As a new fan to Tottenham (and the sport in general) can someone please explain a couple questions I have.
1. What is the significance of the yellow on Tottenham history?
2. Why do clubs change colors of uniforms...sorry, kits...as frequently as they do?
3. Why are so many "non-club" colors used?
Being an American I'm used to uniforms changing every couple years but always staying with the team's official color scheme other than an occasional one off uniform that might be slightly different. Though those are usually still the colors just a different combination.
Apologies for the ignorance but I'm trying to learn everything I can to educate myself

Yep. I can't remember the last time we had a repeat of either yellow, navy, light blue in consecutive seasons.
Yellow away and then a dark third (purple, brown, black/grey halves etc)
Is this the Kyle Walker pic originally?

As a fan of over 30 years I find myself asking why Tottenham on a fairly regular basisIowa, as a new fan to tottenham, why tottenham?
Just interested out of curiosity.
Also regarding the shirt colours, by changing the colours every year, the manufacturers are hoping for extra sales.
The home colour will in general stay the same.

1. Yellow has always(well probably not always, but for as long as I can remember) been part of our history. It's very much the secondary colour after white/navy. Light blue is used also.
2. I don't think clubs change their colours, not their man(Home kit) colour anyway. Only in exceptional circumstances like Cardiff getting a new owner and him changing them from blue to red - despite the uproar it caused. Clubs will often change colours for their away and 3rd/alternate(if needed) kits though, just to keep things fresh and to keep the money coming in. If you're asking why they change the design every season then that's purely for money as a lot of fans will generally want the newest shirt.
3. Answered above. Spurs will always have a white and navy home kit. One of our away or 3rd kits will generally be navy of some sort so the other will need to be a contrasting colour as there are some teams who will play in blue and white so no matter which we use(if we were to play against them), it will clash.
I find it quite strange that given how commercialised American Sports are, their jerseys/uniforms are seen as sacred, they generally keep the one design and never change. You'd think they'd be slapping sponsors on there and milking as much money as possible out of the fans. Football clubs around Europe/South America are pretty much seen as religions whereas I think we view the "franchises"(horrible word) in the US as quite fairweather, I mean it's pretty much unheard of for a football team to just up and leave - only Wimbledon/MK Dons springs to mind in recent history but it happens frequently in the US.
That kit is pretty damn repulsive.
