Recycled Crisp Packets & Plastic Bottles
Thursday, 25 June 09, 11:21 AM · Comments (171)
Glory comes in three colours and via a bloke in a high vis vest...
After a fair bit of speculation and much hanging around waiting the great unveiling of THFC's latest three revenue streams has taken place.
What can I tell you? Auntie Climax seems to becoming a regular visitor at the HH caravanette. I promise you, I really did want to be more upbeat, more inspired, but what we're looking at here is a hotch potch of afterthoughts and hopefully the end of our contracts with both Mansion and Puma.
Bar the black strip, I haven't been impressed with the build quality of any of the Puma Spurs replica shirts and I don't need to be in the same room as these strips to have my opinion changed. They could be made of the finest fabrics known to man, but the bottom line is that the design of these polyester nasties just suck.
The home strip, like our abysmal 125 jobby is more reminiscent of other teams and even other sports, rather than us or our heritage. The away shirt is marred by more of those irritating yellow bits.
Our third strip should be mustard and we got custard.
Oh well, Toffs it is.
And speaking of recycling, a bloke on Spurs Odyessy is convinced Chimbomba is off to Blackburn. Every cloud and all that.
BIOYC!

How can Yellow look aggressive? Yellow = cowardly. It looks like someone designed a perfectly god Spurs shirt & then urinated all over it.

australia/brazil...errr norwich city.
People complain about the new kits every single year. I thought the chocolate brown 3rd kit was the best kit I had seen in a long time, but everyone else hated it!
So, yeah, Ok the kits aren't 'classic' enough, but those home whites will sure as hell look sharp on the field. Even if only (mercifully) for a year.
Always hated the yellow away kits, now we have to look at yellow all bloody season.....
Not only is yellow gross, from what I can remember, we hardly ever win in it !!!!
Don't worry - in the current climate PL teams will have to decide on shirts v skins for every game. Lets pray we mostly play in skins.
...... and if Hud is still with us he can be our wide midfield player ......
I don't like it, so I won't buy one. That's about as worked up as I'll get over it.
I just wonder how the club goes about picking the final version. Who is in that meeting? Is there some study suggesting that yellow streaks are what supporters crave?
The club wants to make money (tell us something we don't know, SSG) so there must something telling THFC that these will sell.
"Tie a yellow ribbon round the old spurs kit
charge them 5 quid more
for a strip thats s*it....
Only joking sports fans. Its just a pity that the designers couldn't be a bit more inspired by tradition, and keep the yellow elements to the away kit only.
i honestly don't mind the designs its just that yellow. it would be better with the blue instead
Puma have just thrown in another colour instead of actually creating anything original.
The problem there is that we now have yellow and red on our home shirt, and a pair of golden arches. McTottenham
It's happened gradually, and the will-they, won't-they with Mansion as a sponsor aside, I think it'd have been nice if Puma had heeded the fact that we were already pushing it with our sponsor colour. Instead, they worked blind to that and threw another colour in there.
It's their job to work within the remit, rather than adding a new colour as some yah-let's-do-lunch example of 'thinking outside the box'.
Can we buy him back in January?
We are supposed to be The Lilywhites. Consequently I'd be very hesitant to think of white as being associated with anything less an the brilliant white of push and run men beneath floodlights, foreign and domestic.
The recent sky shirt was wet. Looked cheap, sold the least and was generally naff.
My issue is that the club by pursuing or rather following blindly a generic marketing route they've actually managed to devalue the brand.
Who cares? well obviously a few. But have you this? LINK
We'd be mugs to let him go. Don't you think?

