Is This The New Home Kit? (Revisited)

Last Friday I posted a mock-up of the design for the new West Ham United home kit. It is based on the newly released Umbro templates and I said at the time it was probably as accurate a guess as is currently available. Well, the creator of that image- the genius that is Jackhammer- has now tweaked his effort to reveal what he believes is an even more accurate representation of what we will be wearing come the new season. As you can see there are several small detail alterations and one big change with the collar.

There is also official confirmation that the Club will be unveiling the new home kit on Monday 21 July and will be taking pre-orders ahead of the official launch date of Wednesday 30 July. The brand new strip will again be available exclusively via the club stores at the Boleyn Ground and Lakeside and also through the official web-based Megastore.

The new kit has been made using Umbro's new Trilogy fabric, a thermodynamic performance enhancing material designed to control vapour, moisture and heat. The blurb says it has a "unique contrast v neckline featuring a white mock collar, solid sky sleeves and tonal striped jacquard throughout the main body".
