New Kits this Matchweek
There was just the one new kit look this weekend.
Manchester United wore a classic change looks of their Home Kit with alternative black socks for the first time this season.
Kit Highlights
Manchester United wore their 7th Kit Variation of the season, with their 3rd different Home Kit look now used, this was the first time they had worn a new look since Matchweek 12.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have worn alternative shorts for four times in their last six games, all of these four games have been away from home and have not worn their Home Kit with black shorts in an away game since Vítor Pereira took over on 19th December, is this an initiative from the Manager?
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Aston Villa and Chelsea, The Villa Kit is one of my favourite this season and although Chelsea did go for alternative socks, their Away Kit is a nice clean look, for a nice match up.
