The new Spurs shirt...it's very bold

Via the official site.

Lovely minimalistic design by Puma. Shame about the mental size bold fontface. I know a sponsor pays the money to have their logo on the shirt, but too much trouble to ask for them to match colours with shirt and perhaps sort of have a more subtle font for the name? It's not like nobody isn't going to see it if its slightly less boldy. It's on the front of the shirt staring right back at us.

Shirts are released on September the 14th. Clever.

My name is Luka...I live in the second kit.

Yes, I'm complaining. Only fair to do so after I did the same with the yellow-streaky shirt. Still, on a positive note:

Bold > yellow streaks

So hands up if you're gonna get Modric 14 printed on the back?

UPDATE:

Oh Christ. I had not seen the third kit. In a rather cruel twist of irony and fate, here it is:

Bold AND a random yellow streak.

Wow.

I...have...nothing...more...to...say....

A lot of effort went into this one then

Viral? Leaked completley by accident? Or just a plain shirt used for pre-launch to allow the tech guys to build the product page? You can find it here (until it gets pulled down). If real, then the suggestion is that Puma have sent out images of the shirts to online retail shops ready for post-launch. Someone too eager has published live, rather than on test. Possibly.

Regardless, what of the shirt?

Clean, crisp...just white. No yellow streaks or unnecessary complications. Just white. With collars.

I thought it (the above image) was photo-shopped when I first saw it, probably just an instinctive reaction to seeing something so simplistic in design. On closer inspection, you can zoom into the image on the above linked page, so appears to be fairly geninue. Which still remains my only concern (what with being paranoid and cynical that this has 'gone live' and remained so without anyone pulling it off the site, thus creating hype/chat across blogs and Twitter and football message boards. Because what would be the point of that?)

Oh yeah.

Nice one Puma. You had as fooled with 'Guess the Kit' and all those zany designs.

Here's a mock up with a sponsor, via Glenroyid:

Spurs - any chance we can get rid of the red dot? Moon on a stick.

If this is the shirt, then well done to all involved in it's design. Although I'm thinking all they did was listen to what many of us have been demanding for so long and avoid re-inventing the wheel.

Although I'm wondering if I'd prefer it without the collars...