i agree elfy, "tradition" moseltof.
love the song.
the last three years are confirmation that Puma really don't know what they are doing..
look at Adidas and Nike designs.. simplistic and classy designs...
now look at Puma.. they try too hard and end up with abominations like this years hoime shirt..
there's just so much going on..
first we have the cockrel - no problem there..
then we have the puma logo - again, no problem..
but then we get two extra puma logo's on the shoulder - why?
then we have two yellow streaks inexplicably coming right across the chest..
this is coupled with the further bits of yellow down the side..
then (not Puma's fault) we have a big blotch of red staining our jersey followed by a paragraph (in black writing) explaining what the red blotch is..
so that's white, navy, yellow, red and black all on the one shirt.. hideous.. absolutely hideous..
Puma has to be gotten rid of..
and for those who will say that as supporters we should belt up and buy the thing...just think of the amount of merchandising revenue the club would bring in if it were an Adidas or Nike design..
not to mention we'd look bloody good..
looking forward to the 2010/11 season already..

If you don't like it , don't buy it then maybe next time they'll have a re-think. Anyhow have you seen this.........? LINK

To be fair some of the other teams strips I have seen have come off alot worse than ours. Some of them look like uniform you would normally spot in B&Q....and as for Newcastles away that is truly f*cking hysterical.

As for Newcastle away that is truly f*cking hysterical. - no change there then!!
Over 700 signatures in a day is no coincidence. A huge majority of Spurs fans are refusing to buy this kit & I'm 1 of them. The amount of revenue lost over this pee-stained shirt is only going to harm the club. Change it & change it now! Feyenoord complained about their Puma kits & they managed to get them changed.

