West Ham’s 08/09 away kit is strikingly blue and refreshingly so. The sponsors’ XL logo takes center stage in white with claret and white stripes running horizontally on below the neck (claret) with the Umbro logo on the right and West Ham crest on the left.

Some people have criticised this kit but I think Umbro have done an excellent job with this design and the West Ham 08/09 away kit is one of the better ones around (especially when matched up against the likes of the Liverpool away kit).

Like many of the other clubs that recently switched from Reebok as their kit manufacturer, West Ham United went another direction in manufacturer and color. Completely switching from a navy blue away kit to an all white away kit is something that is worth looking at, and in my opinion is 100% better.

Simplicity is the key, and simple is what Umbro and West Ham United managed to do with this kit. With a solid field of white, little was done to make this kit have too much going on. Add the burgandy and light blue to a few diamonds on the shoulders and that is really all there is to it. Aside from the crest, Umbro logo and sponsor log (which is the same light blue as the shoulders and crest), there is not really much else to it. Which is why it is one of the best looking kits in the Premiership this season. Great work on this one Umbro and West Ham United!

West Ham United will venture into the 2007-08 Premiership Campaign in a stylish kit made by Umbro. Using the color scheme from the traditional West Ham United Crest, Umbro and West Ham management came up with an exceptional looking kit that is sure to be a crowd pleaser over the course of the season.

With the traditional burgandy playing the role of main color and the sleeves being highlighted with the light blue of the outline of the crest makes this a kit worth looking at. Add a couple of the Umbro diamonds on the shoulders, the West Ham United Crest on the left chest, Umbro logo on the right chest and the sponsor logo in all white (which brings out the white in the colloar and shoulders nicely) and you have one of the nicest West Ham United kits in a long time.
