West Ham United football shirts represent over 125 years of East London footballing tradition and working-class pride. Founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks, the club's distinctive claret and blue colours have been worn through a remarkable history including three FA Cup victories, multiple European campaigns, and most significantly, the 1965-66 season when three West Ham players - Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters - wore the famous claret and blue before lifting the World Cup for England.
The West Ham shirt has graced some of English football's greatest talents, from the legendary Bobby Moore to Paolo Di Canio's spectacular moments, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano's controversial season, and modern heroes like Mark Noble, Declan Rice, and the club's recent European adventures. The shirt represents the Academy of Football's proud tradition of developing homegrown talent alongside the club's evolution into a major European competitor.
The iconic claret and blue colours have defined West Ham since the early 1900s, though the exact shades and designs have evolved significantly. The traditional claret body with blue sleeves has been the foundation, though designers have experimented with hoops, sashes, trim variations, and modern reinterpretations that balance heritage with contemporary aesthetics.
West Ham's kit partnerships have included most major sportswear brands over the decades. Umbro produced their shirts during the glory years of the 1960s-80s, including the iconic designs worn by Moore, Hurst and Peters. Pony brought American flair in the mid-1990s, followed by Fila's Italian styling. Reebok and Umbro returns preceded Adidas taking over in 2013, creating some of the club's most technically advanced and commercially successful designs. More recently, the club has partnered with various manufacturers including Umbro's return, each bringing different interpretations of the claret and blue tradition.
Sponsors have evolved from local businesses to global brands, with names like Dagenham Motors, AVCO Trust, and Dr. Martens becoming part of the club's visual identity before modern sponsors like Betway and current partnerships adorning the famous claret shirts.
The 1965-66 FA Cup winning shirt remains West Ham's most significant jersey. The classic claret body with blue sleeves, worn during their 3-2 victory over Preston North End and throughout the season when three Hammers became World Cup heroes, represents the club at their absolute peak. This Umbro design is treasured by collectors of classic English football shirts.
The 1980 FA Cup winning shirt, featuring the iconic Avco sponsor and worn during Trevor Brooking's famous headed winner against Arsenal, became synonymous with West Ham's last major domestic trophy for 43 years. The simple, clean design captured the club during an era of great tradition.
Pony's 1999 Intertoto Cup winning shirt, worn during Paulo Di Canio's magnificent West Ham career and their memorable run to UEFA Cup qualification, featured a distinctive claret and blue design that's become a cult classic among Hammers supporters.
More recently, Umbro's 2015-16 farewell season shirt at the Boleyn Ground became deeply emotional for fans, representing the final campaign at their spiritual home before moving to the London Stadium. This kit carries immense sentimental value for West Ham supporters.
The Accidental Claret and Blue West Ham's famous claret and blue colours weren't the club's first choice or even second choice. When Thames Ironworks FC transitioned to West Ham United in 1900, they initially wanted to wear the red and white of their ironworks origins. However, the colour dyes weren't available at their supplier, so they chose royal blue and white instead. When those also proved unavailable, the frustrated kit manager simply asked "what DO you have in stock?" The supplier had excess claret and sky blue fabric from a cancelled order for Aston Villa's reserves. West Ham took it, and one of football's most iconic colour combinations was born entirely by accident and supplier availability.
The World Cup Winners Shirt Superstition After Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters won the 1966 World Cup, a superstition developed at West Ham that players who wore their specific shirt numbers (6, 10, and 16 respectively) would have bad luck. Between 1970 and 1995, an unusual number of players wearing these numbers suffered serious injuries or dramatically underperformed. The pattern was so notable that some players refused to take number 6 specifically. The club eventually "cleansed" the numbers with a ceremonial event in 1996, after which the curse supposedly ended - though some older Hammers fans remain convinced it lingers.
The Dr. Martens Boot Logo Mistake When Dr. Martens became West Ham's shirt sponsor in 1993, the deal specified that the iconic "AirWair" boot logo would appear on the shirts. However, for the first batch of replica shirts produced, the printing company mistakenly used the Dr. Martens flower logo instead - a completely different branding element used for their sandals and casual shoes. Thousands of these "wrong logo" shirts were sold before anyone noticed. Dr. Martens initially demanded a recall, but West Ham fans had already embraced them, and they became instant collector's items. Original Dr. Martens flower logo West Ham shirts now sell for significantly more than the correct boot logo versions.
The Tevez and Mascherano Phantom Shirts During the controversial 2006-07 season when Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano signed for West Ham, the club produced replica shirts with their names and numbers (32 and 16). However, due to the third-party ownership complications and legal issues surrounding their transfers, West Ham recalled these shirts mid-season and attempted to destroy remaining stock. Many fans had already purchased them, but the club tried to buy them back, offering free replacement shirts. Most fans refused, realising these would become collectibles. Today, authentic Tevez and Mascherano West Ham shirts from that season are among the most valuable Premier League shirts, with some selling for over £1,000 due to their controversial history and scarcity.
The Invisible Hammers Crest West Ham's 2019-20 home kit featured a unique anti-counterfeiting technology where the club crest was also printed in UV-reactive ink invisible to the naked eye. Under normal light, fans saw the regular crest, but under UV light (like in nightclubs or with special torches), a second, larger crest appeared across the chest. This was designed to help fans identify authentic shirts versus fakes. However, West Ham didn't publicise this feature well, so most fans who bought the shirt never knew about the hidden crest. When the secret was revealed on social media late in the season, it created a surge in demand for that specific kit.
The Payet Printing Shortage When Dimitri Payet had his extraordinary first season at West Ham in 2015-16, demand for shirts with his name was so overwhelming that the club's printing supplier ran out of the specific font lettering three times during the season. They had to emergency order from Premier League backup suppliers, but the replacement fonts were slightly different. This means three distinct "Payet 27" printing styles exist from that single season - early season, mid-season, and late-season versions - each slightly different in letter spacing and font weight. Collectors now seek all three versions, with the mid-season version being rarest.
The London Stadium Move Protest Shirts When West Ham moved from Upton Park to the London Stadium in 2016, a group of fans created unofficial "One More Year at the Boleyn" protest shirts that looked identical to the official kit but had "The Boleyn Ground" subtly woven into the fabric pattern instead of "London Stadium." These weren't counterfeit shirts - they were custom-made authentic blanks with official club crests but unauthorised location text. West Ham initially threatened legal action but eventually acknowledged them as part of the club's history. These protest shirts have become serious collector's items, representing fan resistance to the move and nostalgia for Upton Park.
The Noble Retirement Number Revelation When Mark Noble retired in 2022 after 18 years as a one-club man, the club retired his number 16 shirt. However, during the retirement ceremony, it was revealed that Noble had worn 23 different variations of the number 16 across his career due to kit manufacturer changes, sponsor changes, and design updates. The club created a special display showing all 23 different "Noble 16" shirts, highlighting how much the kit had evolved during his career while he remained constant. This made collectors realise that a "complete" Noble shirt collection would require two dozen different shirts, despite him never changing numbers.
