New ‘classic’ kits have gone down well with majority of fans
The away kit officially launched on Friday and the majority of fans seem pleased with what Umbro have served up so far such an important milestone season.
The new third strip will be black and gold according to Ex, who says it is the best of the three.
“In my eyes it’s by far the nicest kit out the three,” ExWHUemployee said on Twitter.

Now it appears a picture of the new kit has just been leaked online.
The picture, which has not been verified, was posted by a West Ham fan on Twitter.

If that is the new third kit, it vindicates comparisons with the famous Juventus third strip from five years ago.
West Ham fans will be hoping the new kits can inspire a better season next term.
It is not clear when the new kit will be officially announced or released.
But with the new campaign just six weeks away, that will surely be sooner rather than later.
