The 2018/19 Premier League season is in full swing, we are seeing records being broken at the top (and bottom) of the league but that’s not why we are here, we want to look at the kits, what teams have worn and some stats / details around what they are wearing.

Overview:

Here we have the snapshot of what each team has worn through each “Match Day”:

In the total of 220 kits worn (110 games) so far this season, we have seen the following:

• Home Kits worn – 73% (66% full Home, 7% variations)
• Away Kits worn – 18 % (12% full Away, 6% variations)
• 3rd Kits worn – 8% (7% full 3rd, 1% variations)
• 4th Kits worn – 1% (0.5% full 4th, 0.5% variation – thank you Fulham)

Variations:

Kits are more than just about being Home, Away and Third (and 4th Kits…..Fulham)…, it is also about the variations that worn within these kits and those of you that have read my previous posts and follow me on Twitter will know this part of the Kit “Geekdom” that I really enjoy.

Looking at the variations worn so far this season (11 games):

7 Variations:

Fulham, who fast becoming this simple Kit Geek’s favourite team in Premier League so far this season, what will they wear next… all navy, or White/White/Black home kit combo.

6 Variations:

Burnley, who thanks to wearing three variations of their away kit are now up to 6 variations.

5 Variations:

Manchester City and West Ham United.

Man City, with combinations in both their Home and Away kits, also by wearing a variation of their 3rd kit, so we may see a 6th variation at some point in the season.

West Ham, always one to use a variation of each of their kits, here we may see a fourth variation of their home kit if they go for a white short, blue sock combo.

4 Variations:

We have seen several teams that used four variations of kit.

• Arsenal
• Cardiff City
• Chelsea
• Crystal Palace
• Everton
• Huddersfield Town
• Manchester United

3 Variations:

• AFC Bournemouth
• Brighton and Hove Albion
• Liverpool – (the only team to have used three different kits, no variations so far)
• Newcastle United
• Southampton
• Tottenham Hotspur

2 Variations:

• Leicester City – wearing their home kit for 10 games and those being the first 10 games of the season
• Watford (only have two registered kits at the moment)
• Wolverhampton Wanderers (only have two registered kits at the moment)

Points per kit:

Another area I like to look at is the points won wearing certain kits, to keep this simple and not over confuse with the variations used, I have combined variations of kits, so below you will see Home and Away kit League tables based on points per game when the Home and Away kits were worn, there is also a 3rd kit league, this also includes…. yes, you guessed it Fulham’s 4th Kit appearances.

Home Kit League:

Manchester City not surprisingly are sitting top of the Home Kit League, with a maximum of 3.00 points per game for the 7 games they have worn their home kit (and its variation)

The only surprise looking here, would be Watford, who sitting in joint 5th Place with 1.88 points per game.

Away Kit League:

Arsenal and Leicester City top the Away kit League, however there 100% record from just one game is the main reason for this.

Manchester United and AFC Bournemouth are both performing well in the away kits this season, with 2.25 and 2.00 points per game, interestingly (well maybe just for me)

Manchester United have yet to wear their registered away kit season (Pink Shirts, Black Short, Pink Socks), however have worn a variation of Pink/White/Pink and Pink/Black/Black in its four appearances so far.

3rd (and 4th) Kit League:

We have three teams with 100% records in the 3rd (4th) Kit League, Tottenham Hotspur winning all three of the games when they have worn their 3rd kit this season.  Burnley’s white third kit’s only outing has also resulted in a win for them.

Several teams are yet to wear a 3rd kit this season, with Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers currently only having two kits registered, something that will be unlikely to change as we move through the season.

Unseen 2018/19 kits:

Looking at these stats it shows a number of kits that are yet to be used this season in the Premier League (however some have made appearances in the League Cup), these kits are:

• Newcastle United Away (one that I am looking forward seeing in action)
• Tottenham Hotspur Away
• AFC Bournemouth 3rd Kit
• Brighton and Hove Albion 3rd Kit (last season’s yellow away)
• Leicester City 3rd Kit
• Manchester United Away (this is surprising giving the marketing giant that is MUFC)
• Southampton 3rd Kit

and

• Fulham 5th kit…. go on, you know you want to!!

So that’s it, a view and some stats on kits, let me know what you think and what your favourite kits of the 2018/19 Premier League season have been so far.

My favourite, at this moment a variation of Huddersfield Town’s home kit, worn with Black socks, a simple but classic look.
