Tottenham Hotspur, the club from north London
Tottenham is one of the historic clubs in English football, the first of the twentieth century to achieve the league-cup double, and the first British club to win a European trophy. It's a prestigious history, mainly built in the sixties.
The modern era has been more frustrating: for a long time, the club was on the brink of European places without managing to secure one, but it eventually returned to winning a continental trophy after a very long wait, which greatly rekindled interest in its colours.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, opened in the late 2010s, has almost sixty-three thousand seats. It's one of the most modern stadiums in Europe, designed to also host American football.
The white shirt and the cockerel of the crest
Tottenham plays in white at home, with navy blue shorts, a combination that gives the club its nickname of Lilywhites. It's a simple shirt, where the crest and the kit supplier carry almost all of the design.
The cockerel perched on a ball, armed with a spur, is one of the oldest crests in English football. It comes from the club's nickname, Hotspur, borrowed from a character in Shakespeare known for his temperament and spurs.
Home, away, third: which one to choose?
The home shirt is the white of the Spurs, the one most supporters buy and that stays identifiable long after.
The away shirt usually has a dark base, either navy blue or black depending on the collections. It's the one that wears most easily day-to-day and is the most practical to maintain.
The third shirt takes the most liberties in design and is released in smaller quantities. It's the one that becomes sought after once sold out.
Supporter version or player version?
The supporter version has a straight, looser cut, made from breathable but flexible material. It's the one worn at the stadium and on the street, and the default choice if you're unsure.
The player version, known as authentic, mimics the on-field attire: a fitted cut, technical fabric, different finishes. It is noticeably more snug, to the point that it's common to take a size up, sometimes two.
What size Tottenham shirt should I get?
In the supporter version, your usual t-shirt size usually works in most cases, with enough room to wear a layer underneath.
In the player version, count on a size larger at the minimum, as these shirts are tailored to be snug.
One point to consider for a white shirt: the looser cut of the supporter version shows less of what is worn underneath compared to the fitted player version, which is significant with this colour.
Printing: name, number, and badges
The official Premier League printing has its own typography, different from that of the European Cup. A printed shirt from the shop uses these fonts and colours.
A personalised shirt is no longer exchangeable, so you need to check the size before ordering. And a player's name is a long-term gamble, which leads some supporters to keep a blank shirt.
Other Premier League clubs
The English league is the most followed in the world, and each club has its own page:
- Arsenal, the nearby rival in the north London derby, the most intense match of the season.
- Chelsea FC, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace, other London clubs.
- Liverpool FC and Manchester United, the two most decorated clubs in England.
- Manchester City and Stoke City round out the selection.
The other clubs page covers the rest of the league, and the Premier League page brings them all together all.
Where to find a cheaper Tottenham shirt
The promotions in the supporter shop gather the current discounted kits, while the new arrivals showcase the latest collections.
The clearance and the good deals happen year-round on end-of-line items. The sales come during legal periods.
The Black Friday kicks off a series of key moments, ahead of the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, and the French Days of spring. The best time remains when the next collection comes in, making the previous one end-of-line.
