Premier League: Matchweek 3 Kit Review

We are back with all 20 teams in action this weekend and there is plenty to talk about in terms of the kits on show and kit usage this matchweek.

This is the third weekly review of the kits in the Premier League, you can find last week’s here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we have seen 54 out of the 60 Kits released so far…

  • Wolverhampton Wanderers (Yellow)

Kit Highlights

So, there is only one place to start… Manchester United….

Another Premier League season and yet another Manchester United sock drama. So after using their default home socks in their opening two games, which are black with the similar pattern as seen in the home shirt, this weekend’s home game with Nottingham Forest saw The Red Devils in plain Black Adidas Teamwear socks, is it supply issues or something else, regarding Premier not “signing off” on the sock design as I saw mentioned on Social Media this weekend, only time will tell but if we can get the default socks back that would be great in my humble opionion, they worked really well with the kit and help elevate the overall design!

See the difference below…

The result of this means its 3 different kit looks in 3 games of Manchester United, only matched by Aston Villa, who have worn 2 home kit looks and now an away kit with alternative white shorts (including the monochorm Club Crest).

There is another team that has used 3 different kits in their opening 3 games and that is Wolverhampton Wanderers and their use of Goalkeeper kits, using all 3 already this season…

My favourite kit match up of the weekend was the game between Brentford and Crystal Palace. Palace in their Black 3rd kit with away socks for the second time this season and balance of red / white / black of Brentford gave a nice overall kit match up in my eyes!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 4 Away Kits and again just the one 3rd kit used this weekend but plenty of variations on show with 4 teams moving from default looks:

  • Home, Manchester United
  • Away, Aston Villa and Luton Town
  • 3rd, Crystal Palace

Kit Grid – Up to 28th August

Kit News

There was just the one kit launch this week, with Aston Villa releasing their 3rd kit for this season on Friday 25th August.

I will be back again next week with Matchweek 4’s Kit Review, what we will see in the final week of games before the first International Break of the season!
