There have been four teams that have worn three different kit looks in their opening three games, with Brentford, Newcastle United and West Ham United in Home, Away and 3rd Kits worn in these games.

Fulham are the other team to wear three different kits, with their Home Kit being all white this season it gave us for an unusual kit look with alternative black socks this weekend.

Three teams have also worn three Goalkeeper looks so far this season, with Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, with Arsenal using a their second different colour “Trefoil” Kit this season, with the black version on show at Liverpool.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Sunderland and Brentford, Brentford using their Brown Away Kit for the first time, and paired against the Sunderland Home, it gave us an interesting match up.

Kit News

Tottenham Hotspur release their 3rd for the season, a kit launch that was fairly quiet with no fanfare or videos, etc… they are another Nike team that will have “Total 90” look.

This kit using an all yellow look… one interesting use of this kit within the Total 90 template is the navy band for the players name, contrasting against the yellow shirt, this also means the kit will be that rare Premier League shirt that will carry different colour player name and numbers.

Everton are another team to release their 3rd Kit this week, with inspiration taken from their new stadium again and its location, “ripples of the River Mersey” are the basis of the coloured hoops within this black kit and also see’s the “Prince Rupert Tower” logo being used as the crest in the kit.

Nottingham Forest launch the penultimate kit of the Premier League season, this all navy kit with a vibrant (solar) red detailing, there is a subtle black pattern within the body of the shirt.
