Kit Variation by each team

Something that I have created last season which provided to be popular was an overview of when each of the new kits were first worn, for example… Brentford wore Home Kit and Away Kit in their first two games and then 3rd Kit in game four.

Match 1 to Match 19

Match 20 to Match 38

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…

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”.

There have been a few official kit launches for next season, and we have seen these kits in action over these penultimate round of fixtures.

Manchester City’s Home Kit will feature a sash for the first time, something often seen in change kits over the years but will now adorn the Home Shirt.

Arsenal’s new Home Kit goes back to just red and white for classic look, the shirt also contains a repeating pattern using the Gothic “A” often seen used through out the club’s history.

Chelsea’s Home kit continues to their recent trend of adding a detailed pattern within the shirt, this one identified as one that “celebrates the city’s iconic architecture, with our classic royal blue paired with a new vibrant shade”. The kit does include some red / white flashes in the side panels that provide some change from recent season.

It’s not just new shirts getting some love this week, Brentford who’s deal with Umbro is ending in the coming weeks have come up with a unique way to use their remaining shirts. They are launching a limited run of bespoke shirts made by upcycling unused stock from the last four seasons’ Umbro football shirts. Created in collaboration with design platform (re)boot and ROW_____Z, the project aims to reduce textile waste and highlight sustainable fashion in football.

Each shirt is unique and handmade using parts of home, away and third kits worn during Brentford’s four Premier League seasons and available from the Club’s shop.

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.

Cheltenham Town wore a charity shirt for The British Heart Foundation on 25th January 2025.

Doncaster Rovers in a Charity Kit on 12th April 2025.

Morecambe wore a special one off kit on 8th December 2024.

Kit Highlights and Summary

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.

Lincoln City wore change kits in all 23 Away games in their League One Campaign, wearing their all white Away Kit 10 times, their all black 3rd Kit 5 times and “Mash Ups” of these two kits in another 8 games!

For the second season in a row Charlton Athletic wore their change kits in 22 of their 23 away games, the only game which they wore their Home Kit away from The Valley was the game against Cambridge United on 12th April 2025.

Northampton Town, also matched this record of 22 of their 23 games in changes kit, their only use of Home Kit in an Away game was also at Cambridge United, on 29th March 2025.

Blackpool were another team on the road not to use their default Home Kit, wearing All Tangerine (using their 3rd shorts) when in their Home Kit away from Bloomfield Road

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.

There were some examples of Charity Kit Usage in League One this season.

Lincoln City, had the only dedicated Charity Kit worn on 25th January 2025.

Mansfield Town kept their tradition for support raise awareness for World Down’s Syndrome Day by wearing their Away socks with their Home Kit on 8th April 2025.

Stevenage wore their Charity 3rd Kit at Home on 18th April, they had worn this Kit on two previous occasions but this was the only time it was worn at Home.
