EFL – Championship, Kit Log

The Championship, one of the most competitive leagues in the World with teams chasing the prize and riches of the Premier League, with 19 of the 24 teams already playing in the Top Flight since the Premier League was launched in 1992.

The League is now a third of the way through the season with teams last weekend playing their 16th games of the season – games being played on 2nd / 3rd / 4th November 2018, so I though it was a good time to take a more detailed look at the kits worn so far this season.

With the 24 teams in The Championship, we have a total of 61 kits available with 11 teams only having the two kits (currently).

Aston Villa have one of the most intriguing kits of season, not produced by one of the larger or even second tier manufactures but by local fashion designer and supporter “Luke 1977”.  The Villains Home and Away kits are wonderfully interchangeable and this has seen with four variations of home kit worn this season so far and two variations of away and we are yet to see the 3rd kit used, which being navy could also be combined with home and away kits if needed.

West Bromwich Albion’s Home and 3rd kits are for some classic designs, influenced by the kits of the early 80s, the design and colours used are fantastic.

Within The Championship we are seeing a wide selection of colours from across the colour palette… in fact we can even produce a “Championship Rainbow”!!!

And that is not mentioning the Brown (Brentford Away) and varying shades of Grey (Reading Away, Millwall Away), Black (West Bromwich Albion Away) and Pink (Queen’s Park Rangers).

Kits yet to be seen this season:

  • Aston Villa 3rd Kit
  • Bristol City Away
  • Norwich City Away

Kit highlights:

There a few kits that I want to call out, well just because I like them…

Bolton Wanderers Home kit, I really like this kit from Macron…. I think its because it reminds me of the 1986 England Home kit from Umbro.

Queen’s Park Rangers Away Kit, this Pink kit from Errea, with its subtle hoops to fit into QPR’s traditional kit scheme works really well for me, combined with navy shorts and navy detailing, the whole package looks great.

Bristol City 3rd kit…. the classic Bristol City Purple and Lime Green should always be given time to shine, what a kit!

West Bromwich Away, I have already mentioned this kit above but still worth mentioning again and seeing in all its glory.