Oh, and Doublevision, go to a dictionary & look up the word 'Yellow'. it means "cowardly, Jealous, Envious, Dishonest . . . a term of offense". No stereotype, its the definition & at no point is it "aggressive". Maybe on a wasp, I'll give you that, but this shirt looks pants, sorry. White has NEVER meant 'cowardly' so the feather analogy does not really make sense I'm afraid. This shirt looks nasty & the Arsenal fans in my street are already laughing their heads off at us.
I see Michael Owen has his CV on Monster and Job Search now!
Reply to steve1987:
I dont' like it - I don't like the 'marbled' shell-suity looking pattern round the neck, I dont like fat stripes at the side of the shirt going into thin stripes on the shorts and I wouldn't like the 'V' bit if it was white-on-white.
But that's not important. What I object to is being told that yellow is one of our 'core colours'. Paul Barber said yellow has been a Spurs colour for 127 years. That's BS - we had one yellow and brown shirt in 1898 - and even the penny farthing riders must have realised that was a mistake cos we didn't see a drop of yellow again until 1967's away shirt.
Reply to elfranklins:
Agreed, but come this time of year it's probably not a good thing being relieved not to be the worst afflicted.
A few simple changes would've been fine, but then they'd worry about not making the sales unless new shirts are distinctively different.
Everton, or Bolton's boxer-shorts-hiked-up might be the worst for me.
Reply to steve1987:
i hope Harry has... big mistake if we let him go..
I don't mind the home kit although i'm not pre-ordering it like I usually do! The green goalie kit is a tragedy. I was genuinely made up when I heard that PUMA would be our kit manufacturer because at the time they were making some of the best looking, simplistic strips in football but for some reason that all changed when we got them!
COYS!
I think the designer of these shirts was off his head when he came up with this load of shite, how can you have all these colours, in one strip, our home colour is white & navy blue, each year we seem to be adding more bright colours, next season why not have a bit of claret!! what happend to tradition. you can just see it now, robbie kean leading the team out, and all the liverpool lot taking the p--s, i couldnt wait for last seson to finish, just so i wouldnt have to see those hooped socks!! and now this!!! god help us!!!
Shirts, Shirts, Shirts, does it really matter what shirt we are playing in. As long as the team start off on a good run then this debate will be long forgotten.
Chaps, if you don't like it then get the Holsten top from the Shop instead!!
Don't forget that Mansion & Puma gave us alot more money than a few others may have done 4yrs ago.
C O Y S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doublevision, you can believe what you like mate & you are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but I can tell you right away that Home shirt sales will drop massively because of this design. Also, I have done a number of petitions in the past and getting over 700 names in 1-4 days (whatever) is a huge amount, especially considering the shirt was only officially unveiled last night. I guarantee many more names will appear over the next couple days.
Also, PNE might be where our colours originate but we ARE the Lilywhites & we have been for over 100 years! Yellow has NO PLACE on our Home kit. We look like Leeds United ffs, & look what happened to them!
They put the extraneous Puma logo on the shoulders so they're visible on tv in post-match interviews , but there's really no need as we already know it's by Puma cos it's shit. Fuckin Amateurs...
Adidas/Holsten....it was a white. It had three stripes because it was Adidas, the stripes were navy because that is our secondary colour and it had Holsten written on it...in navy, because that is our secondary colour. Simple...but effective!
Mind you, as HH said, if we win the league in the new kit it may yet become a classic!
Reply to Roysie:
Don't get me wrong - I'd rather we played well and looked stupid than the other way around - but when people say 'if we win something in this it'll be the best kit ever' or what have you I just don't get it.
If we won the Prem in that I'd be miffed that every time I gazed fondly upon the trophy-wielding snaps, I'd have to be reminded of those nasty polyester pi55 streaks. And they'd probably be dubbed lucky and added to our kit for evermore.
It's such an eyesore I'd feel guilty about making my gooner aquaintances look at it as I stuffed their inboxes with 'Spurs - Champions' pix.....
The yellow kit beats the pale blue away number; now that is a weak color and should have been replaced a long time ago.
As for the home kit it always grows on you in time!
Reply to steve1987:
And we're still being linked with Downing!! Gio and Azza, come in from the left, come in from the right either side for either of them...that could be nice, really nice,really frightening
not liking the look of the home shirt with the extra steak of piss in it. The away strip is an absolute eye-sore too.
The new shirt - I think it's, well, OK, I think the yellow strip actually looks quite sharp. Just opinion. As for yellow - I remember watching us play Leeds in FA Cup quarter final 1972 in yellow shirts/navy shorts - isn't that the game where John Motson famously said "for those of you watching in black and white, Spus are the team in yellow"..?
Anyway - to all the people banging on Puma as tradition-hating criminals who are "fucking amateurs" and "have to be gotten rid of..." - do you not remember the first Puma shirt two years ago ? All white, no trim, no flashes, nothing extraneous except the unavoidable Mansion logo - how would you improve on that (apart from keeping it for a couple more years..?) Credit where credits due.
And, btw, 700 lost shirt sales wouldn't pay Keano's wages for a fortnight, so don't hold your breath waiting for a new shirt design.
Reply to Lebowski:
Whoever made this was an absolute dipshit. Dipshit with a nine toed woman. Now if you want a nice home kit, Nike can get you a kit by 3 o'clock, you don't wanna know how, but.....
OK, it's started. Email just in from the Club.
£10 Clubcash when you buy a new shirt.
Home is woeful - a slight change of the yellow to navy and its a winner.
Unsure about navy top, think it'll grow on me.
Yellow - i've always loved them. Maybe because my first spurs shirt was the yellow away kit from Klinsmann's debut season. I no, i'm a loser as i didnt have a SPurs shirt until I was 12, but times were tough, but I love that shirt to this very day. Didnt have Holsten on the front due to advertising laws, but that didnt bother me. That and my choclate brown shirt will be lifelong treasures.
Anyone any tips on killing blue bottles? Two of teh fuckers have been pestering me for hour now.
I think Puma did a better job utilizing this same template for Lazio and Bordeaux. If only the piss streaks and Mansion logo were navy I'd be satisfied. But as the saying goes, if my grandmother had balls...

