It's that time of year when Tottenham Hotspur's new kits are nearing their launch so let's look at the latest offerings from Nike for the coming season
All eyes are now on the 2026/27 season for Tottenham Hotspur and that will soon include a brand new set of Nike kits which will be adorned by one particular thing for the last time.
As it does each year, the internet has been flooded with supposedly leaked images galore in recent months, some the real deal, some design concepts that never were and some simply wishful thinking. Then as June arrives so the actual Spurs kit starts turning up on sale in random far flung parts of the world before it officially launches to give the supporters a better look at what's to come.
So what can we expect from this year's batch of Tottenham kits that will be worn by Roberto De Zerbi and Martin Ho's players in the men's and women's teams?
Well first off we know of course that they will be made by Nike. The north London club signed their deal with the US sportswear giants back in 2017 and extended it the following year to a 15-year contract which will last until at least 2033 and is reportedly worth around £30million a season to Spurs.
That means we'll be seeing at least seven more years of the Tottenham cockerel sitting across from the Nike Swoosh as part of one of the longest football club deals in the sportswear giant's history.
However, this will the last season that we see something on the club's kits and when it comes to the home shirt, that will stop plenty of unhappy voice. That's because it will be the final year that the red AIA logo will be splashed across the centre of the white home shirt as that sponsorship deal comes to an end after this next campaign.
The insurance company will switch to being Spurs' training wear sponsor from the 2027/28 season with another front of shirt sponsor coming on board for the match kits.
So what will the three kits for the 2026/27 season look like for Andy Robertson & Co and when are they coming out? Let's take a look at each one.
Home kit
Forget far flung places, with the kit spotted on sale in Mexico City last month, as one eagle-eyed Spurs fan, Christina Zandes, noticed on Friday that the new home shirt was already on the rack in the Nike store in London ahead of its actual launch and promptly recorded a video and took a photo of it.
It's a very plain white top with navy accents and subtle diagonal striping that is said to be inspired by the club's mid-1980s Hummels kits.
The shirt has one navy stripe on each of its sides which head up the back, in between the sleeves and the trunk, as well as a very thin navy cuff on each arm, with the Kraken sleeve sponsor on the left shoulder.
The layed collar is the same as England's away kit for the World Cup and hopefully it looks better in action than it does hanging awkwardly off a hanger.

Away kit
Prepare yourselves because the away kit is a bit different, although maybe hold that thought until you get to the third one.
The navy away one is certainly far removed from this season's plain black affair. Footy Headlines published images a couple of months ago of what they claimed were "the first official images of Tottenham's new 26-27 away kit, featuring a bold and somewhat crazy pattern on the front".
There are colours galore worked into this new kit's eye-catching design with "a vibrant and chaotic pattern with diagonal, jagged lines in neon pink, purple, and orange over an Obsidian (navy blue) base", according to the Nike details. The kit has a rounded neck with no collar.
The leaked images of the kit drew a mixed reaction from Tottenham supporters, as the new kits always do, with some liking the bold colours and others thinking they were too much. All the Nike, Spurs and sponsor logos on the shirt are in white at least, which will keep the fans happy.
Here's what it looks like.

Third shirt
Now if you're after a third shirt that can double up as a pair of fancy purple pyjamas then Tottenham and Nike appear to have you covered.
Its colour is known as 'Psychic Purple', even though nobody could have predicted this effort, and it is a similar tone to one used on the club's 1998/99 and 2011/12 shirts. It comes with dark purple pinstripes that are outlined in white, plus an old school polo collar with a button.
The stripes blur out in the middle in order to fit the AIA logo on the shirt while the collar has a white edge starting from about halfway up it.
There is also expected be a lifestyle version with a straight V-neck (which looks far better) and is inspired by the 1996 Nike Premier shirts to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
