The Club has marked its 125th Anniversary next season with the launch of a range of kits, all inspired by colours and designs worn earlier in our history.
We will contest the 2007/2008 league and cup competitions with a new home, away and third strip from PUMA, all of which have echoes of various First Team shirts from previous decades. The First Team will also contest one game at White Hart Lane with a Special Edition 125 Anniversary Kit to mark the special occasion itself.

The new home kit underlines the Club’s lilywhite heritage by featuring white shirt, white shorts and white socks. Running throughout the weave of the home shirt is a special jacquard, reading Tottenham Hotspur 125 Years 1882-2007. The second and third strip will be all navy blue and all yellow respectively. Meanwhile, the Special Edition 125 Anniversary Kit is a blue and white halved shirt with white shorts.
Daniel Levy, Chairman, said: "Our 125th Anniversary is a landmark for our Club. Whilst our focus is always on providing for the future, it is equally important that we look to commemorate our long and rich heritage. Just one of the ways we shall be marking this occasion is with a Special Edition 125 Anniversary shirt. A blue and white halved shirt was first worn by our players in 1885 and a similar shirt will be worn on one occasion during the 2007/2008 season to celebrate the Club’s 125th Birthday.”
The special edition shirt will be available for fans to buy as a boxed replica complete with a unique numbered certificate of authenticity to commemorate 125 years of the Club’s history.
For the first time ever, we are revealing all our kits at the same time, giving fans the option of reviewing all the shirts before deciding which to buy. Replica shirts continue to be a very popular item for fans to buy and wear on matchdays. Sales of this season’s kits have broken all records and with a wider choice available to fans, the Club and PUMA expect the Anniversary range to be well received.
The logo of the Club’s sponsor MANSION appears in Mandarin Chinese script on the away and the third kit.
The Club's Executive Director Paul Barber said: “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. Working in the Chinese market is an exciting prospect for us and for our partners, MANSION. We look forward to exploring the Chinese market in the years ahead working closely with MANSION who already have many customers in this part of the world.”
The new kits were launched on Tuesday afternoon at PUMA’s offices in London where we also announced that we would contest the last home game of the current 2006/2007 season on Sunday versus Manchester City in next season’s new all-white home kit.
Tony Ward, General Manager of PUMA UK comments: “PUMA are delighted to be working with a club with such fantastic heritage and tradition as Tottenham Hotspur. Our product design team have worked hard to create a range of kits that combine the Club’s history, values and image with today’s modern technologies and design.”
