Levekusen in Away kit at Liverpool (a kit worn by their goalkeeper in the last round of fixtures).

Man City in Home / white socks at Sporting CP!

AC Milan in an alternative look for their Home Kit this season, but remains a classic AC Milan look with black shorts / socks, this also opens up more alternative possibiltes for future fixtures with their default white shorts / socks.

Bayern Munich used their 3rd Kit at Home for a second in this competition, this means they are yet to to wear their Home Kit in their opening 4 games!

12 Team in total have worn three different kit looks in their opening four games.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Sparta Prague and Brest, Brest another team in an interesting kit mash up, using 3rd shorts with their away kit for a look very much like a “Team USA” kit and paired with the lovely tri-colour kit of Sparta Prague made a good visual match up.

There have been 7 instances of teams wearing home kit variations (all alternative socks) an no team in yet to win in their alternative look!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between AFC Bournemouth and Manchester City, again Bournemouth’s clean looking kit (aside the sponsor) stands out, and matched up with Man City, both look great in action.

Premier League: Matchweek 9 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

The Premier League has now completed Matchweek 9, just under a quarter of the way through the season and this weekend also saw the return of Friday Night Football for the first time since Matchweek 1.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 9 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 58 (+5 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 55 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were five new Kit looks this Matchweek..

AFC Bournemouth used their 3rd Kit for the first time this season at Aston Villa.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore a change kit in The Premier League for the first time this season, wearing their Away kit at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fulham wore alternative black socks with their Home Kit for the first different variation of their Home kit in 24/25.

Manchester United wore their 3rd Kit in it’s 3rd different look of the season, this time with alternative charcoal socks to match the shorts.

Liverpool wore their Away kit for the first time in the League this season having previously worn it in the Champions League.

The two new goalkeeper kits on show

  • Aston Villa – Blue Adidas Template
  • Manchester United – Green Adidas Trefoil

Kit Highlights

This weekend was the first use of the Premier League “winter ball”, the yellow version of the Nike ball, it was also the first weekend the teams donned the “Poppy” on their shirts, which will be auctioned off for relevant charities by the clubs.

Manchester United have now worn 5 different Kit Variations in just 9 games, wearing a different Kit look in each of their 5 away games, they are also keeping this up with their Goalkeeper Kits, wearing 5 different Goalkeeper kits including two version of the “Adidas Trefoil” template, but yet still to wear the black version they are selling!

EDIT: Another thing to notice here is that the socks with this keeper kit are not matching, these appear to be the standard green Adidas socks (notice the logo and the lime green detailing) rather than the Adidas Originals logo, which would likely be in white. (Thanks to Darren who called this out in the comments below).

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between West Ham United and Manchester United, I do enjoy seeing this Manchester United 3rd kit in action, and with the alternative socks this weekend might just be my favourite look… paired with a classic West Ham look, just a nice Kit Match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

There were two variations seen this weekend

  • Fulham – Home, alternative black socks
  • Manchester United – 3rd, alternative charcoal socks

Kit Grid – Up to 28th October

Kit News

Arsenal are the next team to launch their Originals collection for this season after Manchester United and Newcastle United, the collection has a shirt that is being referred a “retro third” collection, which is based on the Home Shirt used between 1991 and 1993 but in navy / lilac sleeves.

It could be argued “Tailored by Umbro” has made a return, with a minor update to Michail Antonio’s West Ham United Home shirt, the round collar has been adapted by the manufacturer after the player was cutting the collar for comfort.

  • Lille – 3rd
  • Feyenoord – 3rd
  • Manchester City – Home
  • Sparta Prague – 3rd / Away socks

Kit Highlights

Slovan Bratislave wore an unexpected kit, is it a 4th Kit or a Cup Kit, time will tell but it was not expected at Girona.

PSV went for All White look at PSG, wearing alternative white shorts and socks to give the clean overall look at PSG.

AC Milan went for their 3rd Kit at Home against Club Brugge, another look not expected and meant they used Home. Away 3rd Kits in their opening 3 games.

Thanks to @SVBJude04 who shared that Bayer Leverkusen Goalkeeper Matěj Kovář who wore the Leverkusen Away Kit, with the team in their 3rd Kit at Brest, they went with outfield change kit as their choice for evening… something we are certainly behind in Kit Geek Towers.

11 Team in total have worn three different kit looks in their opening three games.

Manchester City and Slovan Bratislava have worn three different kits, with 4th / Cup Kits being used.

