Tottenham have launched their away kit for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
The club have embraced their all-black strip with the tagline: 'In darkness we dare', which they say is "a twist on our renowned motto" of 'to dare is to do'.
While Spurs believe it to be a "a bold look" for the return of Champions League away nights, what do you make of it?

Ange Postecoglou's key address of his players hours before Tottenham's Europa League final victory has surfaced and shows a manager tapping into the emotions of his players.
The talk is proving popular on social media. Here, BBC Sport presents Postecoglou's words shared at the team hotel before Spurs' 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao:
"From the day I arrived, it was about family.
"We are not in this position just because of our football. We are in this position because all of you, plus the staff, have stuck together like family through the tough times. And we're going to need that today.
"Remember why we do this. It's not just about winning things - it's about paying back, giving to people who love us, who make sacrifices for us.
"So you walk out today not just 11 brothers. You walk out today with all of us with you, with all those people with you, thousands in the stadium with you, hundreds of thousands back home with you.
"We are the biggest army. And they can't stop us. They can't stop us. What we have can't be stopped.
"Just go out there, play our football, be like a family and at the end of the game when he's lifting that trophy, you are going to make all those people prouder than they have ever been in their life."
Who is Spurs target Takai?published at 17:02 24 June

Japanese defender Kota Takai is set to join Tottenham from Kawasaki Frontale for £5m – a record fee for a J-League player moving abroad - but who is he?
Takai has a wealth of experience for his age, playing the first of his 77 senior games in the Asian equivalent of the Champions League at just 17-years-old.
He featured at the 2024 Olympic Games for Japan and has since won four senior caps, with his debut coming in a 7-0 victory over China just a day after his 20th birthday in September 2024.
He is athletic, 6ft 3 inches tall, comfortable on the ball and has an eye for a pass. Takai has completed almost 2,000 passes in the J-League since the start of last season with an 88% success rate, which ranks him 15th among all defenders.
In April, he showcased many of his qualities when he marked Cristiano Ronaldo as Frontale defeated Al-Nassr 3-2 in the AFC Champions League Elite semi-final.
Spurs fans of a certain vintage will remember the club's only previous Japanese player, Kazuyuki Toda. He joined on loan from Shimizu S-Pulse in January 2003 and made just four appearances under then manager Glenn Hoddle.
It's fair to say that much bigger things are expected of Takai.

Tottenham will target 26-year-old Crystal Palace and England winger Eberechi Eze, after losing ground in their race to sign Brentford's Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo following Manchester United's improved offer for the 25-year-old worth more than £60m. (Talksport), external
New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank was keen to be reunited with Mbeumo, while there has also been interest in the forward from other Champions League clubs.
Earlier this month, United had an offer of £45m, plus up to £10m in add-ons, rejected for the 25-year-old.
Sources have suggested Brentford would want at least the £62.5m fee Wolves received for Matheus Cunha before they agree to the sale of a player who still has a year left on his contract.
'Should be allowed to do whatever he wants' - fans on Son's futurepublished at 09:51 19 June

With the future of Son Heung-min still unclear, we asked for your thoughts on whether the Tottenham captain should be given a new deal.
Here are some of your comments:
Peter: Give Son another two years as captain. May only play one game a week but hisleadership to younger players - on and off the pitch - is so valuable.
Frank: Son has been a great player and ambassador for Spurs. Head says sell now but heart says let him choose his own path as a reward/thank you.
Conrad: Son should be allowed to do whatever he wants. He is a club legend. Signed a new deal when Harry Kane was off and could have easily gone to a European giant years ago. Leave the decision to him!
Clare: This is such a difficult one. On a personal level, I don't want Sonny to leave (ever!) and I understand the reasoning in selling him with his levels dropping off last season, but you can't ignore the impact he makes in coming on and his assists. I feel that with our young squad and with a new manager and coaching staff we need Son there as a stabilising influence too. But, knowing how Daniel Levy and the board are they will grab the £34m or whatever it is on offer.
Adam: Unfortunately he's been pretty poor for two of past three seasons. I think the expectations of a nation, game time and travelling have taken their toll. Forever a Spurs legend. Sell him to wherever he wants to go and build him a statue!
Charlie: With Thomas Frank in charge, I'd feel Son will benefit more. Let's face it. The season just gone everyone scored more goals but no-one was an outright goal machine due to how ange had the team set up. I'd say give him this season. If by March/April, he wants to extend then offer it to him. If not, build a statue and let him go wherever he wants for free. He's been an absolute saint for spurs and seeing his emotions with James Maddison after the Europa League win, he can leave with his head so high, he'd have to duck out the stadium.
Sally: Yes, give him a two-year deal. His assist stats are still good, if he has a better striker playing with him, he will score more too!

Following the release of the 2025-26 Premier League fixtures, we asked you to have your say on how the schedule has fallen and where Tottenham might be after 10 games.
Here are some of your comments:
Robert: Interesting start to the season, with the first match at home against newly promoted Burnley and the return of Scott Parker, followed by a trip to Manchester City. Toughest months are November and February. Overall, first 10 games aren't too bad and I hope we'll be somewhere in the top four.
Martin: Top six.
Paul: Thomas Frank could not have asked for a better start on paper. By the time the big boys come round, they will hopefully be playing as a team, which was sadly missing last season. I think they will be top six after 10 games, or even better. I wish you all the best, Thomas.
Phil: Unless he does a massive cull of players - Richardson, Solanke, Bissouma, etc - we will be in the same position as we ended last season. We need Williams Jr from Spain, Mbeumo and a decent defence to get anywhere.
Gog: No way this season can be predicted as yet. One thing is clear, a worse league campaign will result in relegation.
Jack: Thomas the Frank Engine to take us to the top! Or struggle and sacked by Christmas! Who knows with Tottenham...
Edward: This is quite a tricky question to answer. If we can get the players we really want in the transfer market then I would think we could be inside the top 10. Players will already be trying very hard to impress the new manager so we should be 10th at worst. I would be surprised if we aren't.
Andrew: Mid-table unless we sign some more exciting players.

