Kit Highlights

Slovan Bratislave wore an unexpected kit, is it a 4th Kit or a Cup Kit, time will tell but it was not expected at Girona.

PSV went for All White look at PSG, wearing alternative white shorts and socks to give the clean overall look at PSG.

AC Milan went for their 3rd Kit at Home against Club Brugge, another look not expected and meant they used Home. Away 3rd Kits in their opening 3 games.

Thanks to @SVBJude04 who shared that Bayer Leverkusen Goalkeeper Matěj Kovář who wore the Leverkusen Away Kit, with the team in their 3rd Kit at Brest, they went with outfield change kit as their choice for evening… something we are certainly behind in Kit Geek Towers.

11 Team in total have worn three different kit looks in their opening three games.

There 7 seven teams that have worn Home, Away, 3rd Kits are AC Milan, Feyenoord, Lille, PSV, Red Star Belgrade, Shakhtar Donetsk and Sporting CP.

Manchester City and Slovan Bratislava have worn three different kits, with 4th / Cup Kits being used.

Bayer Levekusen and Sparta Prague have both worn their 3rd Kits in two different variations to give their three different looks.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Juventus and Stuttgart, there were plenty of nice kit match ups on show this week but this one was my favourite, Juventus appear to be using white shorts / socks in Europe this season and paired with a classic looking Stuttgart Away kit gave us a nice balance in their game!
