Third kits are where brands usually get experimental, and the gossip suggests New Balance isn’t holding back for their first West Ham campaign. Rumours are heavily leaning toward a dark base, either deep black or dark navy. To make it pop under the stadium floodlights, the kit is expected to feature vibrant, electric sky blue or neon claret detailing on the collar, cuffs, and branding.
Much like the subtle chevron on the home kit, the third shirt is rumoured to have an abstract, geometric graphic embossed into the fabric, inspired by East London’s industrial architecture and ironworks heritage.
