Olympic Stadium showers are being tiled in Claret & blue in preparation for West Ham moving into their new home

Claret and Blue Showers at Olympic Stadium

Well it looks like the showers will be Claret and Blue at the new look Olympic Stadium. This photo posted by Stadium construction worker Gary Jones on Instagram this week appears to show West Ham themed showers in the rebuild Olympic Stadium.

Whilst the floor remains under construction the claret & blue theme looks almost complete with the tiles recently drilled out to fit the showers.

Clearly the re-theme of this already iconic venue in Stratford East London continues at a very fast pace and should make the Hammers feel right at home.

The stadium which has been made famous by Usain Bolt is set to undergo a series of projects to make it more like Upton Park. The seating will have a West Ham theme and it won’t just be the showers which receive the Claret & Blue treatment.

There will be Boleyn themed bars and corporate lounges which pay homage to the history of West Ham United and The Thames Ironworks. It is also understood that the concourse inside the stadium itself will be festooned in the Hammers livery.

The Olympic Park is set to receive a massive regeneration project as work continues outside the stadium.

There are also plans to rename many of the routes and bridges which approach the venue, with many of West Ham’s greatest players being honoured.

It’s highly likely that Hammers legends such as Bobby Moore, Billy Bonds, Sir Geoff Hurst, Trevor Brooking, John Lyall and Ron Greenwood could be immortalised in a bit to make the surrounds more homely.

Quite how familiar West Ham’s new home will be remains to be seen, however it is clear from the pictures being leaked that there will be plenty of Claret & Blue on show.

      Haha bubs you’re spot on I like the mix on here a bit of serious opinion and having a laugh,too much analysing from us amateurs and we turn into Wetpants. We can have articles about the showers,the bogs or DGs beard as long as we don’t take ourselves too seriously it doesn’t matter. I’d never think you’d be a dirty old man hanging around public bogs,I’d say they’d be too hot and smelly in sunny Spain lol
