There is only one day until Christmas, and there is not a single Tottenham Hotspur jumper in sight.
I’m going through the Spurs online store now and there are surprisingly few Christmas items. You have a Spurs gingerbread ornament ($11), a gift bag ($6!!), children socks ($11), a cockerel globe ($27) that actually looks pretty cool. But no jumper.
It isn’t as if I were going to buy one, but it does change my hoddling plans today. Guess I’ll have to write about no Spurs jumpers instead.
They did have a couple incredible options last year:
I’m not really a fan of those gnome characters, but that is a good looking jumper. The vest also looks not terrible too, but I don’t think the cockerel is big enough.
There were a couple really solid ones a couple years ago too featuring Hugo Lloris, Harry Winks, Jan Vertonghen and Heung-min Son.
Now, if you’re looking for a good Christmas jumper, I recommend heading to Ipswich Town.
The Tractor Boys have more than FIVE offerings to choose from. Here’s my personal favourite:
Now that is a solid Christmas jumper. Beautiful sleeves. Club crest front and centre. Plus a wonderful snapped cracker sash. Who here doesn’t love a sash?
This is the gold standard for Christmas jumpers.
