Kit Highlights

Arsenal become the 3rd team to use four different Goalkeeper Kits this season, having worn the purple standard Adidas template against West Ham United.

Everton continue to be their streak of not wearing a change kit yet this season, granted they were playing at Home this weekend but is all 7 games this season in their Home Kit (wearing all Blue in opening match of the season at Leeds United)

This game also saw Crystal Palace an alternative goalkeeper kit for the first time this season, having worn first choice green goalkeeper kit for the first six games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Bournemouth and Fulham, with Bournemouth’s Home kit being on the of the Kits of the season in Premier League (well apart from Sponsor) and Fulham in their wonderful retro inspired Away kit with alternative shorts / socks.

HOT OFF THE PRESS UPDATE – Thank you to Rich for calling this out to me in the comments below

Brighton & Hove Albion have changed the colour of the nameset worn with their Away Kit, having worn white in it’s first appearance at Everton, this was switched to the more visible black against Wolve.

Kit News

It was another European week last week, Aston Villa playing in The Netherlands against Feyenoord, and due to the local laws around sponsorship it meant Villa wore their own charity foundation on the front of their shirts in this game.

Crystal Palace were another team that replaced their betting sponsor in their game against Dynamo Kyiv, played in Lublin, Poland and carrying “Palace for Life”
