All-white for a first try: American designers Under
Armour have taken over from Puma in designing the Tottenham
kits
With the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas
and the signings of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jan Vertonghen, Tottenham
may just be one step closer to bringing back the title winning days
of the 1960s.
But it’s the 1980s that seem to be in the minds of the
north London club judging by their new home strip - which as seen
below is worn by the entire first
team.
New designers, Under Armour have unveiled the new home kit
for the 2012/13 season - which is modelled mainly by Michael
Dawson, Scott Parker and Kye Walker - featuring grey trim that
closely matches the strips worn in a decade where the club won two
FA Cups and the UEFA Cup.
White shorts also feature on the home kit, which apart
from 2007/08, appear on the domestic home strip for the first time
since 1987.
Gareth Bale, Walker and Dawson were on hand to reveal the
club’s more traditional navy blue away number but there is no sign
of want-away midfielder Luka Modric or Rafael van der Vaart on the
main promotion of the the strips.
The Croatian international, who is valued at £35million,
is the subject of interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid with
Villas-Boas confirming this week he would sell the 26-year-old
providing the asking price is met.