...Anyone any tips on killing blue bottles?...
. (Avoiding bloody splat marks on the wall).
@RJ1882
Not sure I've ever tried this on bluebottles as such, they may be different, but common or garden flies seem to fall for it reliably...
1) darken the room so the flies think it's night
2) shut the doors and go do something interesting in the kitchen for 15-20 minutes.
3) Then, get an empty jam jar, squirt some washing up liquid in the bottom and fill with water until soap bubbles reach or overflow the rim of the jar.
4) Go back into the darkened room and turn the light on. Look for the flies on the ceiling. Hopefully they should be asleep by now.
5) Raise the soapy water filled jam jar to each fly so it gets the soap bubbles around it, it will lose its grip and fall into the water.
6) When all flies removed, empty jar somewhere suitable.
If that's too much science...
otherwise flick a tea-towel at them very fast - get close enough and the shock waves will stun them so that they fall to the ground where you can administer the coup de grace or some cruel and unusual punishment, as you please
Don't bill me for the damage to your fine china.
(Oh, and I would shut the window, in case their relatives turn up looking for vengeance.)

With some of you over ripe Plums, Spurs bashing the Shirt/Club, may I suggest you try out the white with red sleeve ensemble with the big pea shooter on it, I'm sure you will be taken with the way it brings the colour to your cheeks and I am convinced you will actually look better in it than in the Spurs shirt, after all I'm sure red is your favourite colour really...I personally enjoy wearing all the different coloured Spurs shirts, stops the family and friends thinking I never change my clothes!....COYS
What the fuck is going on here?
Some of you are more than happy to put up with the shit that actually plays inside the kit, but come a design you're not happy with, you can't stop running of with the mouth.
Fashion victims and cunts.

Wako Jacko has popped his clogs
Reply to A_Felching:
Now that's news, but what colour outfit was he wearing? Did it have go faster piss stripes, and was he found in a Charlie's angel?
Is Ronald McDonald to get naming rights to the new stadium?
Reply to TMWNN:
no but when the paramedic got the difib unit his collegue said
'you wanna be starting something"..............
I guess we can rule out Wacko as our new no. 9.
Reply to TMWNN:
It was the new kit that done him, he keeled when he seen the yellow bits
Reply to elfranklins:
This is good news for sick jokers.

*sorry.
can someone who "nose" about these things, please photoshop Jacko into Gooner kit?
Knowing the yanks, the game will be postponed until September.
Obama, then Brown (nose) to dribble endless sycophantic bilge till then.
Jacko a nonce? Never.
Where were you when Jacko died?
TMWNN - Writing shit on Harry Hotspur.
US were sickeningly poor against Brazil earlier. If the lads show the same spirit that they offered against Spain, it can be a contest. And then, who knows?
I'm not usually one to moan and get on the whole PC bandwagon, but I think that maybe we should actually show the guy some kind of respect to be fair.
I understand I'll without fail get the ''well then you should fuck off elsewhere'' comments come my way, but at the end of the day, we're talking about a 50 year old guy whos just died from a cardiac arrest, and I think its just a bit insensitive really.
Anyway, I'll leave and go off now before I basically get pushed out.
Goodnight anyway

Who're you guys trying to kid? You must remember all those Hens you pulled at a Friday night Disco whilst dancing to Jackos Beat...go on deny it,you've all probably been hunting frantically in your closets for The Glove and a pair of white socks...thats it brave face chin up, put that Cd on and hows that Moon dance thing go again?

The yellow streak in the home and blue kits make it look like the players have capes on - like a sort of cheap kids superhero suit and the photos look like the kits have been superimposed on the players rather than modelled. Ridiculous.

How stupid can some of our supporters make us look...?? Seriously, setting up a petition??? What are you thinking??? Do you seriously want us to look like a laughing stock?? Grow up!! You dont like it, fine, dont buy it, whinge to your mates, your mum, your dog even!! Spurs have been wearing those colours for years, check the history books, and just because these arent the best designs in the world it doesnt mean im going to throw my toys out the pram... i'll openly say i dont think its the best kit we've had recently but i'll still buy it and be proud to wear it every chance i get, at every game whether at the Lane or in the pub because all that matters to me is supporting my club and the players out on the pitch.
Get a life!!

