1. West Ham

The Hammers may not be the first team that comes to mind when you think about kits, but that is likely to change for some people this season. Umbro has given them three stellar options to choose from, all of which incorporate the team colors very well. The uniformity (no pun intended) is what takes them over the top, as all three uniforms immediately make it clear what team they’re being worn by.

The home kit is mostly claret with just a hint of blue on the sleeves, making for a very clean look with minimal fuss. The blue on the socks works well to complement the heavy amount of claret on the shirt, and the all white shorts.

The away kit is a blue option with a monochromatic gold crest. And the third kit is a pristine white with blue socks. Betway is once again the sponsor, and their logo blends in with the rest of the kit, leading to a very consistent look throughout.

West Ham had a tumultuous season last year, starting with three straight losses before (relatively) turning it around and finishing 13th. With some of the best kits in the league, maybe they can move back up in the table and contend for a spot in a European competition like they have in past years.

All three of these kits are gorgeous, and Umbro should be proud of its effort. We can only hope West Ham can do their kits justice when they play in them this season.
