West Ham United 17-18 Away Kit Released
May 26, 2017, by Chris
English Premier League club West Ham United today launched their away kit for the 2017-18 season. It is the same kit West Ham's Italian defender Angelo Ogbonna accidentally revealed two weeks ago.
Umbro Head of Marketing Jason Fairclough said: "The 2017/18 season sees the reintroduction of the famous running diamond to Umbro's kits. First introduced in 1977, it was an iconic staple to Umbro kits for decades. Forty years after its first introduction the taping now returns as a visual statement."

This is the new West Ham United 2017-18 away jersey.
Combining the main color black with turquoise blue applications, the new West Ham 17-18 away kit is the first-ever black West Ham United away jersey in history. It comes with a turquoise blue monochromatic version of the club crest.
West Ham United captain Mark Noble said: "It's a really smart kit! I like the dark-colored kits and you can wear this one with a pair of jeans as easily as when you are playing football with your mates."
The West Ham United 17-18 away kit features Umbro's classic diamond pattern and a Union Jack motif harking back to the Club's origins as Thames Ironworks FC.
Black shorts and socks, both with blue applications, complete the new West Ham 2017-18 away kit.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
