New Kits this Matchweek

For the second Matchweek in a row, there were four new kit looks on show….

Sheffield United made an interesting Kit Choice to their visit to Arsenal, going for the first time this season with their light grey / off white 3rd kit paired with alternative red socks… The Blades have gone with their Yellow Away Kit for all their games on the road this season and maybe this would have been a better choice this week, as this look did create somewhat of an overall clash!

Newcastle United used their Away Kit in its default (Green / White / Green) look for the first time this season at Wolverhampton Wanderers

Everton used their wonderful 3rd Kit for the first time in their victory at West Ham United, the kit is part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration for Hummel and is a variation of their classic “Mexico” design. I wrote a detailed piece on all those kits which you can find here!

Fulham complete the new outfield kits on show this week, debutting their neon pink Away Kit at Brighton & Hove Albion, a kit ot brighten up those dreary winter days…!

There were also three new goalkeeper used for the first time this weekend… with Chelsea using the green version of the Nike Template for the first time and in the game at The London Stadium saw both Keepers in new kits, with West Ham United using the Pink Umbro template as seen by all Umbro Teams in the Premier League now and Everton moving from their green keeper kit for the first time this season by using their Black / Blue alternative kit!

This takes up to 50 Goalkeeper Used this season so far.

Kit Highlights

We will start as always with Manchester United “Sock Watch”, this weekend in the Manchester Derby it was a return the most recent Adidas Teamwear socks, with just the Adidas Logo… this was the 2nd time they have worn these socks with their Home Kit.

Liverpool have worn their Home Kit in their opening TEN GAMES, so currently have the longest running Kit Streak in the Premier League.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham, although the Brighton Home Kit is not one of my favourite kits of the season, the match up with the vibriant Fulham Away gave us a nice balance in kit looks and for me just worked well on the eye!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 5 Away Kits and 2 3rd kits in action in this Matchweek, this was the second week in a row that we have seen this breakdown.

However there was one Home, Away and 3rd Kit Variation on show this weekend!

Manchester United, Home with Teamwear Socks (New Logo)
Luton Town, Away with Home Shorts & Socks, 2nd Time this variation has been used this season
Sheffield United, 3rd with alternative red socks.

As mentioned above Liverpool have now worn their Home Kit for all 10 games so far, therefore using just the one kit this season! This run is likely to end next weekend when they visit Luton Town so a change kit will be used there.

Sheffield United have used change kits in all five their Away games this season, using their Away kit four times and 3rd kit for the first time this weekend!

Kit Grid – Up to 30th October

Kit News

The Arsenal x Maharishi collection was released in the last week, Maharishi were founded in London in 1994 and are known for using camouflage as in the heart of their designs. Another example of The North Londoners branching their “kits” across from the standard playing and training gear, with these items likely to be used as Pre-Match kit.

To the other side of North London, Tottenham Hotspur launched their “Legacy” Number initiative for their kits, this is wear players wear a unique number on their kit, the number represents their place in order of players to represent the club, something originally seen in Cricket and recently seen used by England National Football Team as well… will more clubs follow this lead, time will tell?

The Numbers will be on the back of the shirts, above the players name – See “805” for Son below!
