The link between Spurs the football club and American Football is tenuous to put it mildly.
You can put a cow and a goat together, but they will never ever do anything together more tantalising than chow down on the same stretch of grass.
So the Harry Kane American Football jersey is a remarkably ambitious attempt at branding synergy.
Much like one of those ‘limited edition’ commemorative plates you can buy when there’s a royal wedding on.
That’s a camera man behind Harry, because this garment will NEVER be worn by anyone for an actual game
At a mere £95 + shipping this is a curio by anyone’s standards.
Shy of wearing a top with ‘Go Sports!’ emblazoned across it, it’s difficult to imagine a more uncomfortable garment.
This basically says you’re the kinda guy who can’t go to the cinema without spending £30 on snacks and drinks.
The kinda guy who replies to team sheet tweets with comments like, ‘I really think we’ll win today!’, or ‘You can do it! #believe’.
This is not so much cynical as deeply worrying – that Levy &Co., have felt the need to resort to this sort of thing.
We all know there is a punter for this product, but there were also customers for Billy Big Mouth the singing bass, caps with cups and straws stuck on them, Coldplay albums…
This what we’ve become.
Are you a true fan of an investment company?

Them lot aint stopping me from believing in my team. Look how we’re doing now when they’re practically trying to sabotage us. C’mon THFT.
If ifs and ands were pots and pans.
Ok then. the treble! 🙂
If it wasnt for levy we already would have. Just saying
I’ve also learned in good old of 60 that ENIC & CO’S’S formula ain’t going to bloody amount to anything and wont ever.
I didn’t mean everyone would go and watch NFL instead.
Nobody can tell what the future holds my friend but I can tell you for sure, I will NEVER sing that name.
Whats done is did brother. I’m over it. I’m about the now and the future. We gonna start winning things in that new stadium you watch. I can forgive. I wanna sing “there’s only one Daniel levy” when we win the two big cups double. Youl be singing it too 🙂 🙂
It already has mate. They knocked down our ground and built an NFL/events arena with a fold away football pitch. We should have protected what we had but everyone’s been hoodwinked.
One thing I learned in my thirties was never to worry or stress myself out over things I have no control over. Stuff like (levy/enic) 20 years on I still live by it. I look good for my age! Oh I dont care what them lot do up the road.
Certainly, that’s the mindset that ENIC has tapped into all along the way and this place we will be expected to be eternally grateful for. Even if that means 17 more years and one League Cup…
Mustv been nice to see them. Nice work for speaking up about the situation, sad to hear 2 great yids towing the party line for these charlatans though. They know in their hearts I’m sure.
It’s a shopping centre.
When we were rehoused to Wembley there was a big section of our support that were actually gloating, like it was a coup.
None of these things are achievements.
They are fans having their photo taken with a celebrity.
Sausages… THFC branded ones laced with pesticides and steroids. Yum!!
Ian and Myra. The dream team.
And just as the paid piper led he’s little followers down the cliffs edge you’r happy toe along the party lines, you know as much as hate to say it, that lot down the road are what i call a proper run football club, have a good look.
Levy: Please don’t forget your signed racket ball racket from Joe…
Indeed. The dystopian vision behind all of this is very bloody frightening…
This, mon brave. All to sadly this.
Do you honestly think a little bit of 5 minutes old American football could over shadow TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR? That dumb game gonna nick all our future fans? The young spurs fan base is growing in Tottenham. Dont worry about any of that s h I t man. THFT gonna come good. 21 days. 7 games. 5 wins. 1 draw. 1 loss. And we’re not playing that well. YET! It’s all good.
I’ve seen the place up close most recently, the club shop is pretty much up and rocking (as you’d expect) and there’s lots of glass and escalators, escalators I tell thee!!
I was left with an empty feeling for the cub I support as I walked on the newly laid asphalt and paving stones. What does this all mean?
This was place is 3k under the Estádio da Luz which was ready to party 15 years ago, this isn’t anything to shout about. It’s seats, places to buy overpriced garbage loosely related to the event taking place on the pitch.
It looks nice, and? Now what?
☺️
Levy; “Thanks Mauricio, you’ve done a great job of helping me give the fans false hope and creating a footballing vision while I spend naff all on the team”.
Poch; “Well, I did actually mean it and I also meant it that summer when I mentioned being brave. Anyway, thanks for the 5mill to keep shtum until we sold all the corporate stuff and ad space.
Levy; “No really, Mauricio you are welcome back any time. You’ve been a key component in the spin and venture capitalist project. You’ve made us loadsa money mate”
Mauricio; “At least I have my reputation in tact, I guess I’ll be off and I can have my real life back. I’m not into this virtual reality stuff, I mean the one of the stadium looked pretty snazzy but i’m Tired of being a virtual manager too.”
Levy: “Cheers Mitch… err… I mean Poch my best mate.
Poch; “I won’t be back, you lying toad…”
Most enjoyable vloggage HH.
All that plus 17 years and 1 League Cup and a glacially paced rise into the top 4 that has been by accident from Levy’s point of view.
The regular Champion’s League participation WAS the carrot, the selling point to the fans for putting up with all this dog do do.
That was the selling point, just as joining the ‘elite’ clubs was for Woolwich fans when they built their new gaff that they’ve been less successful in than their old one…
What’s the carrot now? Shiny glass and cheese with a chicken badge embossed on it? It certainly isn’t winning the league or the Champions League because of the meagre spending on the team (8th place spending in fact).
Where do we go from here? All very weird…

Pretty damning article. The quote at the end unfortunately ringed very true of our current predicament of enic & levy.
Sadly this a pre-view of the 2019/2020 Spurs home shirt
When all us fuddy duddys who hold Tottenham Hotspur dear and revere Crooks, Perryman, Glenn, Chivers, Edward Sheringham and all the rest are dead and gone, the fuddy duddys who insist this is a football club with an essense and history to respect and maintain, when we are finished there will be the next generation of NWO arena references numbers who buy these products. They are the target market. Its conditioning this market to think playing second fiddle in your own stadium to an NFL franchise is exciting and ‘the modern day experience’. A forgotten identity, a ghost of a once proud beloved pilgrimage now becoming an empty commercial exercise.
ENIC. What have you done? You are disgusting.

Gary mabbutt. What a man. In the shop taking a picture with him he remembered me (the save) also that im a diabetic. He even remembered the type (2) loads of people waiting to take pitches with them (with the cups) he said “stick around a bit and we’ll talk after. Gary mabbutt! half hour later (about 2 oclock) he came over and started talking diabetes. said to him I manage mine badly.. gave me such great advice. We also spoke about his foot episode with the mice. Its still f u c k e d. He was wearing a croc shoe. Anyway. Football. He’s all for the new lane. I said the money could have been spent on strengthening team and all the rest of it. Win things then start thinking about expansion. Also about making the old lane bigger 10 years ago. He just smiled and let me talk. Hindsight! It’s all about the now. Now big things are about to happen. Mickey hazard agreeing. Money well spent they were implying. Gary and Mickey super kool. Said to Mickey you don’t know my city like me. Could do the knowledge in a year!!! He laughed. I spoke with them for a good few minutes. Great afternoon. 🙂 🙂
