So for those of a certain age will know all about Top Trumps, so for this set I have looked at the kits of each of the 20 Premier League Teams, Home, Away and Third kits and stats around these kits, the stats I have picked are the following:
League Games Worn – How many league games was the kit (and variations) worn
Variations of Kit – The number of variations of that kit were worn
Games Won – Number of games won wearing the kit(s)
Points Won – Number of points won wearing the kit(s)
Points per game – The average number of points per game (total points / games worn) per kit
I have not included games where 25 / 26 kits were worn, for example their final Home game wearing their new kit is not included in the card data.
I have highlighted the “Top Trump” in each section in “Gold and Black”.
The cards by each team….
There they are, 60 Top Trump cards… any surprises there, Wolverhampton Wanderers wearing their Home Kit in 34 games, Fulham’s 2.25 points per game in their 3rd Kit, Aston Villa scoring 52 points in their home kit, Nottingham Forest’s 4 variations of their 3rd Kit?
What would you consider as the overall “Top Trump” card, Liverpool Home Kit or something else?
Are there any other stats that you think I should have used for future Top Trump looks at Football Kits.

Knock-Out Rounds:
Knock Out Round
This new round of fixtures saw both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund who just wore the single kit in the League phase in new looks, with Madrid in their Away Kit and Dortmund using alternative yellow shorts with their European Cup Kit.
One of the more interesting Kit used for the first time in this round was AC Milan who wore their 3rd Kit with its alternative socks, which were pink to match some of the detailing within the shirt (sponsor / collar inlet).
Last 16
Feyenoord became the team with the most Kit Variations in this season’s competition when they wore their 6th Kit Look, with Home Kit and alternative white shorts and socks.
There were a couple of other new looks in these fixtures, Arsenal in alternative white shorts with their Away Kit, Inter Milan went all yellow with alternative shorts with their 3rd Kit and Benfica used their 3rd Kit for the first time in the competition.
Quarter Finals
Real Madrid wore their 3rd Kit, one of Adidas Trefoil 3rd Kits for the first time in the competition at Arsenal.
Barcelona wore their only their only alternative kit variation in their quarter final game at Borussia Dortmund, wearing “off white” shorts with their Home Kit for one of the more unusual looks seen by club, but one that goes back into their history with their first ever kits taking this look.
Semi Finals
PSG continued to use their 4th Kit in an away games in the competition, this has been the way through out the knock out rounds (they are the only team to make from the initial knock out rounds) and have used in their final two group games, one home and one away.

