The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Tuesday, April 14

Hello, all!

We have former Tottenham defender Jason Cundy at the top today. I promise I’m not picking pictures of people in the 1992 away shirt on purpose (but I do still love it).

Ramble of the Day

I’ve got a question: Which kits do you own? For me, it’s quite a lot.

My sisters and I have a shared collection, and if we’re not counting repeats, we have 33. The tops ended up in our collection for a few reasons: the obvious one is supporting a team, and a few were impulse buys from our travels, while a number of them are just random ones we ran into that were cheaper than usual. To list the ones you’re looking at, from left to right:

• Rimini FC, home
• Vintage Tampa Bay Mutiny, away
• Afghanistan women, home
• Vintage Chivas USA, home
• Næstved BK, home
• United States, 2019 home
• United States, 2014 away
• United States, 2019 away
• Portland Timbers, 2017 home
• The Netherlands, 2019 home
• United States men, 2017 Gold Cup
• France women, 2019 away
• Bayern Munich, 2014-15 home
• Albania, 2016 home
• AS Roma, 2015-16 home
• Australia women, 2019 home
• Belgium, 2018 home
• United States men, 2010 away
• New York Red Bulls, 2011 away
• Tottenham Hotspur, 2012-13 home
• Atlético Madrid, 2018-19 home
• New York Red Bulls, 2010 home
• Colombia, 2018 home
• Bayern Munich, 2018-19 away
• Seattle Sounders, 2017 third
• Valenciennes, home
• Tottenham Hotspur, 2014-15 home
• New York Red Bulls, 2018 home
• Tottenham Hotspur, 2015-16 third
• Vintage Miami Fusion, home
• New York Red Bulls, 2015 home
• Tottenham Hotspur, 2013-14 goalkeeper
• New York Red Bulls, 2014 away

I didn’t realize how many it was until my sisters and I decided to find out, and it really is no wonder that we’ve had to find three different places to house them all.

tl;dr: What does your kit collection look like? (Big or small, all are welcome.)
