West Ham new 2019/20 kits revealed - with a 1980s retro look

West Ham have unveiled their new, retro-inspired kits ahead of the 2019/20 Premier League season.

The Hammers have opted for a modern twist on the iconic 1980 FA Cup-winning kit worn by the likes of Billy Bonds and Trevor Brooking on their road to Wembley.

The Umbro kit opts for a retro feel designed to appeal to all generations with a claret V-neck and sky blue chest with tonal stripe design on the home shirt, as well as sky blue sleeves and claret cuffs.

There is also a crest graphic on the back of the neck honouring the 1980 FA Cup winners, the last time the Hammers lifted the historic trophy.

The club will also evoke memories of their Wembley triumph with their all-white awa kit, with a claret and blue striped V-neck and cuffs, 1980 crest graphic and classic white shorts and socks.

Club captain Mark Noble said: “To wear this shirt, especially with the West Ham badge on it – it takes an honest player, hard-working, a player that leaves everything on the pitch and plays for the crest on the shirt.

“When you play for this Club, you join a family and players do realise that this is not just an ordinary Football Club, this is a great Football Club, with a great history, and the shirt represents just that.”

West Ham are preparing for a big year as they look to kick on under Manuel Pellegrini.

The Hammers ended their first season under the Chilean with their first top-ten finish since 2016, prompting high hopes entering the new campaign.

They announced on Wednesday that Andy Carroll, Adrian and Samir Nasri have departed the club after their contracts expired.

The club are also said to be open to the possibility of Lucas Perez and Javier Hernandez leaving, whilst Tony Martinez, Moses Makasi, Noha Sylvestre, Vashon Neufville and Josh Pask will all depart on June 30.

The new West Ham United and Umbro home and away kits can be pre-ordered now at officialwesthamstore.com .