Final

Kit Grid
Below is a graphic of what kits where worn against what teams, its one that I share on a weekly basis on my Twitter Account – @Kit_Geek
Kit Tables
One area I like to look at is a team’s performance in their kit, I have created the below tables (Home, Away and 3rd Kit), all shirt variations are included in each section, e.g. Aston Villa and Manchester United’s four Home Kit variations are all included in the “Home Kit” Table and based on “Points per Game” used ratio.
Home Kits
No real surprises here, with Liverpool heading up the points per game table, although in comparison to last season three teams (including Liverpool) scored a better points per game average than 2.17 of this season. Liverpool also scored the most points with 63!
The three relegated teams all scored under a point per game!
Away Kits
Again, no surprises at the top of this table with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea heading the top 3 with the top 2 the only teams to average more than 2 points per game in their Away Kit.
Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points this season in their Away Kit, with 19 points, a win on the final day in this kit at Tottenham Hotspur meant they finished with more points than Crystal Palace.
There are some of the traditionally larger teams towards the bottom here, 11 teams in total averaged 1 point of less per game in their Away with Aston Villa and Manchester City both only averaging 1 point per game and further six teams scoring less than a point per game, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Southampton, who wore their Away Kit the most amount of times this season (15 games), only managed 1 win, 1 draw to score just 4 points in this kit this season.
3rd Kits
The 3rd Kit points per game table gave us Manchester City at the top with 2.4 points per game. Fulham in 2nd place and overall 5 teams scoring 2 points or more on average in their 3rd Kit.
Nottingham Forest scored the most points in their 3rd kit, with 16 point in it’s 10 uses (also the most worn 3rd Kit).
Chelsea (1 game) and Tottenham Hotspur (2 games) failed to score a point in their 3rd Kit and Brighton & Hove Albion did not use their 3rd (2023 / 24 Away Kit) at all this season.
Summary and Highlights
There was a slight increase in the number of kits worn this season from last year, with 113 Different Kits used compared to the 110 of 2023 / 24 season, however that does include the use of 3 kits from next season (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United) compared the 1 (Liverpool) from this time last year!
There were plenty of discussion points through the season with the kits used, some of the highlights for me are the following.
Lets start with Aston Villa, they used an incredible 13 different Kit Looks this season, this is the most that have been used by a single team in a season since I have been keeping this records. They wore this season’s kits in 12 different looks and then debuted next season’s Away kit in their final game of the season.
The used their Home Kit in four different variations…
Away Kit in four different variations….
and 3rd Kit also in four different variations….
Manchester United used once less Kit Variation than last season but still managed to use 10 different looks this season, this was made up of four Home Kit looks…. and three looks for both Away and 3rd Kits.
Newcastle United’s first season back with Adidas, gave us ten different kit variations in the League this season, including four combinations of their wonderful Away Kit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers used alternative “Old Gold” shorts in nine games in total this season and all of these have taken place since they changed their Manager in December (is this Vítor Pereira’s preference on the road?) and have only worn a change Kit Once in 24 games, their final use of change kit was on 29th December 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur and ended up in their Home Kit in 34 of the 38 games.
The single most worn outfield kit look was Ipswich Town’s Home Kit which was worn 30 times this season.
Nottingham Forest used their 3rd Kit in four different looks this season, they also secured the most points in 3rd Kits, with 16 points won in it’s 10 games worn as the team qualified for European Football for the first time in 30 years.
One of interesting Kit Stories of the season was use of claret socks by Brentford when they played at West Ham United. Initially it was believed that visitors had used a pair of change socks from their hosts but closer inspection shows that these were standard Umbro Teamwear socks, not from West Ham Kit room…!
Southampton wore change kits in 18 of their 19 Away games this season, their only use of Home Kit away from St.Mary’s in the Premier League was their game at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 9th November (Matchweek 11).
Two other kits were also worn 30 times, these were the goalkeeper kits of Everton and Leicester City (both shades of green for the traditionalists out there).
Compared to last season, the Goalkeeper Kit Usage was very different with 72 different Goalkeeper kits used, this is an increase of 18% with 61 Kits used last season.
Both Arsenal and Manchester United wore 7 different Goalkeeper Kits this season.
Arsenal wore three of the standard Adidas Templates, two of their 3rd Kits (Adidas Trefoil), their new 2025 / 26 kit in their final Home game of the season and this wonderful Mash Up of their yellow and black keeper templates.
Manchester United’s 7 Goalkeeper Kits were made up of their three standard templates and they had use of three different 3rd Kit looks (Adidas Trefoil), their 7th look was their use of Green Adidas Trefoil Kit which was first used with the regular green template socks (one for the more eagle eyed Kit spotters out there).
Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Southampton all used four different Goalkeeper Kits this season, all using different looks with no mash ups.
There we have it…

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Ipswich Town and West Ham United, The Hammers giving us an unexpected Kit look in the final game, and the last viewing of this Ipswich Town kit in the Premier League for nice overall match up.

Kit News
There have been a few official kit launches for next season of these final weeks of the season.
Aston Villa launched their 2025 / 26 Away Kit, Predominantly a black shirt, the design on the raglan shoulders is “inspired by the Bullring, one of the iconic landmarks on the skyline of Birmingham”. This is the first kit launch since Aston Villa have become one of Adidas’s top tier teams.
Newcastle United are another launching their New Home Kit, this one sees blue trim returning to home kit as an accent colour. The design takes inspiration from a “classic northern motif – the shepherd’s check – blending it seamlessly with our historic vertical stripes to create something fresh, and undeniably Newcastle”.

