The new change kit will see the club revert to traditional sky blue for the first time since the 2004/05 campaign and will evoke memories of classic players and teams from over the years. Although there is a firm recognition of the West Ham United heroes of the past, the new shirt, shorts and socks have all been created using the latest in sports technology to form a kit that is visually imposing and performance enhancing.
The striking design features the logo of club sponsors XL Holidays, the woven/embroidered club crest and the club's other main colours of claret and white in an innovative style. The new away shirt is made of a mesh body fabric that is lightweight and breathable with a vented underarm panel to allow optimum heat transfer and a back panel featuring a zonal bodymap design. Whether worn by you or the players, the entire kit will provide a fitting look for West Ham United as the club strives for success in 2008/09.
