    One day Nike might make a half-decent kit for us...

    That's ****. What's with the weird grey bits? Totally unnecessary and that's not even mentioning the blue up the top. Awful.

    • Season Ticket renewals for 2020/21 will be open from Monday (13 July) to ensure time to adopt a new registration system and fulfil seat relocation requests where possible.
    • As well as securing seats, the initial payment of 20 per cent of your Season Ticket price includes all the benefits of a One Hotspur+ Membership.

    https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2020/july/update-202021-season-ticket-renewals/

    WE NEED YOUR MONEY NOW! Although we don't yet know if/when the season will go ahead, and if/when fans will be able to attend

    And worse:

    NON-REFUNDABLE!

    This is the issue with modern kit designs, as they fall into two categories

    1. The Template, where dozens of teams around the world have palette-swapped kits of one another to the point teams may as well be named Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke and Rain, with Nike being particularly guilty of this (especially when we have things such as our third kit from a couple of seasons ago being the same as Barca's training kit) although Adidas are just as guilty as a cursory glance at this season's MLS's kits reveals

    ...bet nobody even realised that several of those kits of those kits (off the top of my head Atlanta, Columbus, Kansas City, Montreal, Taurine FC New Jersey York, San Jose and Toronto) are their away kits

    2. The Clever Designer, where rather than stick to a brief whoever is in charge of the kits decides to show what a clever designer boy they are and essentially has Photoshop vomit over the next season's kit, hence you have kits which should be so easy to make such as Juventus or Atletico Madrid ending up like the following

    Most baffling at all is what Adidas have done with Mexico's kit

    On paper the Mexico kit is easy: a green shirt with white and red accents (white being far more prominent) with an Aztec pattern featuring somewhere, either taking up the entire shirt as was the case with their 1998 shirt, or for their 2006 shirt it was more subtle (well it's not like it could be less subtle...) with the Aztec designs within the white shape across the shirt's chest

    So with this brief (green shirt, with white and red accents, with some kind of Aztec design involved) how did Adidas approach this? Well, this is what they came up with...

    Now can anyone see the most pressing issue with this kit...?

    No idea, as I've not seen any official explanation and/or excuse anywhere

    Worst of all it's a missed opportunity, because if they're going to wear black kits surely having some kind of Dia de los Muertos design makes sense?

    ...I may have been playing too much Guacamelee 2 this week

    Fans have paid for a plane to fly over the NLD with a “Levy Out” banner <laugh>

    Whether you like the guy or not, you’ve gotta be one sad person to spend money on something that is literally going to bear no fruition.

    He should pay for one to follow it with a No Thanks banner. I doubt he'd spend the money for it, though.

    I take it "You sound exactly like the AFTV ****ers" won't fit on a banner?

    Oh well, better get working on that zeppelin...

    It has been an interesting season,hasn't it? 2-7 (at home!!!!) to Bayern Munich in the CL.A League Cup bonking at Colchester followed by an FA CUP defeat at Norwich. Norwich?
    Wonderful memories!! Just like that 5-1 beating we got against a relegated Newcastle a few seasons ago.......

    Our " tactical coach" Ricardo Formosinho has reportedly informed Jose that he'll be leaving at the end of the season and Jose has already started looking for a replacement.
    I had know idea who he was or what he looked like and he looks like an old Joey tribbiani from Friends
    And our current tactics he will be no great loss or am I wrong about him ?

    Says it all that r/coys, who have been pushing the theory that Joao Sacramento will be our manager in 2-3 months years, are asking what, if anything, he does in training in the past couple of days

    Oliver Skipp and Jose agree that Skipp needs a loan spell next season, where would be a good place for him to go and other than Kane which of our "promising youngsters" have gone out on loan and returned the better for it ? None spring to mind , plentry have gone out on loan and withered away never to return
