When the lilywhite just isn’t right, and the away kit causes a clash, it’s time to call on the third kit. Here are the 10 best third kits in Tottenham Hotspur’s history.

Third kits may have come to prominence more since the turn of the millennium, but Tottenham have actually had alternative outfits since the early 1980s.

Usually, a home-and-away kit does the job, but third kits are handy to ensure a kit clash doesn’t occur. They are also a great excuse for kit manufacturers to be a little more outlandish, as Nike has proven in recent years.

As we wait to see what Ange Postecoglou‘s side will be wearing next season, it’s time to go back in time and break down the ten best third kits Tottenham have ever used.
10. Nike yellow – 2020/21

The tri-tone blend of different shades of yellow is subtle but really effective on this kit, and the navy blue trims offer a perfect contrast. The best bit though" The badge and Nike logo are aligned centrally rather than on the chest ? something we hardly ever see from Tottenham kits.

9. Nike bright blue – 2019/20

Some fans weren’t keen on this one back at the time of release, but what’s not to like" The kit has a vibrant base colour, a nice collar, and a really interesting texture to it thanks to the subtle pattern in the shirt which harks back to retro kits of the 1990s.
