One fan’s mock up below has suggested that the image above maybe resemble the new West Ham away kit for the 2016/2017 season in the former Olympic Stadium although one insider who has seen the real kits has said it is close but not close enough. The diamond patterns are said to signify the Olympic Stadium steel structure as part of Umbro’s theme on location this year.
