New Tottenham Nike kits for 2024/25 season with some surprising shirts
It’s that time of the year when bits of information about the new kits for Premier League clubs start to emerge across the internet

Tottenham Hotspur’s new range of Nike kits will soon start popping up across social media as they do every year but what do we know about them so far?
Spurs first signed their big-money deal with Nike in 2017 and then extended it the following year to a 15-year agreement to last until at least 2033, one of the longest football club deals in the sportwear giant’s history. Reports at the time suggested the deal was worth around £30million a season for the north London outfit.
The new kits are often approved up to a year in advance, which means that leaks regarding the design and colours usually emerge long before their official unveiling. Then versions of the kits appear on shelves in foreign markets months before Tottenham bring them out in the summer, at least one of them often officially on sale in time for their pre-season tours – which this summer will take Spurs back to Asia for a three-match trip which includes two games in captain Son Heung-min’s homeland South Korea.
So what do you know so far about the Tottenham kits that Ange Postecoglou’s men will wear next season, the colours and when they will be released?
Home kit
This year’s home kit was very simple as Tottenham went for the all-white look normally reserved for big European nights, including white shorts and white socks, with the only touch of colour being a navy trim on the sleeves, kit numbers and both the Spurs badge, Nike swoosh and the Cinch logo.
The red AIA logo on the front of the shirt remained as part of that lucrative sponsorship deal despite the colour upsetting some supporters, who associate it with their north London rivals. Spurs did once have their own clothing range labelled NeverRed, which unsurprisingly does not exist any more.
The reliable kit news website Footy Headlines states that the official colours of next season’s Tottenham home shirt in order of amount of use will be white/Binary Blue/Binary Blue. The fact that the Binary Blue, which is the same main navy colour used for Spurs’ 2019/20 away shirt, is mentioned twice suggests more use of it on the home shirt than simply sleeve trims.
It remains to be seen whether the north London club will return to having navy shorts but the use of Binary Blue twice in the official colour scheme would perhaps hint towards that. The Spurs players now also have their own legacy numbers on the back of their shirt necks, to show where they sit in the long list of the club’s players to make their debuts.
England’s Nike home shirt for the Euros this summer has a thick navy collar, leading some to wonder whether the new Tottenham shirt could end up with something similar. That England shirt also has a navy trim down the sides of its trunk, running from underneath the sleeves.
Tottenham normally release their home shirt in either June or occasionally in July, in time for those lucrative summer tours abroad.
Away kit
There appears to be a bit of a departure from the norm with Tottenham’s away kit for the 2024/25 season with the suggestion being that it will be the club’s first light blue away kit in years.
Footy Headlines and YouTube kit expert channel Gol de Sergio both report that the official colours for the second kit are Cobalt Bliss/Royal Tint/Binary Blue. That means that the shirt will combine two shades of light blue with navy used for logos.
Spurs’ away shirts in recent years have been a mixed bag, with this season’s featured a collar look and a first for the club in iridescent logos, to the previous year’s ‘wetsuit’ with the colour messy paint look before that and a green shirt in the 2020/21 campaign.
One of Tottenham’s most recent light blue away tops was the 2015/16 kit, which featured navy stripes down its front.
In terms of the release date, last season the away shirt was officially unveiled in August, the day ahead of the Premier League opener against Brentford