Bayer Levekusen and Sparta Prague have both worn their 3rd Kits in two different variations to give their three different looks.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Juventus and Stuttgart, there were plenty of nice kit match ups on show this week but this one was my favourite, Juventus appear to be using white shorts / socks in Europe this season and paired with a classic looking Stuttgart Away kit gave us a nice balance in their game!

The three new goalkeeper kits on show

  • Arsenal – Fluro Yellow

  • Crystal Palace – Charcoal Grey

Kit Highlights

Liverpool used their charity sponsor for this weekend’s game against Chelsea, linked to the regular front of shirt sponsor Standard Charter, they have used this “Futuremakers” logo in previous seasons in one off games.

Arsenal became the fourth team already this season to use four different goalkeeper kits when they used their “Trefoil” goalkeeper kit, the same as used by Manchester United but like the Red Devils it was only the black version that they promoted with the kits during the launch. The other teams with four goalkeeper kits this season are, Manchester United, Liverpool and Southampton… to compare last season, three team used 4 kits all season!

There are six teams that have worn change kits in all their Away games so far this season, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United and Southampton!

Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only team to use just one kit look this season so far in the League and given their upcoming fixtures looks likely to remain that way well into November!

Crystal Palace used a different goalkeeper kit for the first time this season, moving away from their aqua kit to a charcoal grey version of this Macron Template.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between AFC Bournemouth and Arsenal, the Bournemouth kit this season is a clean and classy look, paired with Arsenal’s vibrant 3rd kit worked well for a nice looking match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

There were two variations seen this weekend

  • West Han United – Home, with alternative sky blue socks (2nd time used)
  • Arsenal – 3rd Kit, alternative socks

Kit News

It looks like Adidas will be increasing their “Elite” teams with the Premier League from next season, currently there are just two teams in this bracket (Arsenal and Manchester United) from the Premier League out of the five in total.

Next season Newcastle United will be joining them, and with rumours of Liverpool deal already in place for next season, it now looks like Aston Villa will also be joining this “Elite” list as well, giving the Premier League five teams in total that may have a “Trefoil” logo with their 3rd Kit next season!

The Liverpool Goalkeeper Kit was the standard keeper template from Nike this season, however it did not use the rotated Nike “Tick” as seen on their 3rd Kit this season, thanks to our friend Jim for calling this detail out this weekend.

Newcastle United and Southampton continue to wear changes kits in all their Away games this season, with Southampton in their Away Kit in all of these games, Newcastle have used 3 different kit looks in their 4 Away games.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester City and Fulham, two kits that worked just well together and Fulham in Red / Black just works as a change kit!

The Premier League hits Matchweek 6 and all teams have played home and away three times now, so it is time to take a deeper look into the kits worn this weekend.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, with all 60 Kits now being confirmed

Matchweek 6 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 47 (+3 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new Kits seen this Matchweek..

West Ham United another team in a variation this week, this one was their first outing in their Away Kit but was used with White (Home) Socks.

Aston Villa used their Away Kit for the second time in this season but this was the first in it’s default look.

The 3 new goalkeeper kits on show and 2 of them from The Merseyside Clubs.

  • Everton – Pink
  • Liverpool – Purple
  • AFC Bournemouth – White

Kit Highlights

West Ham United have become the first team to wear 4 Kit Variations this season, with Away used this weekend, 2 Home Kit looks and a 3rd Kit appearance, making it 4 Kits in 6 Games!

Everton and Jordan Pickford wore an alternative goalkeeper kit for the first time this season, with the use of their 3rd choice pink keeper’s kit against Crystal Palace having worn a green kit for the previous 5 games.

There are 6 Teams that have worn change kits in all of their Away games this season, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United and Southampton, with Brighton, Crystal Palace and Southampton wearing just their Away Kits in these games!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Brentford and West Ham United, I do love a Kit Mash up, and seeing different elements of kits being used together, so seeing the Black Away Shirt and Shorts paired with Home Socks was always going to be popular with me, matched against the Brentford Kit just seemed to work well!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits and 5 Away Kits.

A couple of variations seen this weekend, both mentioned above as they used for the first time

  • Manchester City – Home with Alternative White Socks
  • West Ham United – Away with Home Socks (white)

Kit Grid – Up to 1st October

Kit News

Manchester United have launched their “George Best” Collection, inspired by their iconic player and winner of Ballon d’Or in 1968 and European Cup in the same year, the collection takes influence for the kit worn in that final at Wembley and includes a tracksuit jacket, trousers and a long sleeve shirt containing Best’s signature and the number 7 in the same style used on those kits.

Another team in the Adidas family also released a retro range this week, with Newcastle United launching of their “Originals” range. The shirt is a cracker, many fans and kit lovers expressing their preference to this shirt of the current Home Shirt.

