Premier League: Matchweek 23 Kit Review

The Premier League games completed for January with Matchweek 23, and we are 60% of the way through the season! These were the reverse fixtures from the opening weekend of the season, Matchweek 1.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 23 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 90 (No new Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 69 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were no new outfield kits this weekend, only the second Matchweek that this has happened this season (first being Matchweek 19).

There was one new Goalkeeper Kit used, with Manchester City debuting their AI Designed Kit (designed by Ederson, Stefan Ortega and Rico Lewis).

Kit Highlights

Leicester City became the first team to use a Kit 20 times this season, in just 23 games they have worn their Home Kit 20 times!

Some interesting sock usage by Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, with what appears at first glance to be an alternative pair of socks used (yellow) with rest of the team being in dark grey socks. Thanks to @_luke1878_ on “X” the answer seems to be “cuts his socks short and wears them upside down, so it looks like his socks are a different colour” – it also he appeared he done the same thing when Everton played Manchester City wearing alternative yellow socks with this kit, his socks looked the opposite!

This week saw 15 teams in their Home Kit, this was the most Home Kits used in a single Matchweek since the first round of fixtures, which were also the reverse round of fixtures

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton, a nice of balance of colours and with the accents of yellow on both kits, it seems to work well!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 2 3rd Kits

There was just the single variation seen over these fixtures.

  • Newcastle United – Away with alternative white shorts, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 27th January

Kit News

Manchester City who used their AI Generated Goalkeeper kit this weekend have also announced the 10 options for their 3rd Kit for 2026 / 27 season, which was created via AI by fans and kit designers out there… you can vote for your favourite here
