The West Ham official site has dropped an exciting kit reveal ahead of a club first for the Carabao Cup clash against Lincoln.

West Ham get kick off domestic cup action with a trip to Lincoln City on Wednesday night.

The Carabao Cup third round clash will be an eighth game of the new season for the Hammers and their third competition.

After their Europa League opener on Thursday night, West Ham were away at Liverpool on Sunday and now face League One Lincoln on Wednesday night in what we traditionally know as the League Cup.

Like in the European group games, David Moyes likes to give his West Ham squad players a chance of game time and is set to make wholesale changes for Carabao Cup tie – which must be settled on the night.

But it will undoubtedly still be a strong West Ham team which takes to the field which reflects the depth of quality in the Hammers squad.

The team will not be too dissimilar to the side which started the 3-1 win over Serbian league leaders FK TSC Backa Topola on Thursday night but perhaps with one or two youngsters involved, certainly from the bench.

International Hammers stars such as Mohammed Kudus, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Tomas Soucek, Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals, Maxwel Cornet and Thilo Kehrer could feature.

And seasoned Premier League performers such as Danny Ings and Lukasz Fabianski too as Moyes rings the changes from the Liverpool game.

They will not be the only changes Hammers fans will being seeing, though, it seems.

People will instantly recognise pattern on kit

Because the West Ham official site has dropped an exciting kit reveal ahead of a club first for the Carabao Cup clash against Lincoln.

In the club’s official preview for the cup tie, they have announced West Ham will be wearing their new navy blue third kit for the first time this season.

“For the first time this season, the Hammers will wear the 2023/24 Third Kit,” the official site has revealed.

The strip features a triangulated pattern which West Ham fans will recognise as the iconic floodlights at the London Stadium.

That theme is also present in the sky-blue triangle details at the V-neck collar and sleeves.

Keep an eye out for Fabianski in goal – not that you’ll miss him

But keep an eye out for Fabianski in the West Ham goal – not that you’ll be able to miss him. The goalkeeper kit for the third strip is the brightest of bright pinks with neon green strips on the sleeves, shorts and socks.

Umbro’s third kit has largely gone down well with West Ham fans since being launched after a mixed reception for the home and away kits.

The majority of supporters are not too fond of this season’s bubble design home kit.

But Umbro redeemed themselves with a fantastic effort on the beautiful white with claret trim away kit.

You can see the third kit being modelled by Kehrer, Soucek and Fabianski here and watch the video which accompanied its release below.