For those that follow EFL Clubs or the leagues in general, I have now published my End of Season reviews for The Championship, League One and League Two (Links can be found below).
On Saturday 17th May 2025, the 143rd FA Cup Final was hosted at Wembley between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Crystal Palace lifted the Cup, their first major trophy win in their History.
A total of 745 teams entered the competition, with 124 teams competing from First Round onward. This was the first time in the competition’s history that there were no replays played from the First Round.
I am taking this opportunity to look back at this season’s competition and the Kits worn by the teams from the First Round.
First Round – 1st November to 4th November 2024
80 Teams kicked off the First Round of the FA Cup this season, 48 teams from League One and League Two and 32 Non-League Teams, with Horsham and Guiseley being the lowest ranked teams in the competition, playing in the 7th Tier of English Football.
Tamworth and Huddersfield Town provided an interesting Kit Match up, with a lot going on with both kits, my favourite match up of this round.
Shrewsbury Town wore a mash up of their Away Kit / Home shorts and socks, a look they did not use in their League One Campaign.
Another nice looking Kit Match up was the game between Woking and Cambridge United, Woking in their traditional white / red halved shirt, matched up against Cambridge’s wonderful 3rd kit!
Second Round – 29th November to 1st December 2024
40 Teams in the Second Round, with only 9 Non League Clubs remaining in the competition.
Wealdstone and Wycombe Wanderers Kit match up was a nice one, with Wycombe in their 3rd Kit, one of Hummel’s “Mexico” Templates.
There was a lot of Blue / Yellow on show when AFC Wimbledon hosted Dagenham & Redbridge. The National League side who won this game, played all games from the First to Third Round in their Away Kit.
I do have a soft spot for Red / Black Kits (I think its a love of AC Milan from the 80s / 90s), so Kettering Town’s Home Kit was great to see in action, and matched up with Doncaster Rover’s Away kit gave us a nice looking Kit Match up!
Third Round – 9th January to 14th January 2025
The FA Cup Third Round, one of the highlights of the English Football Calendar with teams from Premier League and Championship entering the competition, giving us a total of 64 Teams left to compete, there was just two Non-League teams left, with Tamworth and Dagenham & Redbridge.
Aston Villa used the FA Cup to wear their special 150th Anniversary Kit, a wonderful looking kit that was elegant in it’s simplicity, carry an original Club Crest and just player Numbers, a shame it was only used in this one game.
Arsenal used their “No More Red” special Charity Kit, their fourth year of wearing an all white kit to highlight their campaign against youth violence and knife crime.
Another team in a special kit was Accrington Stanley, who wore a one off kit for their trip to Anfield to play Liverpool.
The Competition is now taking to take shape, with 32 teams left competing.
Coventry City wore a special “4th Kit” for their game against Ipswich Town, the kit was the same design / template as their Home Kit but in Navy with tonal crest, logo and sponsorship.
Chelsea used their 3rd Kit for the first time in a domestic game this season, it has only been used twice this season both games against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Fifth Round – 28th February to 3rd March 2025
In the Fifth Round, 16 teams left with just 4 of those being outside the Premier League.
Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative “Old Gold” Shorts, they used this all “Old Gold” look in their FA Cup Games this season.
One of my favourite kit usages is when a team wears a “Tri-colour” kit, with all elements of the Kit being in different colours, so Manchester City against Plymouth Argyle produced a wonderful Kit Match up with both teams in “Tri-Colour” Kits.
Quarter-Finals – 29th March to 30th March 2025
Just eight teams left in the competition, with just Preston North End being a team from outside the Premier League.
Brighton & Hove Albion had an interesting Kit Choice, when wearing their Home Kit in this season’s competition, they wore alternative blue socks in each of it’s three appearances.
Every team in the Quarter-Finals wore their Home Kit.
Semi-Finals – 26th April to 27th April 2025
There was not a lot to talk about in terms of kit in the Semi-Finals.
Aston Villa wore all white, this is using the white home shorts (the default Away shorts are sky blue), they have used this look in all Competitions (Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League) this season.
One detail to call out is with Manchester City’s Kit, is their use of a non branded FA Cup Sleeve patch this season.
This has been an ongoing issue between the Club and FA regarding sponsorship, with FA Cup being sponsored by one of Manchester City’s sponsors biggest competitors and over recent seasons they have not worn any sleeve patch (which did carry a fine for the club) but it looks like an alternative has been found with this patch being worn.
Final – 17th May 2025
Crystal Palace wore alternative white socks in the final, a look they have not used as yet this season and one that I am sure will go down in history after their victory against Manchester City, this was their 3rd different Kit Look of their campaign.
And there we have it, the FA Cup 2024 / 25… congratulations to Crystal Palace once again!

