No New Kits since 4th July

New Kits:

Ipswich Town, Home & Away: Returning to the Championship, Ipswich Town have launched both Home and Away Kits and they are are pair of classic looking shirts, one call out with these shirts are they have matching collars and cuffs on both Home and Away, a small but really nice touch design element.

Preston North End, Away: Preston are another team that are looking to the 90s for inspiration, with this two tone blue away kit, a nice looking kit and trimmed with neon yellow.

Wrexham, Home: After three promotions in a row, Wrexham are now in The Championship and their new Home kit pays tribute to the Club’s history, “drawing inspiration from the design worn by the Red Dragons between 1981 and 1983.” The kit is paired with white shorts, however there will be red alternative shorts available if they are needed.

West Bromwich Albion, Away: Some things are just traditional and West Brom in a yellow and green Away kit is one of them, its nice to see them return to these colours for the first time since 2022 / 23 season.

League One – 38 / 72 Kits

New Kits:

Cardiff City, Away: It’s Mint Green with Emerald Green details for Cardiff City on the road this season, the kit is paired with emerald green shorts for unique colour scheme so far in the English Leagues.

Leyton Orient, Away & 3rd: Leyton Orient have now completed their Kit Set for the season with the launch of their Away and 3rd Kits, a change of colours for their alternative kits with an all “calming green” for the Away and a vibrant 3rd kit in aqua blue.

Plymouth Argyle, Away: Plymouth in all black for their Away Kit, this kit is has subtle pattern which is an homage to Charles Church, which stands as a memorial to the citizens of Plymouth who lost their lives in air-raids on the city during World War II.

Wigan Athletic, Away: A smart all navy kit, trimmed with silver detailing is the Away kit for Wigan this season, sometimes less is more…

Burton Albion, Home: Burton are celebrating their 75th Anniversary and have launched this wonderful shirt to celebrate this season which is the same as one first worn in 1950, in a club statement the colours are called out “The amber and black not only mirror the original colours worn on that historic day but are also said to represent mild and bitter – paying tribute to the brewing tradition that runs through the heart of our town.”

Mansfield Town, Home: Switching to Errea for this season, this first Home Kit is an interesting one, with the introduction of two narrow stripes within the shirt, a design that was winner in a competition from a 13 year old fan.

League Two – 36 / 72 Kits

New Kits:

Swindon Town, Home: Swindon’s new Home Kit is supporting “My Town, My Shirt” and looks at “diversity of the local football community, celebrating supporters from a range of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.” The Kit also see’s a return to white shorts as first choice.

Harrogate Town, Home & 3rd: Harrogate Town complete their Kit Set for 2025 / 26, with their new Home and 3rd Kits, what you would expect with yellow and black Home and nice all purple kit for their 3rd choice.

Barnet, Home & Away: Barnet return to EFL after an absence of seven seasons, and will be the only club supplied by Stanno. It’s a traditional club colours for both kits, which also appear to be the same template.

Salford City, Away: A black and yellow away kit is the choice for Salford this season, an interesting Adidas design and paired with black shorts and socks.

Bristol Rovers, Away: All black, graffiti style shirt and shorts are part of this Away Kit, and is design to highlight the creativity of the city and it’s people.

MK Dons, Away: The first Reebok Away kit for MK Dons, is one that looks to local history with the kit being inspired by the code-breakers of Bletchley Park, the shirt carries a subtle pattern that uses the various coded numbers. The use of grey is something new for MK Dons who traditionally wear black or red in the change colours.

Notts County, Away: Notts County take inspiration from University of Nottingham’s sports teams traditional colours in their Away Kit, the green kit will be paired with white socks and yellow trim details.

Cheltenham Town, Away: Cheltenham’s Away Kit takes inspiriation from a past kit from 1999, with this white shirt including a thin chest band. We also understand that Cheltenham will continue to use their Home Kit from last season, as the club are committed to a 2 Year Cycle of their Kits.

Shrewsbury Town, Away: This Away kit was the winner of a competition for kit designers under the age of 14 to compete in, a final short list of four was presented to Oxen who went with this lilac kit as the winner.

This week’s Kit News…..

Chelsea have reached the final of the Club World Cup, they have worn their new Away three times during the tournament and have worn it in three different looks, none of them being the default look with light shorts and green socks!

The Heat Press ’25: Kit Round up, 1st July

The Heat Press returns for issue number 2 of it’s summer series looking at the kits released in English Football over the last few days, with 15 new kits launched since Issue 1.

Issue 1 can be found here

A reminder that I will take a regular look at the Kits launched across the English Leagues and beyond, the discussion points and anything else Kit Related that comes up over these pre-season weeks.

I will only share those kits that have been officially released, as there are plenty of leaks that do the rounds but we will keep those official launches.

You will also find my Kit Overview illustrations for each of the four divisions which will used to document the Kit Usage of all 92 English Clubs.

Premier League – 14 / 60 Kits

New Kits:

Newcastle United, 3rd: The Adidas Trefoil logos are back for their 3rd Kits this season, and this is Newcastle’s first one, a kit that looks back to another Adidas kit from the past, with the use of blue with orange trim as with 1997 Away Kit. An interesting collar design, we wait to see what this looks like in action.

