West Ham's merchandise staff may have their work cut out over the next few days as the club will have to try to flog their 'European Tour' t-shirts.

The east London outfit may have tempted fate by selling 'Prepare for a European Tour' t-shirts after sealing a spot in the Europa League qualifying stage.

However the Hammers were dumped out of Europe's second tier competition by Romanian outfit Astra for the second year in a row as they fell to a disappointing 1-0 loss at the London Stadium.

The Hammers are selling the t-shirts for £15 or you can purchase two for £20

The defeat at their new home in Stratford saw Slaven Bilic's side fall to a 2-1 aggregate defeat and crash out of the Europa League ahead of Friday's group-stage draw.

Their '2016-17 European Tour' t-shirts are priced on their official website for £15 or you can purchase two for £20.

That price is now likely to fall dramatically following their premature exit from Europe even though the word 'prepare' is now pretty apt.

Rival supporters took to Twitter to mock West Ham following the end of their European Tour. 

One social media user said: 'I've had longer summer holidays than West Ham's European Tour.'

Another said: 'So West Ham's Big European Tour was a day trip to Romania?!'

West Ham went into the second leg of the two-legged tie level against Astra with an away goal to their name following last week's 1-1 draw in Romania.

Mark Noble's crucial 45th-minute penalty swung the tie in West Ham's favour however they failed to finish the job in front of their fans.

Former West Brom midfielder Filipe Teixeira scored the only goal of the game on the stroke of half-time to burst West Ham's bubble.
