The Claret and Blue Legacy: Design Story

For the 2024/25 campaign, Umbro delivers a home jersey that stays true to West Ham’s iconic colours – a deep claret body paired with vibrant blue sleeves. This classic combination is instantly recognizable and steeped in history. The design for this season might feature subtle details that pay homage to the club’s heritage or the vibrant East London community. Look closely for potential:

• Unique collar details
• Subtle patterns or textures woven into the fabric
• Ribbed cuffs or hem accents
• Commemorative inner neck graphics

The club crest is proudly displayed on the chest, alongside the Umbro double diamond logo. The primary sponsor’s logo is heat-pressed onto the front, completing the on-pitch look tailored for supporters.

Comfort Meets Craftsmanship: Fan Version Features

The Fan Version, also known as the Stadium version, is engineered with supporter comfort as the top priority. Umbro utilizes a durable yet breathable polyester fabric that feels comfortable against the skin, making it perfect for wearing all day, whether you’re at the stadium, the pub, or just out and about.

• Standard Fit: Offers a more relaxed, comfortable feel compared to the slim player version, suitable for a wide range of body types.
• Breathable Fabric: While not as technologically advanced as the player version, the material still provides decent moisture-wicking capabilities to help you stay relatively dry and comfortable during moments of tension or excitement.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand regular wear and washing, ensuring you can show your colours season after season.
• Embroidered Crest & Logos: The club crest and Umbro logo are typically embroidered on the fan version, giving them a premium, long-lasting finish (distinct from the heat-pressed versions on authentic kits).

Fan vs. Authentic: Making the Right Choice

Choosing between the Fan Version and the Authentic Version (sometimes called Match or Pro version) is a common dilemma. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you decide which West Ham 2024/25 home shirt is right for you:

• Fit:

  • Fan Version: Standard, more relaxed fit. Designed for comfort in everyday wear. More forgiving.
  • Authentic Version: Slim, athletic fit. Designed to contour to a player’s body for performance, can feel restrictive for casual wear.

• Fabric & Feel:

  • Fan Version: Standard polyester, slightly heavier and more durable feel. Comfortable for casual use.
  • Authentic Version: Lighter, often more textured or engineered performance fabric (like Umbro’s specific player tech). Designed for optimal moisture wicking and airflow. Feels like a second skin.

• Technology:

  • Fan Version: Uses standard breathable fabric technology suitable for casual comfort.
  • Authentic Version: Incorporates Umbro’s advanced performance technologies specifically engineered for elite athletic performance, focusing on rapid drying and ventilation.

• Badges & Logos:

  • Fan Version: Embroidered crest and Umbro logo (more durable for washing).
  • Authentic Version: Heat-pressed crest and Umbro logo (lighter, lies flat against the fabric, less likely to cause irritation during play).

• Price:

  • Fan Version: More accessible price point.
  • Authentic Version: Premium price due to advanced technology and materials.

• Recommended For:

  • Fan Version: Watching matches (live or on TV), casual everyday wear, showing support, comfortable fit preferred.
  • Authentic Version: Playing football, serious training, collecting exact player-spec items, preference for a performance fit and feel.

The Fan Version is the perfect choice for the vast majority of supporters looking for comfort, durability, and an authentic look to proudly represent West Ham.

Sizing and Fit

The Fan Version features a Standard Fit. This means it’s designed to be comfortable and not overly tight. We recommend consulting the specific size chart provided to find your perfect fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider ordering one size up from your usual size. If you prefer a closer, more athletic fit, you might consider the Authentic version instead, but note its fit is significantly tighter.
