West Ham unveil 2020/21 home kit to commemorate 125-year anniversary

West Ham have unveiled a commemorative home kit for their 125th anniversary that will be worn throughout the 2020/21 season.

The Hammers are fighting to retain their spot in the Premier League for their anniversary and have now given the first look at the smart kit they will be wearing next season.

The club says the kit is 'inspired by the Club’s greatest period, which saw the foundation of the world-famous Academy of Football, FA Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup triumphs and three Hammers lead England to FIFA World Cup glory'.

It adds the kit is a 'modern classic with a nod to our glorious past' and was consulted with supporters 'resulting in a striking strip that looks as good at home as it does on the pitch.'

"As a boy, my Dad would tell me all about Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters, about the Academy of Football and how we were one of the most entertaining teams in the world," captain Mark Noble said.

“This kit instantly reminds me of those the legends wore when they won the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup.

“While we all want to experience more success in the future, West Ham United is a club that will always remember its past and pay respects to its heritage, and this kit does that perfectly.”