As I think HH mentioned in a previous blog, if we somehow qualify for the CL in this kit, you'll hail this the greatest kit ever.. ''mayb not have been the best looking kits Spurs had but it certainly did us proud''...
COYS!!
Reply to SeanyYid:
What is there there?
Rumors are coming in that Michael Jackson didn't die of a heart attack.............He was in the childrens ward after a stroke.
It may not have been a cardiac arrest as he fell over a pram......... police think it's too early to blame it on the buggy
As Mr.Jackson was 90 percent made of plastic, he is going to be melted down and made into pieces of Lego, so that children can play with him.
too lazy/hungover to read all the comments and do any research... why is yellow in tradition of club strip? For what it is worth I like the new home strip...think it is more inline with the spanish clubs(who seem to be far ahead wrt shirt design - or maybe the football is better to watch)and I know it will be liked after the season starts... also where can one get the brown shirt from last year?
ps I like ellipses
Bent and Crouch to Sunderland. Apparantly done deals?
Reply to elfranklins:
Where did you read that ?
It 'appears' that Thudd won't be going anywhere this season. Certainly hope that's the case.
Gio has surely given Redknapp something to think about too which, again, I hope is the case.
Shame on you all for the MJ jokes
Rolf Harris has said that in honour of Michael Jackson, he will be doing 2 little boys at his funeral.
Hilarious
But i'm riddled with guilt laughing
Signings anyone? Cana, Cattermole, Bassong.
Are they the answer?
If they are the answer then god knows what the question is!
Got a link to the quote?
Reply to JoeyDeacon:
A work collegue whose son happens to be with the same agent as Bent. Says that the idea is to play them both together.
Reply to elfranklins:
Or with each other. You know what the northern air can do to fit young men...or lanky ones
Sounds more like ways to reach under a cupboard than a strike partnership....
Carrick, Berbatoss and keane were also 'not for sale'. He's as good as gone.
What on earth? I go away for a few days to relax in the sun, sand and odd poolside pint sans internet, then come back to this hoo-ha about petitioning against the new shirt
In addition, the disparaging remarks against a man that has been made into what he became through this strange world of ours needs to be addressed. Often unbelievably gifted talent, madness and a tortured soul are present in one person. Jacko and Gazza to name two.
All too often we are too presumptuous and judgemental without knowing all the facts. But in one instant we must stand together and acclaim the yellow on the white kit, much like many of the jokes post jacko's death, in very bad taste.
TBH the red mansion logo upsets me even more than the yellow.
Reply to TMWNN:
If only we can suitably 'replace him'. I like the look of this Lorik Cana bloke. Diametrically opposite to Thudd in technique, somehow he doesn't seem to be afraid to express himself.
Reply to Trembly:
I was watching a video of him yesterday- It was a five minute show-reel of him nailing opponents with sliding tackles. The man looks destructive. In a good way.
Is Harry interested?
No idea- youtube can obviously be deceptive. He looks to have a lot of aggressive energy, though. I'm not sure what other strings he has to his bow but he certainly can tackle.
Whether thats a good thing or not...
He looks like a really good version of Robbie Savage.

Farrah Fawcett dead yesterday, when she got to the gates of heaven she was welcomed by God, God said "Farrah is there anything i can do for you?"

We should worry about 'balanced depth' once we've sorted the first team out. At least 3 of our current starting line up are nowhere near up to it, i.e. Bent, Keane and Jenas.

Trembly: No, they're still there but they've no boots. Prisoners, sir. We took them prisoners, the entire garrison. No that's not true. We killed some, too many really. I'll manage it better next time. There's been a lot of killing, one way or another. Cross my heart and hope to die, it's all perfectly true.
Brighton: It isn't possible.
Trembly: Yes it is. I did it.

Sorry DV, I didn't realise I gate crashed a private chat room.
The first team is far from fine.
Unless we get taken over by a proper billionaire in the not too distant future, I make this up and coming season make or break time.
It's going to be extremely hard, but if those players above are first team starters, it will be downright impossible.
