The Tottenham Hotspur crest was first introduced in 1930. It was created to counter the use of pirate replica kits. It was worn on off-white cashmere shirts with white collars. The crest featured a cockerel mounted on a shield.
The cockerel was an obvious nod to the club's famous history as the home of Harry Hotspur, who was a keen fan of cockfighting. The cockerel motif became a permanent feature on Tottenham's shirts. The crest was also the first example of an animal crest to appear in the Football League.
The club's first kit was manufactured by Kappa. SpursShirt were also available in Peruvian cotton, which were manufactured by Umbro. The Umbro partnership lasted until the late 1970s.
The badge worn between 1927 and 1930 had a cockerel standing up, while the badge worn in 1927-1928 has a narrower profile. The badge was used until 1995, when Tottenham Hotspur adopted a new crest. The new crest was similar to the badge worn from 1967-1982.
The crest was used on Tottenham's home and away shirts until 1995. The Spurs Shirt includes examples of every kit that the club has worn since the 1960s. The Spurs Shirt also includes shirts worn by the club's legendary players including Ricky Villa, Bill Nicholson and Steve Perryman. The book is also full of myths and stories about the club's history, including its origins and the names of its first players.
