West Ham United’s 2023/24 Umbro home had all the makings of a classic Hammer shirt. It had a distinctive claret body outfitted with the sleeves in the traditional sky blue secondary colour detail, capped off with broad sleeve cuffs in the primary shade. Moreover, the front exhibited a unique bubble pattern, weaving in to the very fabric the Hammer’s anthem ‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.’ Such design carried a weighted dynamic inside the London Stadium, most especially when the fans belted out the anthem wearing the said shirt.

The visuals featured a scratched and faded look of stripes in white and sky blue. Considering the similarity of the striping pattern to the one seen on the 1991/93 home shirt, the presentation of the design seemed to represent how the club stood the test of time. A wide round collar that was sky blue on the front side and white at the back capped off the jersey’s final look. Umbro was the kit maker of the shirt.

Only the abstract combination of pink, white, and blue geometric shapes on the sleeve cuffs provided some visual activity to the otherwise plain-looking jersey. The vibrant detailing took inspiration from the 100-year-old ship slipway at Thames Ironworks, which was uncovered in the construction of the recently-opened Elizabeth line.
