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

Let me know your thoughts or other details you spotted this week in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back after next round of Champions League games on the 1st / 2nd October 2024.

The Premier League is back after the first International Break of the season and Matchweek 4 is completed, let’s take some time to look into the Kits worn this weekend!

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

All 60 Kits have now been released, we have even seen a 61st, more on that below….!

Matchweek 4 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 42 (+7 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 40 (+6 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were 7 new Kits seen this Matchweek..

Manchester United were in a change kit for the first time this season, using their Away Kit.

Leicester City in their 3rd Kit.

Brentford in their 3rd Kit.

  • Arsenal – Pink
  • AFC Bournemouth – Blue
  • Leicester City – Black
  • Manchester City – Light Orange
  • Manchester United – Green
  • Southampton – Green

Kit Highlights

For the first time in 38 years Arsenal were forced to wear a change kit in The North London Derby againt Tottenham Hotspur, this was due to PGMOL ruling that there was too much white in the Arsenal home kit, Arsenal reportedly offered to wear alternative red shorts but their offer was rejected, so it was their Away Kit that was used…!

West Ham were the first team this season to use a Kit Variation, with alternative blue socks with their Home Kit, this was also the only Home Shirt used by an Away team this Matchweek.

This was soon followed by Chelsea, in alternative socks with their Away kit.

There just 2 teams that have only 1 kit so far this season – Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Wolves also just wearing the 1 Goalkeeper as well.

Brentford and Everton are the first team to wear Home, Away and 3rd Kits this season in their opening 4 games.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester City and Brentford, the two kits working well together to give a nice overall look on the pitch.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 11 Home Kits and 5 Away and 4 3rd Kits in action.

The first variations of the season used this weekend

  • West Ham United – Home / Blue Socks
  • Chelsea – Away / Light Orange Socks

Kit Grid – Up to 16th September

Kit News

Manchester City have release their much rumoured “4th” Kit… making it the 61st Kit of the Premier League this season, described as the below on the Manchester City website.

“Marking 30 years since the release of the album Definitely Maybe, it’s definitely City. Co-designed by lifelong Man City fan Noel Gallagher, this collection pays homage to the album that defined an era. Featuring designs inspired by the iconic Oasis album cover”

I managed to pop into the Puma store on Carnaby Street, London on the day of it’s launch to see it in person, whether the team needs a 4th Kit is another debate, but as a Kit and Kit Collection this does look great.

This may not be the last 4th Kit we see, as there is still talk of either Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur launching a 4th Shirt this season linked with Air Jordan Brand.

The final two teams to release their 3rd Kits this season, did so this week…

Aston Villa, have gone for “Midnight Blue” as their alternative change kit, giving a nice balance between their three kits.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have gone for a more flamboyant colour, “Hyper Voilet” is its description, it’s bold choice to used and will be interesting to see in action.

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

3rd Kits were used for the first time this season, with West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United using 3rd Kits this weekend.

AFC Bournemouth celebrated their 125th Anniversary with some special match detailing on their shirt worn against Newcastle United, the special crest will only be used in this game.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Aston Villa and Arsenal, for the second week in a row I have gone for Adidas v Adidas but both these kits being used for the first time this season really worked together and the Arsenal Away kit looked better in action that I was expecting!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits and 4 Away and 3 3rd Kits in action.

Premier League – Matchweek 1

Premier League: Matchweek 1 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 10 Comments

Here we go again…

The 2024 / 25 Premier League Season has now kicked off and just like last season, I will be taking a more in depth look into the Kits each Matchweek.

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

We have seen 53 out of 60 Kits released so far… with just 7 Teams left to release their 3rd Kits.

Matchweek 1 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 20
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 20

New Kits this Matchweek

Of course all kits this week are being used for the first time this season, more details will appear in this section as we move through the season and new kit looks / variations are used.

Kit Highlights

There was just the one “Kit Mash” up on show, Aston Villa who launched their Away Kit the day before their game at West Ham, went with pairing their new kit with their Home Socks to avoid a clash with West Ham who are in White Shorts and Socks this season.

Chelsea started their second consecutive season with no front of shirt sponsor, no agreement was in place for the deadline to add a sponsor, so just as last season it will be a few weeks before we see any changes here.

