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

Bologna wore their 3rd Kit at Home against Lille, the 3rd time they have worn the kit this season in the competition but the first time at home!

Although not an actual kit from the game, but as part of the build up to the game between AS Monaco and Benfica this wonderful graphic was created which incorparates the kits worn in the match as F1 Overalls.

Five Teams in total have worn four different kit looks in their opening five games.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Manchester City and Feyenoord, not only a cracking game on the pitch but the two kits used worked well together and I do enjoy constrasting socks, so both team in this look is a win for me!

Overall this Matchweek we have seen the following kits…

  • 22 Home Kits
  • 7 Away Kits
  • 5 3rd Kits
  • 2 “Cup” Kits

The Premier League is back after the 3rd and final International Break of 2024 and as we ramp up to Christmas the fixtures will come around quickly with nine rounds of fixtures over the next six weeks!

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 12 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 67 (+3 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 59 (+1 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new Kit looks this Matchweek..

Nottingham Forest wore alternative Sky Blue shorts with their 3rd Kit!

Wolverhampton Wanderers were in their 3rd Kit for first time this season.

Manchester United wore alternative shorts and socks with their Home Shirt to create a Red / Black / White look at Ipswich Town.

The one new goalkeeper kit on show:

  • Wolverhampton Wanderes – Dark Purple

Kit Highlights

Brentford wore their Home Kit in an away game for the first time this season at Everton, they are final team to do this in 2024/25, it also was their first point in away game having lost the prevous five worn in change kits.

Chelsea continue their 100% record in their Away kit this season, making it 3 wins in 3 this weekend (2 with alternative socks, as worn here).

The four Umbro supplied team’s goalkeepers all wore the same template kit this weekend, with AFC Bournemouth, Brentford, Ipswich Town and West Ham United all using the yellow goalkeeper kit!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between AFC Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion, mainly due this being the first match up this season by two teams in striped shirts… the Bournemouth Home Kit (sponsor aside) is fantastic this season, and seeing the contrast in stripes with Brighton shirt worked well for me!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 3 Away Kit and 2 3rd Kits

There were three variations seen this weekend

  • Chelsea – Away with alternative socks, 2nd time worn this season
  • Nottingham Forest – 3rd, alternative Sky Blue Shorts
  • Manchester United – Home with black shorts and white socks

Kit Grid – Up to 26th November

Kit News

Leicester City’s front of shirt sponsor BC.Game announced this week that they have been declared bankrupt, however news from the club is that their sponsor is still committed to the club and will remain on shirts…. one to keep an eye on!

Tottenham Hotspur have annouced a “remastering” of their brand, the headline of this is course an amendment to the club crest which see the word mark of the club removed, leaving just the cockerel. However there is more to this change than just this, there is an re-introduction of a club “wordmark”, 7 Club “Hallmarks” created for the club, we will see these on the kits in the coming seasons!

The most interesting update for me is club introducing a colour palette, does this give us hint of the colours will club will use for their kits going forward, nothing surprising to see but they are closely linked to kits of the club’s past!

Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced a special kit to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of “Floodlight Friendly” win against Honved in 1954, a game that key in the creation of The European Cup. The reflective looking design with minimal branding will be worn against Ipswich Town on 14th December.

Full details can be found on the club website here

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
