Kit Highlights:

Looking at some of my favourite Kit highlights of the League Phase of the competition…

There were two teams that wore five different Kit variations in their eight games, Bayern Munich and Sporting CP.

Bayern Munich, who wore Home, Away and three different variations of their 3rd Kit.

Sporting CP wore two variations of their Home Kit, Away, 3rd and a Charity Kit.

Bayer Leverkusen were the only team to wear a single Kit Look through this phase of the competition.

PSG were the only team to wear four distinct kits with no variations, wearing Home, Away, 3rd and 4th Kit in their eight games!

AS Monaco wore three different Home Kit looks, using red / white shorts and socks in different combinations.

Benfica were the only team to wear just their Home Kit in all of their matches, they did this in two different looks, wearing default look (white shorts) six times and alternative red shorts twice.

Borussia Dortmund as with traditional over the recent seasons wore a Cup Kit, they did this in two different variations, only wearing alternative shorts the once in the opening game against Juventus.

Juventus wore their 3rd Kit more than any other look, wearing it four times including once at Home.

There were three examples of “European” Change kits, with Napoli having dedicated European Away and 3rd Kits (a shame we did not get to see that wonderful brown 3rd Kit in Champions League Action) and Union Saint-Gilloise used a “European” Away Kit.

Manchester City wore a 4th Kit for second season in a row, this season wearing it three times in total for their most used look away from Etihad Stadium.

That’s it, the Champions League “League” Phase has now been completed!

One of the most common goalkeeper templates across Europe this season, but it a goal scoring one now and we love a goalkeeper scoring!

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

Match 5 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 98
  • 15 New Kits used this Matchweek

New Kits this Matchweek

The 15 new kits this week were the following:

  • Ajax – 3rd
  • Benfica – Home, All Red
  • Union Saint-Gilloise – Away (European Version)
  • Villarreal – Away
  • Barcelona – Away
  • Newcastle United – 3rd
  • Napoli – Away (European Version)

  • Bayern Munich – 3rd with green socks
  • Inter Milan – Home with white socks
  • Real Madrid – 3rd
  • PSG – 4th Kit
  • Tottenham Hotspur – 3rd
  • Club Brugge – 3rd

Kit Highlights

There are just two teams have just worn a single kit look in the five games so far, both from Germany – Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt

The game between Ajax and Benfica was a game that gave us plenty of talking points in terms of kits. Firstly, Ajax were the Home Team and wore their 3rd Kit, the reason given for this was the lack of Kit Options from Benfica (who have a light grey Away Kit and white 3rd Kit).

This was also the 4th Kit Look Ajax have used so far in the competition (joint highest) and was the first alternative look worn by Benfica.

Two teams wore “European” Away Kits for the first time in the Champions League. Union Saint-Gilloise wore a plain white shirt (their domestic Away contains a map of the area in the body of the shirt) and Napoli wore an All White Away, with their domestic Away being cream in colour.

Newcastle United wore a change kit for the first time in Champions League this season, using their “Trefoil” 3rd Kit against Olympique Marseille.

Athletic Club wore their Away Kit at Slavia Prague, this was their 4th different Kit Look so far this season in the competition, the joint highest from a club.

It was 4th Kit v 3rd Kit, when Tottenham Hotspur visited PSG, who debuted their 4th Kit for this season (something we have seen them use in past few seasons in The Champions League). PSG are the first team to wear four distinct kits in the competition so far.

AS Monaco wore a different Kit variation for the first time this season, however it was still their Home Kit but paired with alternative shorts and socks, so red shorts and white socks, the opposite of their default look.

Bayern Munich wore their 3rd Kit for the second time in the competition, however this time with alternative green socks, rather than the default light gold / cream socks, this is the fourth Kit Look used so far.

There are eight teams that have now worn four kit looks in the opening five games, Galatasaray and Sporting CP (who used four in four games), Ajax, Athletic Club, Bayern Munich and PSG all mentioned above, with the other two teams Inter Milan (who wore white socks with their Home Kit) and Union Saint-Gilloise (European Away) making up the eight clubs.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal, the Spanish team are not one for changing their kit but against Dortmund was one of times when it was needed, so the Kit Match up looked good in action.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

  • 19 Home Kits
  • 7 Away Kits
  • 7 3rd Kits
  • 2 “Cup” Kit
  • 1 4th Kit

There were just 4 Kit Variations seen this week…

  • Benfica – Home, All Red
  • Monaco – Home, alternative red short / white socks
  • Bayern Munich – 3rd, alternative green socks
  • Inter Milan – Home, white socks

England Kit History: 2020-2024

England Kit History: 2020-2024

As regular readers will know I have documented the England Men’s National Football Team’s Kit History from 1960 to The Modern Day, creating some reference articles and documents for those that like to have quick reference to these things.

