West Ham home kit leaked

|

It that time of year when images of West Ham’s kits are invariably leaked on the Internet. With the club’s 125th-anniversary celebration planned for 2020 rumours suggest that the home kit will pay homage to West Ham retro kits of the seventies and early eighties.

The latest Internet rumours suggest the home kit will be based on the famous Admiral kit used in various variations between 1976 and 1980. A mock-up shared on social media suggests it will not have a collar and the chevrons will be slightly straighter.

At the beginning of May, West Ham and Umbro confirmed a new long-term agreement extending a five-year agreement worth £20m by a further four years although the new value of the extended contract was not revealed.

West Ham usually reveals their new kits towards the end of May and last year revealed both the Home and Away kits on 25th May, the previous year we had to wait until 21st June to see the new home kit.

The third kit is usually released later, last year it was on 24th July but in previous years it has been as late as 1st September.

    If its anything like this I love it⚒️⚒️⚒️

  • Claudio says:

    Let’s hope this isn’t the kit. it was nice in the day but it looks a bit naff now. Claret with blue sleeves is far classier.

  • Paul says:

    Some things just need to stay in the past. The desire for retrospective kits is becoming quite tiresome, pastiche unoriginal and uninspiring.

  • West Ham Fan No 32 says:

    Hopefully they have the away kit in the same form, that was my favourite away kit of all time closely followed by the 85/86 one.

  • Danielson79 says:

    this trend of recreating retro kits is getting boring, but I must admit this is pretty decent and probably a fitting tribute for 125 year anniversary. I’d buy it.

  • Spotted Dog says:

    Horribly dated. I can’t imagine a top six club wearing something like this.

  • Irish Hammer says:

    Decent kit, and to follow on would love to see a return to the Argentina style BAC Windows kit of the 90s return for the away kit, or else the traditional away kit of 2 claret hoops across a light blue background 🙂

    • Occam's Razor says:

      Irish

      The away kit with 2 claret hoops is the best ever (home and away).
