"In Darkness We Dare"

Does it come in black?

Tottenham Hotspur's motto is: "To dare is to do." To make themselves sound more like the SAS than ever before (as in the Special Air Service—not Sutton and Shearer or Sturridge and Suárez), the club have launched a black away kit with the phrase: "To dare in darkness." Like when DAVID drove blindfolded at a friend's stag do... under supervision, of course.

It would be easy to make a Spinal Tap joke here, but DAVID wants to save that material for the sequel. Instead, let's say Nike’s 2025-26 effort has a whiff of 'Spider-Man 3', wherein the black suit made Peter Parker all evil and such. Here, the black suit makes everyone a little cockier, more aggressive, and/or mischievous. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario's 'assimilation' is also inspired by the symbiote scourge.

Teammates Djed Spence and Dominic Solanke are also fired up by the kit (the latter even transforms into a £65 million anime forward). New manager Thomas Frank could do with a Super Saiyan strike rate from him.
