Kit Highlights

And there we have it, the 100 Kit Looks used this season, with Leeds United use of Home Kit with Away Socks being the 100th Kit in the 251st Game of the season, this was quicker than last season (292 Games).

This also means we continue to see a new kit look every match week this season, the breakdown below shows this in more detail!

Leeds United in their 4th Different Kit Variation of the Season and their first “Mash Up”

Arsenal were in their 6th Kit look of the season, and their 3rd different Away Kit look, although this look has been used in Champions League this season, this is the first time in Premier League.

Newcastle United, Manchester United and Liverpool all wore variations of change kits for the 2nd time this season in these games. All looks were changing to matching shorts and socks (and of course Adidas Kits), add to that the similar look of Arsenal (although this was the first time that variation was used in Premier League).

AFC Bournemouth were first team to wear an outfield field kit for the 20th time this season, Manchester City also reached this number in this Matchweek but due the fixture scheduling, Bournemouth reached 20 first!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Sunderland and Liverpool, this was only the third time we have seen Liverpool’s wonderful 3rd Kit in action in Premier League this season, and paired up against Sunderland Home Kit gave us a lovely Kit Match Up in these mid-week games!