Arsenal started the season in an unexpected Goalkeeper Kit, having previously advised that they would use the yellow and pink versions of the current Adidas Tiro 24 template, as well as the plain Black Adidas Orginals shirt as a 3rd Option, it was the Black Tiro 24 that was used in the opening game… could be an interesting season for Keeper Kits at The Emirates, with rumours of a 5th keeper look potentially being used this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester United and Fulham, and its mainly related to those shorts… their design and look is one of my favourite kit details of this season, so seeing two team in this look was great to see in action in the opening game of the season.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits and 5 Away, with no 3rd Kits in action.

There was just the one Kit variations used in this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa, Away Kit with Home Socks

Kit Grid – Up to 20th August

Kit News

Watch this space for upcoming kit news, still a few 3rd Kits to released and a couple of potential 4th Kits, so we will take a look at those here as we move through the season as well as other Kit related news to Premier League teams.

And of course, their new first choice goalkeeper kit, which is the new Nike Goalkeeper Template in Black.

Kit Highlights

In the final games of the season, there was a record made for this season… with 8 teams in different variations of kits and all 5 Away kits on show were alternative away kit looks for their default looks!

The only two teams not in alternative looks were Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United.

Tottenham Hotspur, started and ended their season in Away Kit with Home Socks…

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Chelsea and AFC Bournemouth, the Chelsea home kit has grown on through out this season and the AFC Bouremouth Away kit with alternative navy socks is a great look and this match up works well for me.

As mentioned above, there were 8 Kit variations used in this Matchweek

Kit News

A couple of next season’s kit have been offically launched in the week, with Arsenal and Manchester City however due to Premier League rules (apparently) with the title winners not confirmed in the final games teams will have to wear their default registered kits

Arsenal’s 2024/25 Home Kit is wonderful, bringing back the “Cannon” for the Home Kit for the first time in 30 years, it is the same template we have seen with the International Kit releases, with navy blue being used across the “shardes” in the shirt and shorts, giving a nice overall balance to the kit.

Manchester City’s new Home Kit also has navy detailing, within the collar and cuffs, which contain a motif of “0161” the phone area code of Manchester. Navy Blue is more prominent in the over kit, with the socks being Navy Blue and alternative shorts also being in navy!

And there we have it, the weekly Kit Reviews for 2023/24 Season, hopefully you have enjoyed them and would like them to return next season!

Premier League: Matchweek 37 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit History, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Matchweek 37, the penultimate week of the season has now been completed. These fixtures being the reverse games from Matchweek 4.

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 37

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 109 (no new kits)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 60 (no new kits)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were no new kits on show this Matchweek, which is no surprise… we are waiting to see if we will have any 2024/25 kits on show in the final round of fixtures this season.

Kit Highlights

Brentford won for the first time this season in their Away Kit, this was the 7th time the kit was worn this season with 1 draw and 5 defeats in the previous 6 outings this season… the Kit was alao worn 6 times in Premier League last season with no victories, so it looks like in it’s last usage in its 2 year life cycle it was finally worn in victory.

Brighton & Hove Albion wore their 3rd Kit for just the second time this season (last season’s Away Kit) both occasions have been with alternative white shorts.

Liverpool remain unbeaten in the League in their Away Kit, playing 7 times with 3 wins and 4 draws.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester United and Arsenal, an all Adidas affair and seeing the Arsenal Kit on show for probably the final time is reason enough to be my favourite kit match of the week, a modern classic in my eyes!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 5 Away Kit and 3 3rd Kit in action.

There were 2 Kit variations used in this Matchweek

  • Luton Town, Away Kit with Home shorts & socks, the 4th time this look has been used
  • Brighton & Hove Albion in 3rd Kit with white shorts, 2nd time

Kit Grid – Up to 14th May 2024

Kit News

Burnley have annouced their new kit partnership with Castore, as previously reported Castore have taken over the licence to supply kits to a number of British Clubs from Umbro, so this appears to be the first of these changes.

The club announced it was a multi-year deal with Castore starting from 2024/25 Season, full details can be found on the club’s site and it’s offical annoucement here.

It has been reported that Chelsea have missed the deadline in confirming their front of shirt sponsorship for their 2024/25 kits. This means that the initial launch of their new kits are likely to be blank much like this season where they only confirmed “Infinite Athlete” once the season had kicked off… one to keep an eye on over the next few weeks.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek I will be back next week with the final weekly review and of course the big one, the full season report…!
