1960-61
A historic season as Tottenham became the first club since Aston Villa in 1897 to win the English league and cup double.
Umbro’s ‘Continental’ style was now used for the primary and secondary outfield shirts – in 1959-60, the home had a v-neck but may not have been Umbro as the crest was on a patch. The navy away had previously had a collar. Socks were produced by Litesome.
For the FA Cup final win over Leicester City, ‘Wembley 1961’ text was added below the cockerel crest. Initially, goalkeeper Bill Brown’s shirt for the final was to have a navy crest but it proved to be hard to discern against the green.

While the construction of the kits was still at the cutting edge in terms of technology, the removal of any contrasting trim served to give a classic look – a sense increased by the fact that, for the first time since the late 1960s, the change kit was a straight reversal of the home.

Like the previous season, Tottenham had white, blue and yellow shirts but the interchangeability was very much reduced. For the first time, the home shirt had navy sleeves while the away was a Wimbledon-like royal blue and yellow.
The white shorts from the third kit were used with the home shirt at Newcastle but, with the navy third socks having yellow as the secondary colour, the 2004-05 third socks were used as home alternatives.

Synopsis
For the first time, Tottenham were clad in Nike kits and the first offerings went down a fairly classic route, with the pleasing bonus of an away shirt that reversed the home, though the same navy shorts were the default.
The ‘third kit’ didn’t provide any solutions to clashes that the away might have met and was instead a European second kit, worn only against Real Madrid and Juventus in the Champions League.