Fans have been warned by the Premier League that fixtures could be moved at "relatively short notice" next season because of the number of teams playing in Europe.
A record nine top-flight clubs have qualified for continental competition in the 2025-26 campaign.
The Premier League said there is an "increased likelihood" that games will be re-scheduled if English teams reach the latter stages and it suggested fans take this into consideration when planning their attendance at games.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham will be playing in the Champions League next season.
Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have qualified for the Europa League, while Nottingham Forest will be playing in the Conference League.
"While the Premier League celebrates this success, it will come with an impact on the scheduling of league matches," a statement from the Premier League said.
"There is an increased likelihood of Premier League fixtures moving at relatively short notice, after our fixture announcements, should our clubs progress to the knockout rounds of these competitions."

Would you give Son a new deal, Tottenham fans?published at 17:41 17 June

Son Heung-min just completed his 10th campaign as a Tottenham player and there are questions marks over the forward's future in north London as he enters the final 12 months of his contract.
BBC Sport's Sami Mokbel reported earlier today that Son could leave the club before next season amid interest from Saudi Arabia though any exit for the forward is likely to be delayed until after Spurs' summer trip to South Korea.
The 32-year-old's output did start to drop in 2024-25, scoring only 11 goals in all competitions despite featuring in 46 games, including 37 starts, and playing more than 3000 minutes.
It was Son's lowest goal tally in a single campaign for Spurs in nearly a decade, since he scored eight times during his debut season with the club in 2015-16.
He averages 12.7 Premier League goals per season but scored only seven in 2024-25. His shot conversion rate this season was just 12.5% - when he jointly won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2021-22, it was 24.2%.
However, it's not all negative data. Son provided 11 assists in all competitions in 2024-25 – a tally he has only ever bettered once for the club.
Based on those numbers, would you give him a new deal, Tottenham fans?
'A hazardous job predicting what will happen with Spurs' - McNulty published at 14:55 17 June

Over on our live page our chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions.
Tom asked: Phil, as a Spurs fan I go into the window with the same resigned anxiety as ever, that the club will low-ball offers until the final week of the window in the hope of getting a deal. Given that strategy and the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, I'd have not been surprised if people had tried to warn Thomas Frank off the Spurs job. With all that in mind, do you think the hierarchy changes in the boardroom and other high levels will change anything at the club, or are we doomed to "rebuild" every two years as has been the way since Pochettino was unceremoniously booted?
Phil McNulty: Hello, Tom. There does appear to be change behind the scenes, and Thomas Frank will have surely sought the necessary assurances before leaving Brentford.
There is already talk of a move for Bryan Mbeumo, Frank's former player at Brentford, while Mathys Tel has been signed and sealed.
Will things really change at Spurs? Who knows?
It is a hazardous job predicting what will happen with Spurs. After all, chairman Daniel Levy sacked all the managers who failed to win trophies then also sacked Ange Postecoglou, the one who did.
I do actually think there is the basis of really good squad for Frank to work with, augmented by a couple of quality additions.
Any Son exit likely to be after Spurs' summer tourpublished at 11:39 17 June

Tottenham's tour of South Korea is emerging as a factor in the future of captain Son Heung-min amid interest in the forward from Saudi Arabia.
Son's future at Spurs is unclear given he has just 12 months left on his contract, with clubs in the Middle East looking at capitalising on the uncertainty.
But while well-placed sources have indicated Son could yet leave before next season, any exit for the forward is likely to be delayed until after the summer trip to the forward's homeland, with any absence likely to risk complications with tour organisers.
Sell Son, buy Mbeumo? Fans on transferspublished at 11:13 17 June

As the transfer window is now open again until 1 September, we asked for you to tell us one player you want to bring to Tottenham and one player you want the club to sell.
Here are some of your comments:
Bob: Cash in on Son Heung-min. He's past his best and has won his trophy - surely now his time has come to move on? Buy the Brentford two: Bryan Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa.
Daniel: Eberechi Eze in! We need a replacement for Son who is ageing and he's the man. Sorry Richarlison, but your time here is up.
David: We really need to sign Mbeumo. Thomas Frank knows what he is capable of and the player understands his coach's expectations. We should sell Yves Bissouma. He has had some better games in the Europa League, but overall his passing and discipline have cost us goals.
Dan: Sell Rodrigo Bentancur, buy Adam Wharton.
Martin: Sell Son. An absolute legend for us but deserves to finish on a pretty much guaranteed high. Buy Alejandro Garnacho. Young, and hungry to prove his place. We need to rebuild a young, talented squad.
Richie: I'd sell Bissouma. Get the cash and upgrade by purchasing Wharton. Make the midfield solid so they can support the defence and attack with a proper spine. Something we seemed to lack under Ange.