You can find the following, which takes a look at the decades in more details.

It is time to take a look at first half of 2020’s in some more detail, one of the most successful period’s in Men’s National team history which meant the team played 67 games across these five years, which is the most in a five year period in these records.

The Three Lions wore their Primary (Home) Kit 53 times and Secondary Kits 14 times. The use of the secondary kit was down on previous years to 21%.

This includes three tournaments where England have not worn a change kit, wearing only Primary Kits (including All White variations) in their 19 Major Tournament Games in this period of time.

2020

2020, a year like no other… with the World coming to a stop, football also stopped for a period of time and Euro 2020 was postponed until the following year. As domestic football was one of the first things to start up again after “lockdown”, International Football returned in September of that year with eight games played in September, October and November.

When the football did restart, England played in their Kits which were scheduled to used for Euro 2020, and originally planned to released in March. The Primary Shirt saw a return to the centrally placed Crest and Logo, this was the first time since 2004. The Secondary kit was Royal Blue, this was the first time the secondary kit was not red since since 2012, and the first time Royal Blue has been used since 1950s.

The first time the new kit was used was in The Nation’s League game Away to Iceland in it’s All White Variation, a look that would used a total of 10 times over the years this kit was used.

The default look with Navy shorts was used four times in total in 2020, including the first game at Wembley for the team in nearly a year against Wales.

The first time the secondary kit was worn was also at Wembley, this kit was used twice in 2020 both games at Home, in Nation’s League game against Denmark and the Friendly against Ireland.

2021

2021 was the year with the most games in a calendar year, with 19 games played in total with World Cup 2022 Qualifying and Euro 2020 all taking place through-out the year, with the kits launched the previous year.

England had their most successful tournament since 1996, reaching the final of Euro 2020. During their run to the final they wore their Primary Kit in all seven games, wearing All White in all group games and their last 16 game against Germany.

They only wore their default look in Quarter-Final and Semi-Final, with the Quarters being the only game played outside of Wembley Stadium, which was against Ukraine in Rome.

England used their Secondary kit five times in total in 2021, of which three of the games were played at Home.

2022

2022 was a World Cup year but a World Cup Year with a difference, with the tournament being hosted by Qatar it meant it was a Winter World Cup taking place in November / December, this also meant new Kits for The Three Lions before the tournament kicked off.

England started the year in kits from 2020 / 2021, meaning these kits had a life span of 33 games (24 for Primary Kit and 9 for Secondary Kit), the longest spell kits had been used since the early 1980s.

The final use of the Royal Blue Away Kit was against Germany in June, and was only the 3rd time it had been used in an Away game in it’s nine usages (being worn six times in Home Games).

The return Nation’s League fixture against Germany was first outing of the new England Secondary Kit, which was a return to red, the kit was All Red, although England had played in all red several times over the previous 12 years this was the first time All Red had been used as a default change kit since 1995.

The new Primary kit was a design that changed the overall look of the shirt. Turquiose blue returned as an accent colour, this was the first time since 1996 that we have seen this used in an England kit (it was also used in secondary kit with crest, logo and nameset).

The biggest design element was the use of the blues across the shoulders of the shirt, which provided a different take on the often plain white shirts and was first used against Italy in a Friendly in September.

You can find a more detailed review of these kits here.

The first competitive action this new kit was used in was the opening game of the World Cup against Iran, it was used with it’s default navy shorts. There was also saw a return of blue nameset which were last used in 2017.

England reached the Quarter-Finals of The World Cup, playing all five of their games in this Primary Kit with three games played in the default look and two games played with white shorts (USA and Senegal). The Knock-out games were also the first games England had played in December since 1995.

2023

This year was a relatively quiet year in terms of England Football, with qualifying for European Championship taking the majority of the game time.

The game against Ukraine (played in Poland) was the 2nd and final use of the current Secondary Kit, only being used twice in it’s life-cycle, this was least used kit since the first Nike Secondary Kit back in 2013, a real shame in my eyes as I believe this is one the best looking Kits that Nike has produce for England over the years.

The final use of the Primary Kit was against North Macedonia in November, which meant this kit was used 15 times in total in it’s 14 months being England’s kit.

2024

Another Major Championship year, meant new kits launched. The Primary Kit saw a return of red as accent / trim colour and more traditional looking white shirt. It was the Secondary Kit that was adventurous with its design, a new colour entering the change kit palette with the kit being marketed as “Dark Raisin”, a shade of purple.

