It could be orange with green polka dots and it'd still be less horrific than that nightmare on display at Arsenal this season. :eek: :D

Absolutely diabolical. We are Spurs not Blackburn/Newcastle/Fulham. We play in white, blue or yellow and we have occasionally thrown in a similar colour like purple or gold.

Historically and culturally it is wrong and though most football shirts are a bit naff I'd always taken pride that we consistently produced the most aesthetic kits in the top division. But this one is a howler. White, charcoal-ish squares and then a bright yellow trim on the sleeve. Who the bleep signed off the order ?

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG :devil:


Historically the third kit for us is a relatively new concept that came in when we had the Kappa Shirts (so 2000 ish?)
Since Puma took over doing our shirts in 2006 they have given us a diffrent style of third kit to what we have had before.

The chocolate brown kit, the black kit's. So you could say that there is a tradition of our 3rd kit is to be something diffrent to what we have been use to before.

Or we can look further back in our history to see our kits have included both horizontal and vertical stripes, and the half and half like we have in this seasons 3rd kit and our 125th anniversary kit.

Don't mind it at all. It's a third kit after all. QPR and Wigan away and that's the last we'll see of it.

Wasnt sure at first, but I actually like it. Third kit is always going to change style, as long as the home is kept White not to bothered about the away and 3rd kits.

I hated it when I first saw the leaked picture of it, but having seen it in the club store the other day in person it actually looks quite nice. Pleasantly surprised.

It's grown on me, wasn't sure at first but after seeing it in flesh or cloth I definitely prefer it to sky blue that was sh.

It's okay but nothing I would buy. It's better than some of those all yellows:)

I believe that Brown/Yellow from Berbativ's time was our best 3rd kit ever and it stems from a 1901 away kit so has historical linkage.

We also had one that was orange and black, so I would love to see a retro jersey honoring that as I love orange. However, Nike is the king of orange. And we have done some black white stripe kits as specials in the past, so a black white vertical would be neat.

home should be white
away blue or blue with white vertical stripes or blue with yellow secondary (that 99-00 Holsten was a great kit)
third chocolate with yellow secondary. Or I would be really cool with starting a strong orange third.

So far our forays into a light blue, all yellow or purple kit, have been poor to average. There's a potential with that purple, especially if we went with white sleeves or something like that, but I think that tends to be a sore area as Arsenal do the sleeve thing. But I will concede red (as it's not a great color anyway) but sleeves shouldn't be a taboo.

I actually like it, but would prefer a purple or yellow third kit.

I thought the away kit looked ok until I saw the back of it. The home shirt is alright but in terms of the whole kit I'm not a fan of all-white. I mean the kit - not Barrymore.

So if we introduce a 4th kit it's ok to be red shirt, white sleeves, shorts because we don't normally have one. I didn't like the black or chocolate kits. The 125 kit was blue and white and the stripes were so long ago there are very few fans still alive who ever saw us play in them

We've actually worn red more than a few times. It seemed to be used before the 20's. It's seems so odd.

I really like it, even the yellow trim. These are the best kits we've had for ages, I don't normally buy the shirt but I might get the home and third kit this year with King 26 on the back of both as a memento.

As long as we keep the home and away kits fairly traditional, I'm open to experimentation with the third. It's not like we wear it that often anyway.

I want the kit man sacked.

Whoever you are, Mr KITMAN OUT!

Travesty. Call the fashion police.

Really, really like it. It makes us look a bit mean, too. Which makes a change from the yellow and light blue...


I can't believe so many people liked that god awful chocolate and gold kit we had 6 years ago, but dislike this.

I like it, i think it's a bit different and looks quite nice. I would like to see that lovely brown and gold 3rd kit from a few years ago, that was a thing of beauty!

I like it, but I think I would have preferred the grey to be yellow, with black shorts and yellow socks. Thus a merger of old and new sort of thing.

Would be great if some really nice person could do a mock up, as I am crap and useless on photoshop.
