LEAK: Tottenham to get a black away kit in 2025/26

Who is ready for kit leak season? I SAID WHO'S READY FOR KIT LEA…

Well, I'll just give you the news. The 2024-25 Premier League season hasn't even started for four weeks, the green third kits were only officially unveiled less than two weeks ago, and already there are leaks about Tottenham Hotspur's 2025-26 kits.

Well, I say “leaks,” but they are hardly that – basically just color samples. That is, they are interesting Colour pattern. According to football kit leaking website Footy-Headlines, Tottenham are expected to have a BLACK AWAY KIT next season and it's pretty remarkable!

Spurs haven't had a black kit for a decade, but the history of black third kits is, er, pretty sketchy. The last time Spurs had a primarily black kit was the infamous “skidmark” away kits of 2014-15, and before that it was the weird black and grey halfsies kits of 2012-13 – see cover photo – which were pretty much universally derided (and which Spurs oddly wore more often that season than the blue away kits).

And yes, the details in the Footy Headlines leak are important because it's not JUST black, it's also “Lt Iron Ore,” a shade of grey that could be used as an accent or be another base color. Since this is Nike, I fully expect them to release a template that's essentially Barcelona's training kit this season, or something like that. We'll see.

Speaking of iron ore, that's also one of two accent colors that will be used on next season's home kits, along with “Anchor Blue,” which is also used on this year's home kits, which were also recently linked on the same website. Again, no design details, but it sounds like we'll be getting a white kit with some blue AND gray next season.

Here we go. Let the speculation about the kit design begin! And remember: it probably won't be as good as you imagine!
