New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new kits this weekend.

Chelsea wore their 3rd Kit for the first time in Premier League this season at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Newcastle United wore their Away Kit with alternative white socks.

Brentford wore an interesting mash up at West Ham United, wearing claret socks with their Away Kit, we look at this in a little more detail shortly.

Kit Highlights

Newcastle United have now worn nine Kit Variations in Premier League this season, their look this weekend using alternative white socks with their Away Kit was their 4th different look, using all possible combinations now of navy and white shorts / socks.

Along with the four Away Kits, they have worn two Home Kit and three different 3rd Kit looks to make up the nine kits worn in total!

Brentford’s socks have caused some interesting debate this weekend, with the Pink socks of their Away Kit deemed to clash with West Ham United’s white Home socks, so Claret socks were used and at first glance it can easily be assumed that these were West Ham Socks of their 3rd kit but closer inspection, the West Ham socks carry gold Umbro detailing and thanks to @JohnSpenge on “X” who spotted they are actually current Umbro Teamwear socks. An enjoyable Kit Tale from this season!

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Newcastle United, regular readers of these weekly round ups and followers will know that contrasting socks with kits are something that I am particularly found of, so this game with both teams in this look is always going to be a winner in my eyes!
