West Ham unveil new home kit for first season back in Europe... with strip inspired by the jersey worn by Paolo Di Canio when he scored infamous volley against Wimbledon 20 years ago

West Ham have unveiled their new home kit for the 2020-21 season which acts as a tribute to club legend Paolo Di Canio's infamous volley against Wimbledon over 20 years ago.

The Hammers kit, with the club playing in their first ever Europa League group stage campaign this season, has striking blue sleeves with the body of the shirt fully claret - just like Di Canio and Co wore in the 1999-2000 campaign.

That season was a memorable one for Hammers fans in Europe, as Trevor Sinclair, Frank Lampard and Paulo Wanchope all scored away at Metz to win the Hammers the Intertoto Cup and seal a spot in the UEFA Cup.
