Alternative (make-believe) Spurs shirts...
Saturday, July 17, 2010 at 3:53PM Meanwhile, somewhere in an alternate universe...
With thanks to Billiospur for the re-imagined Puma shirts with the new sponsor. Cleaner, less clutter, just the colours that matter. Because glory comes in three colours, not three colours and an assortment of unnecessary bits and gloss.
Simplicity = smart = class.

i think the away strip is horrible! why can't we get away from the pyjama looking light blue colour? the other 2 colours are fine
Vast improvement on the 1st and 3rd Kit - just shows how much better they look without the poncey bits!
The shorts on the home look better...The 3rd Kit looks better...The away looks terrible and you've taken away the best bits off the home shirt aka the old school flash across the top!
To be honest I was excited when I saw the home shirt without the sponsor - it just looks wrong now!!! Check out Man Utd's new home kit for an example of a sponsor that fits in perfectly. Ours look shite!
its not a fashion show is it, stripe or no stripe, sponsor or no sponsor, it aint gonna change the way the yids play. come on spurs
I like these much more
I thought the home kit looked rather sharp, especially compared to last season's. The away and 3rd can fuck right off though, but I like these better overall. Besides, it's as close as Tom Finney's ever going to get to seeing PNE playing in the Prem.
I'll probably pick up the home kit, but only because I haven't bought one since the Holsten years. None of them fit really, and they smell kind of funny. The one released last season was fucking grim and I need to represent. It's the usual 4 around here.
Much bettercleaner more like Spurs send it to Levy and get him to Uturn
actually, fuck it, I'll get a replica 1961 from Toffs or something.
reading this was a waste of everyone's time
and whoever did this cut off chirpy's head on the home shirt. you should be shot!
Thats what a Spurs home kit should look like (even better without a sponsers name)
the last all white 1st kit shirt was a terrible seller, no one would buy a plain white shirt for 30-40 quid....not even those who complain every time there is a new launch
This is really nice. Please PUMA make something like this, the other kits are really looking stupid.
Rubbish. What the hell is this daft obsession with plain/retro kits. Heres a word, Boring!
The real reason England were so shit was because they were bored to death at looking at their own plain peices of tat.
I loved last seasons kit and it was the most complicated home shirt ever, oooh shit the bed, look were in the Champions League.
VIVA LA IMAGINATION!
It;s okay people. One more year of Puma then its Adidas.
I quite like the new gear, and am moved to invest for the first time in years. Plus my mrs reckons the Autonomy logo looks a bit like the symbol for anarchy, which is pretty cool.
The sky blue is alright as it reminds me of our 80s away strip. I'm no fashionista but a thumbs up from me. The "improvement" above is a tad bland and the dog shit yellow a bit nasty.
Yeah, Radders is right. It was obv. the shirt that got us where we are.
radders .....?
more like viva la balls up!
last years kit resembled the cub scouts..!!.........
an aston martin is an aston martin (peters)
classic spurs etc
Would have been happy had they just kept last seasons shirt and removed the yellow bits.
on the pitch is where it matters .........
but no one can say puma are on the ball.......
its a matter of football culture and identity
if it wasnt we would be not changing our stadium with a cool design etc
lets all buy a blue and white skoda!
The light blue is horrible, the yellow would have been better
Spooks. Fan of your work, but this one (no offence to Billiospur's photoshopping) wasn't worth the effort. Sometimes I think we put too much time into thinking about the shirts and everything else and not enough about the football. Levy got what we needed to go forwards - a kit sponsor with more money to give us, with another one lined up soon to better the previous deals at a tricky time. I don;t care if there's a red dot, or if the blue is slightly off colour. I'm not a massive fan of the designs, but as has been said, it's on the pitch where it matters. No more need to flog this horse (until the new cups sponsor) it's all but glue already.
SO PLAIN AND BORING! The last one looks like someone pissed on an all white kit....SHIT IS WACK
They are mock ups, what do you expect? If someone like Umbro took these simple designs I bet IRL they would look sublime.
UMBRO's kits are as dull as england were at the WC...plain and simple enough?
You don;t like the Man City home kit? Sky blue and they still manage to make it look good.
they all look dreadful !!
Sigh. It's only meant to be a comparison to the current ones which have so much clutter on them. Although the actual white home shirt is decent enough.
billiospur here........first of all spookys blog ......best.............
the point of the alterations was to realise how .....we are fooled
and it appears many spurs fans are...........what by........what your being sold......
thfc .....is an awesome club ....an levy and redknapp are sorting where we should be .......
wake up to a better day.......
park lane ........as ateenager .......great save pat!.....
and all the money dont meant shit
x
too much negativiteee man
blackstock road 1976.......x
I'll chip in with my pet hate. Pale blue. I can't stand it as our away kit. The bright yellow option is better.
Colours have a major psycological factor. It's no fluke that the most dominant teams wear the most advantageous colour to wear in battle... Red ( I spit on the colour to show you where I stand ).
The all White kit has a power, the bright yellow commands respect, as do most bold colours. But pale blue no. No team will ever where grey again after Manu(re)s fateful tryout with the colour.
Bring in the colour specialists when choosing kit colours.
I actually quite like the new kits (as in I like the official ones, not those above). I didn't mind last year's either. At least there's a bit of design going on! Not captain boring's effort above!
The new home shirt with the patch is especially nice, bit of creativity!
And billospur, nothing against you but what on earth are you rambling on about in your comment above?
can i just remind readers of this classic. read it again, my god its good.

Yeah...Miles better. Give that man a job at Puma!
Well done...
Someone please email this to Levy, cc to puma. :P
only 1 nitpick, i'm not too crazy about the puma logo at the waistband. The cat's too near the bird. =)
We look more like a Champion's League team in these mock ups.
The Official first was nice without the sponsor,agree the shorts are shocking!
Will get used to it like always. COYS
I like the new kits, especially hte home one which is the one i would buy. Some details are unnecessary, especially the half white leg on the home shorts and too much detailing on the dark blue kit, other than that they are great.
Why would anyone prefer a yellow kit (especially that shade shown above) to a sky blue one. Which teams in their right mind play in bright yellow or 'piss' yellow.....none! Thats because it is horrible. I like the sky blue with dark blue & white detailing.
These are 200% better than last seasons
Hi - we've got an interesting article today about the 25-man rule and wondered if anyone on your site has done any work on your squad as comparisons might prove interesting.
You can have a look at the info here

ive hated every one of the puma kits so far
doesnt look like that will be changing any time soon
Liverpool have got Joe Cole. Personally I'm glad - don't think he would have added too much to our midfield, and too expensive at around £90k per week. One top class striker who can play on his own up front is what we need
Guaranteed first team football.
Anyone else notice how their boots are Three different brands...Nike, Umbro, Adidas
Didn't there used to be a football blog around here somewhere
.
The new kits are horrible but at least they won't make Luka look like a Victorian 14yr.old in a sailor suit.
Any chance we could get to keep the same kit for say five years.
Some of the players passing might improve as aresult of higher colleague kit recognition quotient facility.
It actually looks pretty sexy with the white shorts

gotta say i actually really like the new shirts. plain is boring and as someone pointed out they wouldnt sell well. ive heard a lot of guys saying how good they think the new designs are, and the long sleeved 3rd kit looks great. a marked improvement on the last few and no more massive red stain in the middle...shame about that one dot though!
