I cant remember a Spurs home kit I've ever liked, they are either boring as fuck or the designer has tried to make a white shirt interesting and just done weird shit with it.
I offered to buy my 12 year old son one of the shirts today and he said he will give it a miss this year?

The 2006-07 brown shirt was a third kit. As I've said countless times: 3rd kit = do what you want; it could be pink (or Ars*nal red) for all I care. The issue I have with our away shirt isn't that it's ugly, design-wise (far from it- it's actually beautiful) but that- as a purist- I prefer the simple formula of: White/home, Navy blue/away and Whatever-the-fuck-you-want-to-trot-out/third.
The green kit particularly annoys me because it's the kit I've been waiting all my (AIA-sponsored) life for- just in the completely wrong color; indeed, if they magically changed the green to navy blue you'd have what I would consider to be the ultimate Spurs away top. I would literally buy back-ups to my back-ups were that kit in navy blue. But it's not- it's in green. Green simply is not a Tottenham color, period. Again: had the green one been our third shirt I wouldn't have minded it at all, as the third strip is basically a novelty item anyway.
But getting back to the home: dude- seriously- look at that fucking shirt. Imagine Real Madrid- or Hell, Man City- in a home shirt so hideous. It would simply never happen- at least not nowadays- because those teams (just to use them as examples) protect their brand. Particularly Real Madrid: the formula for a Real Madrid home shirt is: home white/classic/beautiful/classic/streamlined/classic. These days you would sooner see a Dodo bird flying over your head than see a "big" team sporting a shite home kit.
Look, every team has hideous kits- but, again, the big clubs almost never produce a hideous HOME shirt; nowadays, the bigger clubs pretty much always make sure that their most-worn kit is at the very least "solid," if not spectacular. Spurs, however, are almost like a semi-"big" club that- because of our not-yet-fully-"big"-status- are seemingly the one club that kit designers get to "experiment" on. Basically when it comes to how we look, as a club we just don't seem to give a fuck- or at least that's how it appears. Next year's home shirt is a monstrosity, and there's no way around that. It is objectively awful, and I'm willing to bet you actually agree with me on that.

With apologies to the bard...
What's in an ordinal number? That which we call next season's third kit by any other number would look as traditional yellow.
In recent seasons, the third kit has often been worn more often than the second. My bet is that, regardless the number it has been allocated next season, the yellow kit will be more often worn than the green.
Be that as it may, the home shirt is still a proverbial shitstain on Tottenham's brand new white underwear.

Spurs would’ve been my 36th guess, too!

It shows it like that but it comes normal size.

They are definitely a step up in quality, the material is more breathable etc. Whether they are worth the money or not is another question...

I actually don’t hate the home shirt as much as I thought I would...
