All white in Europe only.
Anyone that says otherwise is a gooner.
Navy Blue surely?
Be interested to see that, that's exactly what I was trying to get at with this thread really.
My scarf is an original from 1990/1 season. It's the home version but has diamond yellow and yellow in the logo as well. It's the one Lineker has on here. I'm not talking about about it being the dominant colour, just like 10%, enough to differentiate us from Real Madrid or Bolton!
Aware that Woolwich have often had yellow as well, but they have had a few years without any yellow as well. Then we launched that whole 'Glory Comes In Three Colours' thing a few years back didn't we?! I'm sure yellow was one of those!!
Here is the link to the company I am on about and their profile on the work they did with Spurs:

Definitely worth reading that lots of interesting tidbits. I then felt compelled to email this company because some of it just really pissed me off. One of the co-founder's replied and I have posted below my email I sent them and the reply I got back at the top....
"Thanks very much for your email.
It’s a good question — surrounding the yellow. Football is emotive. I completely understand.
The truth is, we no longer work on the brand sadly.
In fact we stopped working with them in 2011.
It was a relatively short engagement, where we were simply brought in to help clarify things by Charlie Wijeratna.
I didn't run the account... but I understand that there was considerable consultation between both the management and the fans throughout the process.
Charlie Wijeratna was our primary contact — but as you know he's moved on, and so our involvement has also moved on.
There was no dastardly plan surrounding the colour choice. The only thing we absolutely wanted to avoid was any inclusion of Red! (for obvious reasons) — and a greater focus on what the 'brand' is famous for — the lilly white.
The majority of our work was to ramp up the use of lilly white as the primary colour... and help create a better environment both in print, online and in the stadium regarding the cohesiveness of applications.
The best brands hold one colour dear to their hearts, and of course Football Clubs are no different. But most brands are really only famous for one thing... if you try and do too much visually it rapidly becomes cluttered and complex.
I'm sorry I can't give you any further news or insight.
Hope that helps a little.
Kind regards

Hi X,
I am writing to you with regards to the article on your website: (http://www.someoneinlondon.com/category/projects/a-brandworld-for-tottenham-hotspur) about your company’s involvement with your client Tottenham Hotspur in refining their brand image.
As a Tottenham Hotspur member and lifelong supporter I was intrigued to read on your website about the decision of “dropping the colour yellow”. Gary Holt of Someone mentions it as important to “de-clutter” the spurs brand by dropping the club colour of yellow which may have been “an intrusion of graphics over brand story, which ends up forcing in more corporate colours”.
This obviously fits in with the recent changes we have seen in the clubs brand presence over that past couple of years with the almost complete removal of yellow in all things related to Tottenham Hotspur and especially the away / change strips the players wear. The latter has been something of a concern to many Tottenham supporters, not just because we have dropped our traditional yellow away kits that we’ve worn since the clubs heyday in the 1960s but the replacement of yellow as a change colour to black and grey. Two rather bland and dreay colours that do nothing to enhance our global brand presence and two colours that have nothing to do with Tottenham Hotspur whatsoever.
It may seem like a minor issue in the grand scheme of things but supporting a football club can be quite a consuming passion.
I am probably contacting the wrong people here and maybe you could help direct me to somebody at Tottenham Hotspur who I could take this issue up with, which would be greatly appreciated (I know Spurs Commercial Director Charlie Wijeratna has since left the club). But it would be nice to speak to somebody maybe from your company find out a bit more on that decision to drop the colour yellow and how much involvement the club had in that decision, whether any fan groups / fans were consulted or whether it was entirely made by your company.
Thanks.
1937...what the fucking fuck?
I like the black/Dark Blue kits as a third kit. The yellow kits are a nice away kit. Purple is meh.
I know this isn't a new thing but it irks me that Woolwich have Yellow now. Back in the day it was ours. Anyone else want it back?
I want yellow back as well, but the scum have also used yellow change kits for 60+ years.
I like the traditions of the away kit being the absolute reverse of the home hit.
That should be followed through to the 3rd kit as well (obviously a different colour) with all three having the same identical, simple design.

They're not marketable!
This season's Roma kits are that simple and appear to sell ok
I noticed that this year. Fuckin Blatter can not help but be a cunt. On par with
Thanks for posting that Clarky. Do vaguely remember it now.
Personally would just like to see us get a yellow away kit back and not be afraid to use the colour around the place - it's something I associate from when I first started going. This night is still in my memory aged about 6 (think it used to be common for home teams to play in their away kit in Europe for some reason?!) Anyhow beautiful football...
Happy with the home being white and navy. Was just looking for some pics and came across this, the streak of piss kit... to be honest had erased it from my mind. I think it must have been the next season that yellow was dropped!
Just hope its not erased completely and just to say I fucking love this flag. (someone here's?)

...what art thou, Wiccan or summit?/
...mind you, I'm a fine one to mock 'Purple' as a colour choice!!!!
lost why we have not had a yellow away kit for a few years when you consider we have 3 kits per year now
when you look at this you think why we not got a blue away and also a yellow http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Tottenham_Hotspur/Tottenham_Hotspur-change-kits.html
I'd imagine the yellows don't sell well apart from kit collectors.
