Tottenham Hotspur Football Club wore a specially designed Nike kit during their FA Cup third round match against Aston Villa. The first Spurs kit of 2026 commemorates the 125th anniversary of Tottenham’s first FA Cup victory in 1901, a triumph that began the club’s FA Cup legacy now totaling eight titles. The limited-edition shirt represents a collaboration between the North London club and Nike, blending historical significance with contemporary design.
The special edition 1901 FA Cup 125th Anniversary shirt features distinctive design elements that honor the club’s heritage. Central to the design is a heritage crest rendered in Lilywhite, the traditional white color associated with Tottenham. Sponsor logos also appear in Lilywhite, maintaining visual consistency across the shirt.
Departing from modern conventions, the kit omits player surnames on the back, displaying only shirt numbers—a nod to the simpler aesthetic of early 20th-century football. This minimalist approach reflects the era when Tottenham first claimed FA Cup glory, becoming the only non-league team to win the competition.
Nike and Tottenham have elevated the presentation of this commemorative release beyond standard retail packaging. The jersey arrives in a premium presentation pack designed to celebrate the shirt’s historical context.
Inside, purchasers find player cards, a replica ticket from the 1901 FA Cup Final, and a certificate of authenticity bearing a limited-edition number. The package includes branded tissue paper and concludes with a wax seal marked “1901,” reinforcing the kit’s connection to that pivotal year in club history.