Kit Grid
Below is a graphic of what kits where worn against what teams, its one that I share on a weekly basis on my Twitter Account – @Kit_Geek
Kit Highlights and Summary
In 2024 / 25 League Two season teams wore 114 Kits, this was an increase in the number kits compared to last season where 106 Kits were worn, and the most number of Kits worn in EFL this season and still ahead of the Premier League.
The most worn Kit in the League was Swindon Town who wore their Home Kit in 35 of 46 games, and still managed to wear six Kit Variations in total, including a 4th / Charity Kit.
Chesterfield did wear their Home Kit in 40 games, wearing their default look (with white shorts) 22 times all at their Home ground, SMH Group Stadium and wearing alternative blue shorts 18 times when wearing their Home Kit when on the road!
Carlisle United were the only team in the 92 English League Clubs to use just Home and Away Kits this season, wearing their Home Kit 33 times and their Away Kit 13 times, no 3rd Kit and no mash ups or variations of their Home and Away, one for the purists!
AFC Wimbledon wore their 3rd Kit in four different variations this season. They wore it seven times in its default All White Look, and then wore elements from both Home and Away Kits for different looks!
AFC Wimbledon’s Kit set this season did cause some issue when on the road this season, at both Colchester United and Gillingham, clashes with the Home Team meant that both hosts wearing change kits at Home, Gillingham used their 3rd Kit and Colchester United wore Away with Home socks!
Colchester United were another team to make use if the Kit Sets, who wore their White Home socks and Black Away socks with each of their kits, for six of their seven Kit Variations used this season!
Morecambe provided one of my favourite Kit tales of this year on the first day of the season, playing at Walsall (who changed their Kit Look to white shorts / socks) wore their regular white away socks in the first half but changed in Walsall’s black away socks for the second half… for one of their eight different Kit looks this season!
Morecambe also used four different Home Kit Looks this season, wearing their default look 28 times, with white Away socks twice and All Red Twice, using alternative red socks just once.
There were a few “Special Kits” used in League Two this season.
Chesterfield wore one off Remembrance Kits on 9th November.

In 2024 / 24 League One season teams wore 95 Kits, this was an increase in the number kits compared to last season where 85 Kits were worn, as it stands this is the joint with the Championship with the fewest number of Kit Variations seen this season.
The most worn Kit in the League was Bolton Wanderers who wore their Home Kit in 37 times, wearing in it’s default look 36 times and with away shorts once, for an all white look. Peterborough United also wore their Home Kit 36 Kits, but did not wear any variations of their Home Kit.

Bristol Rovers wore three variations of their Away kit, each one a different pair of socks. Home, Away and 3rd socks all used!
Huddersfield Town provided some interesting Kit Usage this season, however it was not them directly.. there was eight teams that had to use alternative socks when playing at Huddersfield (who use Black socks with their Home Kit), Birmingham City, Bolton Wanderers, Bristol Rovers (see above), Charlton Athletic, Lincoln City, Peterborough United, Wigan Athletic and Wrexham all used alternative socks.
Wrexham wore their Away at Home against Crawley Town on 21st September, this was to remember the 266 men who lost their lives in the Gresford Colliery Disaster on September 22, 1934.

