Images of next season’s new West Ham kit have emerged and the bubbles pattern is seriously dividing opinion among supporters.

West Ham fans on social media will be aware that a photoshoot took place back in May for the new 2023/24 kit, as reported by Hammers News and a host of other sites at the time.

A group of Hammers supporters were invited to take part in the shoot at both the London Stadium and Carpenter’s Arms pub.

There they mixed with former players, legends and some current stars for the shoot.

Images of the new West Ham kit emerge and bubbles pattern is seriously dividing opinion among some supporters

There was speculation that would be the case but West Ham did not launch the kit ahead of the 3-1 win over Leeds.

Descriptions of the strip were provided to Hammers News and other sites with the new West Ham kit likened to the classic Fila shirt from 2001-2003.

The Umbro shirt was also said to feature a bubbles pattern too.

The new 23/24 West Ham home shirt was then leaked online when a picture of Brazilian star Lucas Paqueta sporting the bubble emblazoned strip was posted on social media.

Now images of next season’s new West Ham kit have emerged and the bubbles pattern is seriously dividing opinion among supporters.

A website has published ‘leaked’ CGI images of next season’s West Ham kit.

Bubbles pattern draws comparisons to Lego, cheese and the moon

The pictures have reportedly been floating around on social media for the last few weeks before being picked up by the site.

But most West Ham fans are saying the same thing – they really don’t like the bubble pattern on the strip.

What may have seemed a good idea is not going down too well with West Ham fans judging by comments on social, fan forums and in Hammers circles on WhatsApp.

West Ham’s Pony centenary kit featured a bubbles pattern. But that had the numbers 100 inside the bubbles to great effect.

The mixture of different sized bubbles on the new strip has fans disappointed, though.

Many have remarked it makes it look like a Lego kit, craters on the moon or cheese.
