West Ham reveal new kits for 2018-19 season as club legends model latest design

West Ham have called on club legends Sir Trevor Brooking and Billy Bonds, alongside current favourites, to launch their new kit for the 2018/19 season.

Alongside FA Cup winners Bonds and Brooking, both Jack Collison and Carlton Cole modelled the new Umbro home and away kits.

Of the current crop, captain Mark Noble, Hammer of the Year Marko Arnautovic and Young Hammer of the Year Declan Rice, as well as West Ham Ladies stars Ellie Zoepfl and Andria Georgiou tried on the new traditionally claret and blue home strip, as well as the dark teal away number.

Former captain Bonds said: “The first time I put on a Claret and Blue shirt was against Sheffield Wednesday at Upton Park in ’67. We were a couple of goals up and lost 3-2, and there would be a lot more of that down the years as we were a very entertaining team.

“I had to give my shirt to the kit man to take away and wash, as it’s not like the modern day when you can take the shirt home or give it away, but I did keep my best four shirts from the two FA Cup finals, the European Cup Winners’ Cup final and League Cup final.

“It’s an honour to wear the Claret and Blue shirt when you think of all the great players who have worn it, too. I was very lucky and I’m very proud.”

Noble added: “Because I loved playing football and grew up around West Ham, if I was lucky, I got the whole kit for my Christmas or birthday present. I had all the kits up until I started playing in the Academy.

“Unveiling the kit is the start of a new season and the start of hoping and working hard. The new kit is a fresh start ahead of trying to make it a special one and one to remember.”

Both kits go on sale on Friday, June 8.