Chelsea are rumoured to be close to reaching an agreement for their front of shirt sponsorship, the club are talks with three major Airlines, belived to be Qatar Airways, Riyahd Air and Turkish Airlines, with the deal expected to be annouced in the coming weeks. I would expect the new shirt sponsor will be debuted after the next International Break in October.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back later this week with Champions League, Match 2 and then after next weekend’s fixtures for Premier League.

Premier League: Matchweek 5 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

The Premier League is now in full swing for the 2024/25 Season and the first European Club games have happened in the last week, so it is time to take a more in depth look at the Kits worn this weekend.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, with all 60 Kits now being confirmed

Matchweek 5 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 44 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 44 (+4 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were 2 new Kits seen this Matchweek..

Chelsea wore their Away Kit in it’s default look with Blue Socks for the first time this season at West Ham United

Manchester United wore their 3rd Kit, this was with alternative shorts and was the first “Trefoil” Adidas Logo to be used since the 1992/93 Season (Arsenal Away).

There was also 4 new Goalkeeper Kits on show this weekend

  • Manchester United – Fluro Yellow
  • Tottenham Hotspur – Orange
  • West Ham United – Pink
  • Wolverhampton Wanderers – Pink

Kit Highlights

Manchester United have now worn 4 different Goalkeeper Kits in their opening 5 games of the season, with this “Fluorescent Yellow” kit, this was an unexpected Kit, with a Black version of this kit being advertised with the 3rd Kit (Trefoil Logo), so likely we will see a 5th version at some point this season!

Interesting choice of Kit by Brentford for their visit to Tottenham Hotspur, their 3rd navy sleeves as well as Spurs having Navy Sleeves, deemed as no clash… maybe with VAR in place sleeve clashes are less of issue when it comes to team’s kits!

Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers are still the two teams who have worn just one kit this season so far, Wolves did wear an alternative Goalkeeper Kit this week for the first time though!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United, the two kits work so well together, one full of design detail and one simple in it’s aesthetic, so a great combo in my view.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits and 3 Away and 3 3rd Kits in action.

Again, variations are not really something we have seen so far this season, with just one this week and only the 3rd of the season so far!

  • Manchester United – 3rd with “off” white shorts

Kit Grid – Up to 23rd September

Kit News

No firm news this week, there are starting to be some reports of future kit details and designs but as always we will only report when these things are confirmed by the clubs themselves.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back after next weekend’s fixtures.

Champions League: Match 1, Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit History, Kit NewsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 11 Comments

This season see a new format of the Champions League, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and create a Matchweek Kit Review, much like my Premier League ones… so here we are, looking at Match 1 of The Champions League, 2024/25 Edition!

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

This gives 103 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to a 4th Kits or Cup Kits that we are likely to see in use over the coming months!

Match 1 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 36

New Kits this Matchweek

As the first week of the Competition, all 36 kits are being used for the first time!

Kit Highlights

Due to some of the regional country laws around sponsorship gave some slightly different Kit Looks..

Aston Villa wore a Charity Sponsor (one they have used before) in their game at BSC Young Boys, their first game in Europe’s Premier Competition for over 40 years!

Stuttgart wore their Away Kit at Real Madrid, but went with no sponsor to give them a plan chest band on the kit, for a classic look!

Bayern Munich followed their recent trend of wearing change kits in Home European games, by wearing their “Trefoil” Clad 3rd Kit in the emphatic 9-2 victory against Dinamo Zagreb.

As pointed out by our friend Denis of Museum of Jerseys all 11 of Liverpool players were in Green, although different shades in their game at AC Milan.

Manchester City debuted their 4th Kit in their Home game against …., released just last week they were quick to use the kit (even before using their 3rd kit) and it was in a Home fixture, is this a trend we will see for the rest of the campaign for The English Champions!

Only three teams wore Home Kits in Away games, Inter Milan at Manchester City (possible only due to 4th kit being worn at Home), Girona at PSG and Arsenal at Atalanta.

Borussia Dortmund wore their “Cup Kit” at Club Brugge, so could be argued it was actually four teams!

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between AS Monaco and Barcelona, a nice Kit Match up with two good kits for these teams this season..!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

  • 20 Home Kits
  • 8 Away Kits
  • 6 3rd Kits
  • 1 4th Kit
  • 1 “Cup” Kit

Kit Variations seen this week

  • Juventus – Home, with alternative white shorts & socks
  • Aston Villa – 3rd, with alternative white shorts
  • Bayer Leverkusen – 3rd, with alternative white shorts & socks
