Kit Highlights
Newcastle United now have the joint highest Kit Variations of the season, with their 7th Kit look in total, this being their 3rd different 3rd Kit look!
There have been more goalkeeper kits worn this season so far with 64 than the whole of last season with 61 Kits! Two new looks this week with Brentford and Brighton both wearing new looks this weekend (standard Umbro / Nike Templates).
Liverpool were the only Away team this weekend to wear their default home kit, Brighton and Wolves both in alternative elements of their Home for the first time this season.
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Ipswich Town and Newcastle United, a nice match up with Newcastle United in their 3rd Kit, the balance of colours worked well and the alternative shorts of Newcastle were unexpected!
