Tottenham might just avoid the drop in this year’s Premier League.

With the ongoing campaign nearing its conclusion, the eyes are already set on the upcoming off-season and then the next one. And we could see that with how the number of transfer rumours have already been compounding in the recent weeks.

But now there is news that makes it quite realistic that the 2026/27 season is upon us, as the ever-reliable Footy Headlines have leaked the Lilywhites’ home kit for the next campaign.

They have revealed that traditional white design on the base with navy accents that Tottenham are known for around the world. But with all of that there is also that subtle diagonal stripe which is said to be inspired by the iconic Hummel kits that Tottenham donned back in the mid-1980s.

There are expectations that the North Londoners will release their home kit release in May or June, so like the past many campaigns, supporters will again be able to buy their kit for next season before the ongoing season ends regardless of which division Tottenham are playing in.

Tottenham home kit 2026/27: What the leak shows

White remains the dominant colour in the home kit that has been leaked. It has that navy to go with it, which Nike internally refers to as “Binary Blue”.

That navy blue will be used for the swoosh and the club crest. You’d also see the binary blue in the side panels and in the detailing on the sleeve cuff.

The only real design element (as we discussed above) is that faint set of diagonal stripes across the body of the jersey. Let’s be honest that Hummels’ kit is one of the more fondly remembered kits at Hotspur Way, and this one looks like a deliberate nod to that.

Author Opinion: Let’s be honest, this is frustrating

At first glance, many (including me) would think this is again quite a lazy effort from Nike. The home shirts at Tottenham have been quite ordinary and monotonous, especially when compared to other big six clubs.

The diagonal striping and 1980s reference will surely be a warm intake, but this design still doesn’t have that detail and ambition like many leaked kits of Tottenham’s rivals. And that will surely come as a source of frustration for many Tottenham fans.