You again find my more detailed look at these kits here

First wearing the new Kit against Brazil in the opening International Fixture of the Year.

The second game of that International Break in March gave us the debut of the new Secondary Kit at Belgium (who also wore their change kit in the fixture).

Euro 2024, was the third tournament of this 5 year period and also the third tournament in a row where England only wore their Primary Kit.

Again reaching the final meant they played 7 games in total, wearing their default Navy Shorts in 3 games and All White in 4 games, including the Final against Spain.

The All White variation was used eight times in total in 2024, the single most used look of that year, with the default navy shorts being used just six times.

Breakdown per year – 67 Games in Total

  • 2020 – 8 Games
    • 2 Primary Kit Variations
    • 1 Secondary Kit Variation
  • 2021 – 19 Games
    • 2 Primary Kit Variations
    • 1 Secondary Kit Variation
  • 2022 – 13 Games
    • 4 Primary Kit Variations
    • 2 Secondary Kit Variations
  • 2023 – 10 Games
    • 2 Primary Kit Variations
    • 1 Secondary Kit Variation
  • 2024 – 17 Games
    • 2 Primary Kit Variations
    • 1 Secondary Kit Variation

Well, that is the first half of 2020’s completed, 67 games in total, more games than any other five year period, there were three official primary and three secondary kits used and total of 9 different kit variations!

Arsenal used their 6th different Goalkeeper Kit look of the season (10 games), wearing the yellow Trefoil Template, this was the 3rd different colour goalkeeper kit used in their 3rd Kits three outings and the 2nd different yellow goalkeeper kit used.

Wolverhampton Wanderers used their 3rd Kit for 3rd time this season, also having used their Away Kit once, this means they have worn change kits for as many times as they did in total last season in their opening 10 games of the season.

AFC Bournemouth lost their first game of the season in their Home Kit, this was the 8th game (out of 10) wearing the Kit winning five and drawing two of the first seven games using this look, they were also the only Away team to wear their default Home Kit this weekend.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, two nice looking kits and with Manchester United in contrasting socks (as regular readers will know one of my favourite kit looks), this was always going to be a winner this week.

Match 3 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Nine teams have just worn a single kit look in the three games so far – Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Chelsea, Copenhagen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Kairat, Moncao, Real Madrid and Villarreal.

This was the Matchweek where we saw the use of 4th Kits for the first time this season, however for two very different reasons..

Manchester City’s 4th Kit is in collaboration with EA SPORTS FC.

Sporting CP’s 4th Kit was a Charity Kit raising awareness for Brest Cancer for Pink October.

Galatasaray wore a nice variation of their Home Kit, which was paired with their white Away shorts.

Juventus are yet to wear their Home Kit in the competition so far this season, having worn their 3rd twice (including once at Home) and Away Kit.

PSG are one of the teams to make it three kits in three games, with their 3rd Kit, which is my favourite of the T90 Nike 3rd Kits this season.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Chelsea and Ajax, as regular followers will know I do enjoy a contrasting sock colour with a kit look, so both teams going for this was always going to be a match up I enjoyed.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

  • 21 Home Kits
  • 5 Away Kits
  • 6 3rd Kits
  • 2 “Cup” Kit
  • 2 4th Kits

Liverpool in their 4th Kit Variation of the season and their 2nd different look for their 3rd Kit and have yet to use the default look in Premier League (they have used in Champions League).

They also used the standard Adidas Goalkeeper kit (yellow template) rather than a Trefoil Goalkeeper Kit.

Crystal Palace continue to wear change kits in all of their away games this season, having worn their Gold Kit in four games and All White Kit in one game.

West Ham’s all claret look means they have worn four different kit looks in their last four games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Newcastle United and Fulham, Fulham’s 3rd Kit this season is an interesting look, and the all fluro green look worked well matched against Newcastle’s Home Kit.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 2 Away and 3 Third Kit in action.

There were three Kit variations used in this Matchweek, one Home, one Away and one 3rd.

  • West Ham United – Home, All Claret

Kit News

Manchester City have launched a “Special” Kit in collaboration with EA SPORTS FC, for those fans purchasing the kit will be able to use the club crest to unlock exclusive items within the game. The kit will get some match action, as it will be worn by the Men’s team in the Champions League away fixtures, debuting against Villarreal on 21st October, and by the Women’s team in domestic fixtures throughout the season.

The Adidas Trefoil Kits which have been club’s 3rd Kits over the past two seasons are rumoured to be changing to Away Kits for next season, this ties in with use of the Trefoil for Away Kits in next summer’s World Cup.

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”
