LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur's cappuccino-coloured new third strip suffered an inauspicious debut but it was not to blame for the club's defeat by Fulham in the League Cup on Tuesday, according to manger Ange Postecoglou.

The unusual kit colour, officially described as 'taupe haze', hardly dazzled under the Craven Cottage lights, and some fans suggested Tottenham players struggled to locate each other.
