Spurs revealed their intriguing new shirt in the defeat to Fulham last night with even Ange Postecoglou unsure on whether the kit was partly responsible for the defeat
Tottenham's defeat by Fulham in the Carabao Cup last night has caused a social media frenzy, but not for the reasons you would think.
Ange Postecoglou's side suffered their first defeat of the campaign after losing to the Cottagers 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw, yet it was Spurs' brand new third kit, and not the result, that had everyone talking. Following the reveal of the new shirt fans were discussing everything from how nice a strip it is, to how bad it is while a war of words with fans of bitter rivals Arsenal even broke out.
However, one point of contention seemed to be just what colour the kit is. Upon the kit announcement, Spurs said: "The colour of the shirts, shorts and socks which comprise our new third kit is Taupe Haze, complemented by black trim. This represents the first time in the club’s history that we have worn this colour on the pitch." Yet people on social media seemed undecided.
