West Ham unveil stunning new home kit but Declan Rice not featured in unveiling

talksport.com, 9 June 2022, 09:30
West Ham United have unveiled their new stunning home kit for the 2022/23 season.

Featuring the Irons' traditional claret and blue colours, the new home shirt also features a scratched graffiti blue and white sleeve in a bold new design.

The new jersey will be worn by both the men's and the women's team for the upcoming campaign, with first team stars such as Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Pablo Fornals among those to model the shirt, along with club legends Marlon Harewood, James Collins and Carlton Cole.

While only a handful of players featured in the video, one notable exclusion was in-demand Declan Rice.

The 23-year-old England man is now the Hammers' club captain following the retirement of stalwart Mark Noble, but was not seen in the shoot amid transfer links with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Inspired by the iconic design worn by Billy Bonds' promotion-winning team of 30 years ago, the promotional slogan, 'made for the massive moments' will surely act as inspiration going into another big season for the club.

With the London Stadium extending its capacity to 62,500 for the new campaign, fans will be hoping to see much more success this term.

David Moyes's side enjoyed a great season in 2021/22 after earning seventh spot in the Premier League and reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League where they were beaten by eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.

With the club set to compete in the Europa Conference League next term, the Hammers will have a fresh opportunity for European glory while also pushing for a top six finish in the league.

A huge boost to the club's chances of success will be retaining the services of Rice amid reported interest from the likes of boyhood club Chelsea, Man United and Premier League champions Man City.

And, according to former West Ham striker Bobby Zamora, the club must do all that they can to keep the England star.

Asked if Rice will stay at the London Stadium this summer, Zamora told White and Jordan: "I hope so. I'd love him to have one more season with the club.

"He's shocked me, he's shocked everybody over the last two seasons with how much he's come on.

"Mark Noble told me a long time ago, like four years ago, that this kid is special, wait until he comes on the scene.

"I still don't think he's given the credit he's due. People still don't know exactly what he's capable of because he actually has unbelievable feet in terms of skills and he'll only get that credit when he goes and wins trophies.

"I hope that Dec stays for just one more season with West Ham and kicks them on one more step if he can take us another step forward in terms of profile."
