6. Tottenham

Nike made the absolute most out of Tottenham’s home and away kits with minimal designs and colors. In fact, the Spurs home design is almost entirely white, but somehow looks like the freshest kit in the league.

Tottenham moved on from Under Armour this season and they have to be pleased with the results from their new kit sponsor.

Even while sporting one of the largest sponsor logos in the Premier League can’t mask the fact that these home kits are crisp. In fact, it’s hard to even mind the “AIA” in the middle of the jersey. The sharp black accents on the side that stop halfway down are eye-candy, as well as the two thin lines around the collar.

Sometimes, leaving something out is more important than putting something in. For example, if Nike had decided to put a flipped down collar instead of keeping the neck area clean, I wouldn’t have had these kits ranked this high. Also, Nike removed the ugly yellow accents from the previous version. Getting rid of yellow will continue to be one of the best moves available to manufacturers.

Spurs’ away kits are nearly identical in style with the color scheme switching from white/black to blue/white.

It’s no surprise Tottenham and Manchester City have kits that look very similar, both being made by Nike, but I’m still left scratching my head at why their alternates could be long lost twins.

For one, if you’re going to go with a camouflage look, purple isn’t the first choice color. Mixing that with a shade of yellow/green shouldn’t be the second choice either.
