordinates of the stadium, I guess to coincide with our return to Tottenham. All the other kits (Atletico, etc.) have more of a design. I reckon that shirt is the real one.

Is this not a chinese knock off of a fan made mock up (there's a red and blue "away" doing the rounds too). Don't believe this is real as the Nike logo on the bottom right of the shirt is round this year (judging by already announced Nike kits) that square one is last year

Which is what makes me think the Navy/Purple one is genuine

All about checking those small details ;)

I just keep coming back to this one; hope it's real.

The website that published the kit in the second link stated themselves that it was a MOCK UP of what a kit COULD look like after that badge leak....

But i agree it's a nice one.. :)
