Premier League powerhouses Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea unveiled their third kits for the upcoming season on Monday. Both are being spoken about in social media. Tottenham's third kit is bright yellow and has a striking resemblance of Arsenal’s previous season away kit. Spurs have a history of wearing yellow kits, especially between 1969 and 1982. On the other hand, Chelsea's kit looks like a Crystal Palace kit, resembling their theme largely.

Here is how the fans from both the teams reacted on Nike's new kits -
Tottenham Third Kit :
Favourite kit so far. Always wanted us to do a kit similar to the 1980 kit with the badge in the middle. Would have loved a home kit just like that - white, navy and centre badge. 👍👍👍

1982 FA Cup final throwback surely.

Chelsea supporters are clearly not the happiest ones and many of them criticized the new colours. On the other hand, Tottenham fans were absolutely elated with their new third kit. Crystal Palace themselves took to Twitter to come up with a cheeky reply, which has gone viral.

The kit is a bit way “too much” colourful and striking to the eyes and seems to look like a kit for some anime character to be precise. The club tweeted alongside pictures of the new jersey: ‘Meet a new legacy. The 20/21 @nikefootball third kit is here!
