Err, lads...?
Next season's third kit is both our best and worst ever kit at the same time.
This is wild.
That’s disgusting, I’ll buy it.
My fantasy: they also go for the new stadium naming rights, the AIA sponsorship finishes, and we get a clean shirt along the lines of this...
...ahem, I was joking...
I've said it before on here somewhere, but I still think we could do a lot worse than tying up a 3-Way-Multi-Company Super deal... I bet it's never been done before in the 'stadium naming rights world', but it could be incredible if we could specifically get THESE THREE companies involved;
...just imagine; THE "LANE HART WHITE" STADIUM!!
....oh, no hang on...
The bad blood in the boardroom between Chavs and Levy is remarkable.
Willian, Oscar, et al.
Spurs building a new stadium?
Chavs try to get Wembley locked down for 4 seasons, even though their own stadium is stuck in development hell.
Spurs in a title fight, looking the strongest club for next season, new shit sponsor + kit maker coming at an opportune time, with promising negotiations from Nike.
Chavs respond with a league collapse, finishing their lowest in decades (how long???) but do an end run around Spurs by canceling their kit deal YEARS in advance and opening talks with Nike.
That club is such a fucking disgrace, from top to bottom.

I wouldn't mind what religion my child chose, but if they came home in a Woolwich or Chelsea shirt I'd be chasing them out of the house with a baseball bat and - even worse than that - bloody well unfollowing them on Twitter.
This is rumoured to be the colour of the third, if correct it's a fucking liberty, fucking navy blue away and purple third
Tottenham Hotspur and AIA Extend Official Partnership Until 2022 25 May 2017 - News - tottenhamhotspur.com
Tottenham Hotspur today (Thursday 25 May) announced an agreement with AIA Group Limited (AIA), one of the world's leading providers of insurance services, to extend their Official Partnership until the end of season 2021/2022.
AIA and Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a successful strategic partnership since the start of the 2013/2014 season, originally as the Club’s Cup Shirt Partner before becoming Official Shirt Partner in all competitions the following year. This new agreement will now see AIA recognised as a Global Principal Partner and the AIA brand will appear on the front of the Club's shirt until 2022 - representing almost a decade together as partners.
The announcement comes during the Club’s post-season tour to Hong Kong, home to AIA Group’s Headquarters and a key market for the AIA brand and business. A series of joint activities have taken place this week to celebrate the extended partnership and culminates in the match against Kitchee SC on Friday 26th May in the iconic Hong Kong National Stadium.
This long-term relationship goes beyond the pitch and reflects the shared commitment of the Club and AIA in promoting the role of sport in Asia-Pacific as a key element of healthy living.
A host of joint activations have taken place across Asia since 2013 with club ambassadors such as Ledley King and Ossie Ardiles regularly making trips to the region, as well as the Club's Global Coaching team who have delivered a raft of coaching programs and associated activities, all focused towards promoting health and well-being in the local communities in which AIA operates.
This latest agreement will now see even more work being done collectively between the two organisations in Asia, specifically with club coaches being permanently placed in Hong Kong to lead on AIA's football and healthy living programmes in its 18 Asian markets.
Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy said: "This new long-term agreement demonstrates the strength of our relationship with AIA and underlines just how much we both value this partnership. The renewed partnership comes at a significant time in the Club's history with a new world-class stadium currently under construction. We shall be proud to wear the AIA name on our shirts when we walk out on to that pitch for the first time. We look forward to continuing to work closely with AIA in the coming years as we look to further support the objectives of both organisations in the Asia-Pacific region."
Ng Keng Hooi, AIA Group Chief Executive & President Designate, commented: “Spurs has an enormous following in Asia, with its fans rewarded by the great progress the team has made on the pitch in recent years. I am delighted we are extending our partnership at such an exciting time in AIA’s history as we continue to grow, guided by our vision to be the pre-eminent life insurer in the world. Expanding our partnership with Spurs will enable more frequent and innovative activities for our customers, agents, employees, as well as others in our local communities, to interact with the Spurs players, coaching and support staff on the ground in Asia. We look forward with great anticipation to our shared success on and off the field over the coming years as we continue to help our customers live longer, healthier, better lives.”
More Red until 2022, hopefully we use the logo used at the top not just the initials
I would much prefer a navy logo (or any colour but red) but I never really understood the whole 'Never Red' campaign myself, seeing as we actually had a red kit from 1890-95. I think someone didn't do their research...
But everything was in black and white back then so it didn't really matter.
Fucking hideous.....that is horrendous. When did these people start to believe they could reinvent the wheel....or in this case, a white t shirt?
I thought these were professional designers. Didnt anyone at Nike see it was SHIT before they okayed it?

Yes.
But also maybe not.
The kits look so shit though...
ochfacepalm:
Ah, but you know the old saying "Shit kit in July, League title in May"?
Nah, me neither but I'm hoping it catches on.
:townhmm:
It's a graphic designer's concept, I quite like it tbh
It's from this article, which has other designs too (for those who are interested)

> That design by someone who obviously isn't a Spurs fam (a red crest?!)
Star above the cockIf we got to the CL final and somehow, magically, managed to win the damn thing, Spurs would make an absolute fortune out of selling 'Champions' 18/19 home shirts with a star above the cock.
No way would Levy bring out the new home kit when that's even a remote possibility.
First tattoo sorted
I'm absolutely baffled why we've not released the new kit yet, and why we're announcing signings holding the old shirt. If you don't have a current shirt available, just don't bother with the shirt at all. Go with a scarf or something. It seems so shoddy
Seriously, have you not seen the previous 328 pages?
