The Umbro West Ham 2015/2016 home kit will be unveiled tomorrow under the theme of ‘History in the making’
The Hammers £4m per year deal with Umbro is worth £20m over five years which is double that of our previous Adidas deal which earned the Hammers £2m per year and £4m over the length of the two year contract. There has been speculation that Umbro will re-create the original 1904/1905 season kit which the Hammers wore when they first played in the Boleyn Ground on the 1st September 1904 beating Millwall 3-0 in front of 10,000 Irons fans
It would be good to have the original kit for the last season at the Boleyn,
Have we got prices yet or is that tomorrow as well ?
Will the kit be black and white? In all the photos I’ve seen from that era they’re wearing black and white lol
Lol,hope it aint one with those fuxking string bits around the neck!!Naff pieces of tat they are!!! Villas one was gross!!!
The kit used in 1904 was claret and blue. You can view the kit here (1903-1905):

Actually the first c & b kit west ham wore they got from aston villa
Yeah thats right.My mate sent me a pic of the new kit earlier.Dont know where he got it from.Looked authentic though 😉
There are only so many variations of a claret and sky blue shirt a designer can dream up. So it’s hardly surprising that any new version would resemble one worn in the past by Aston Villa or Burnley .
The new West Ham kit would look better with sky blue socks than white or claret. Incidentally, the last time they had those was when Slaven Bilic played!!
