Who’s ready for kit leak season? I SAID, WHO’S READY FOR KIT LEA…
Fine, I’ll just give you the news. We’re not even four weeks into the 2024-25 Premier League season, barely two weeks since the green third kits were formally introduced, and we’re already getting leaks about Tottenham Hotspur’s kits for 2025-26.
Well, I say “leaks” but they’re barely that — just basically color swatches. That said, they’re interesting color swatches. According to football kit leak website Footy-Headlines, Tottenham are expected to have a BLACK AWAY KIT next season, and that’s pretty noteworthy!
Spurs haven’t had a black kit for a decade, but the history of black change kits are, uh, pretty sketch. The last time Spurs had a primary black kit was the infamous “skid-mark” away kits in 2014-15, and before that it was the weird black/gray halfsies kits from 2012-13 —- see header photo — which were pretty much universally derided (and which Spurs wore weirdly more than the blue aways that season).
And yeah, the details in the Footy-Headlines leak are important because it’s not JUST black, but also “Lt Iron Ore,” a gray color that might be used as an accent, or could be a co-primary color. Because this is Nike, I’m fully expecting them to roll out a template that’s like basically Barcelona’s training kit from this season or something. We’ll see.
Speaking of Iron Ore, that’s also one of two accent colors, along with “anchor blue” which is also in use on this year’s home kits, that will be used on next season’s home kits, which were also recently linked on the same website. Again, no design details, but it sounds like we’ll get a white shirt with some blue AND gray next season.
There you go. Let the kit design speculation begin! And remember, it’s probably not going to be as good as what you imagine!
