You may remember, back in May, West Ham waved goodbye to the Boleyn Ground/Upton Park with a fairly hideous farewell ceremony, in which Paolo Di Canio being asked to salute the crowd did not even rank in the list of the event's most cringe-inducing moments.
Fresh from that steaming pile of nonsense, the club unveiling of their new kits was equally toe-curling. Fans gathered at a stage outside the Olympic Stadium to see various guests and hilarious activities. For some reason, however, a man turned up to rap about suits. You can watch it below:

What!?
In fairness, the kits were worth suffering through the above to catch a glimpse of. They're very slick, with the new, slimmed down crest extremely classy:

Let's hope that Payet is sticking around to wear it next season.