Kit Highlights and Summary
In 2024 / 25 Championship season teams wore 95 Kits, this was an increase on the number kits compared to last season where 85 Kits were worn, this is the joint with League One with the fewest number of Kit Variations seen this season with Luton Town using nine Kit Variations, 9.5% of the total Kits used in The Championship
The single most worn Kit in the League was Norwich City for the second season in a row, who wore their Home Kit in 39 of the 46 League games, however this was a reduction from last season having worn their Home Kit 41 times in 23 / 24 Season.
Luton Town were the Kit Lovers Team of the Championship, with a perfectly matched set of kits that was able to be mix and matched, providing nine different looks with some wonderful mash ups!
Plymouth Argyle were another team that made good use of their Kit Set, using 3rd Shorts (Black) and Away Socks (White) to provide alternative Home Kit Variations with white / black shorts and socks.
A theme seen within The Championship was the use of the Kit Set to create new looks, several teams used their Kit in this way, Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle above, there were other notable examples.
Watford made good use of their Black Away Kit shorts and socks, to keep kit looking very much to the club colours.
Preston mashed up their 3rd Kit (shirt) and Away (shorts and socks), to give a different Kit Look at Sheffield Wednesday but one that tonally worked perfectly.
Also Cardiff City, Coventry City, Millwall, Oxford United, Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke City and Swansea City, used another set of socks to create a different Kit Look, with most of these looks being used against Sheffield Wednesday!
Sheffield Wednesday’s Away Kit was an interesting story this season. When released it was shown with black / white socks, that were nice in their design, something a little different, however during the season we did not actually see these socks in action, rather plain white ones worn four times with their Away Kit (and used three times for an alternative Home Kit Look).
There were two “Special Kits” on show in the 2024 / 25 Season…
Hull City wore a special 120th Anniversary Kit against Cardiff City on 28th September.
Middlesbrough wore a “No more Red” Kit, which was a charity kit against Knife Crime, this was worn against Coventry City on 2nd November

There was just the one new kit look in these midweek fixtures and that was a goalkeeper kit.
Fulham wore their 3rd choice goalkeeper kit for the first time, which is the current Adidas Template in Green.
Kit Highlights
Arsenal wore their 3rd Kit with default socks for just the second time this season at Nottingham Forest. It was the fifth time they used the Kit in the Premier League this season, with alternative socks in three of those games.
Leicester City wore their Away kit for just the 3rd time this season, and with only wearing their 3rd Kit twice, this means that they have worn change kits just five times this season.
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham, the Fulham Away kit is a nice looking kit and being worn in this game gave us a nice looking Kit Match up.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 4 Away Kits and 2 3rd Kits
There was just the one variation seen over these fixtures.
Aston Villa – Away / Home Shorts (all white), 2nd time used

New Kits this Matchweek
There were three new kits this weekend.
Chelsea wore their 3rd Kit for the first time in Premier League this season at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Newcastle United wore their Away Kit with alternative white socks.
Brentford wore an interesting mash up at West Ham United, wearing claret socks with their Away Kit, we look at this in a little more detail shortly.
Kit Highlights
Newcastle United have now worn nine Kit Variations in Premier League this season, their look this weekend using alternative white socks with their Away Kit was their 4th different look, using all possible combinations now of navy and white shorts / socks.
Along with the four Away Kits, they have worn two Home Kit and three different 3rd Kit looks to make up the nine kits worn in total!
Brentford’s socks have caused some interesting debate this weekend, with the Pink socks of their Away Kit deemed to clash with West Ham United’s white Home socks, so Claret socks were used and at first glance it can easily be assumed that these were West Ham Socks of their 3rd kit but closer inspection, the West Ham socks carry gold Umbro detailing and thanks to @JohnSpenge on “X” who spotted they are actually current Umbro Teamwear socks. An enjoyable Kit Tale from this season!
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Newcastle United, regular readers of these weekly round ups and followers will know that contrasting socks with kits are something that I am particularly found of, so this game with both teams in this look is always going to be a winner in my eyes!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits
There were two variation seen over these fixtures.
Newcastle United – Away with Alternative white socks
Brentford – Away with claret socks
Wolverhampton Wanderers – Home with alternative “Old Gold” shorts, 4th time used
Kit Grid – Up to 16th February
