The whole kit and caboodle

OK loyal Spurs fans, we're not actually sure of qualifying for the UEFA Cup yet but here are not one, not two, not three but FOUR new kits you can buy to wear next season anyway...


I must say that I do like the look of them. I might even buy one of the shirts, although the last one I bought, 16 years ago and made from some non-degradable poly substance, is still as good as new.

The official reason for all these new kits is "to celebrate the 125th year of the club". Great, but wouldn't one shirt or a badge have been sufficient? I guess not. The real motive is to make money. Lots of money. Apparently, the logo of the Club's sponsor will appear in Mandarin Chinese script on the away and the third kits!

"The Club has always enjoyed massive international support and it is a mark of the Club's tradition and success that we can now look to broaden our appeal in markets such as China". It sounds like a waste of time if you ask me - they're all wearing Man Utd kit already. Besides, I'm not sure the Chinese scripted shirts will prove to be very popular if taken on another pre-season tour to Korea!