Brighton & Hove Albion, Home: Interesting use of stripes with the new Brighton Kit, with a change between the white and blue either side of the sponsor band, this kit appears to be paired with blue socks as first choice this season and also contains “Hyperturk” accent details, from the popular change kit used over 2 seasons between 2021 and 2023.

It also appears that The Seagulls will be keeping their now tradition of using the previous season’s away kit as the coming season’s 3rd Kit, the all yellow kit will be their 3rd kit this season!

Championship – 9 / 72 Kits

New Kits:

Stoke City, Away: Return to one of their looks in the 90s, this striking purple kit will be the Away kit for Stoke City this season, the yellow detailing really works well with this kit and one I am looking forward to seeing in action.

Birmingham City, Home: It’s 150th Anniversary kit for Birmingham City this season, the shirt which is the same Nike Template as the England Home Kit will be blue with gold detailing, including a special gold club crest.

Oxford United, Home: The tagline for Oxford’s new kit is “Inspired by heritage” and this is certainly a classic looking shirt for the coming season.

League One – 21 / 72 Kits

New Kits:

AFC Wimbledon, Home, Away, 3rd: Lotto returns to English football with AFC Wimbledon launched all three shirts on the same day, delivering a nice looking Home shirt, with a simple but classic feel but some nice detailing in the shirt.

An interesting colour choice for AFC Wimbledon away kit, fluro green has been used in the past as alternative colour for The Dons but not paired with black, it’ll be interesting to see this kit in action.

The final offering is possible the best of the lot with the yellow 3rd Kit, the side panels of this shirt carrying the “lotto” logo is simply wonderful.

Huddersfield Town, Home: Another team that have change suppliers over the summer, Castore have delivered a nice looking kit, this kit celebrates 100 years since their 3 League Championship titles won in a row.

Exeter City, Home: Exeter City continue their partnership with Adidas, their last home kit was used for two seasons, it is yet to confirmed if this will also be used for two season. Nice take on the stripes with this shirt.

Barnsley, Home: Oxen are a Kit Manufacturer that come up with interesting design concepts, at first glance this appears to be a simple design, but a closer look you will see details in the shirt of Yorkshire rose, as well as side panels that take inspiration from some 90s shirt elements, also the Yorkshire rose detail is part of the short design!

Leyton Orient, Home: Following last season’s home kit was always going to be a tough ask, this is a solid effort, there are some side panel checked details within the shirt that makes it stand out from just a generic template.

League Two – 21 / 72 Kits

New Kits:

MK Dons, Home: Another club that has joined the Reebok return to English football, a little more gold detailing than we have seen over recent years, a solid start in terms of design.

Harrogate Town, Away: Plenty of neon on show for Harrogate Town on the road this coming season, with a “highlighter” blue away kit, trimmed with neon pink.

Tranmere Rovers, Home: The new kit from Mills see’s a return of the classic blue and green detailing with the Tranmere Rovers Home Kit, the shirt contains a blue pinstripe.

This week’s Kit News…..

Have you ever heard of kit design being launched, then pulled for design reasons, well this has happened with Ebbsfleet United’s new away kit from Admiral.. the statement on the club’s website..

“The design change is due to the impending release of a similar kit in the global market which was only brought to our attention after our initial, well-received kit launch, and it was suggested the design be altered”

Looks like there is more to come here, especially a kit coming soon with the Gulf Racing Colour Scheme.

Mansfield Town have announced their new kit partnership with Errea, described as a multi-year partnership, Mansfield become the 3rd club to move away from Castore for the upcoming season.

We got our first official look at the Adidas Trefoil Goalkeeper template for 2025 / 26 season, with Newcastle United launching their 3rd Kit this week with a yellow version of the template.

Premier League – End of Season Review

Premier League – Top Trumps

Premier League: Top Trumps 2024/25

Posted in Kit History, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

I like to look at Football Kits and Kit Stats in many ways, one way that always seems popular is the “Top Trump” format.

You can find 2023 / 24 Top Trumps look here

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.

Premier League – One Kit Wonders

Premier League – End of Season Review

Premier League 2024 / 25: One Kit Wonders

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

The 2024 / 25 Premier League season ended with total of 113 different kits used by the 20 teams, you can find details of all of those kits in my in depth End of Season Kit Review, however of those 113 kits there was 33 kit looks that only got one appearance, these are our “One Kit Wonders”!

Thirteen teams used a kit look just once and for those regular readers and followers, there is no guessing which team provided the most of these….. lets take a closer look at these kits!

Arsenal – 2 Kits

Kicking off with Arsenal, the two kits they used just the once were in games 36 and 37 of the season, wearing alternative white shorts / socks with their Away kit and then in their final home game of the season they wore they 25 / 26 Home Kit.

Aston Villa – 10 Kits

Aston Villa who wore 13 Kits in total make up over 30% of the “One Kit Wonders” this season, with 10 Kits they wore just the single time! They had two Home Kit looks worn once, three Away Kit looks including a look they wore on the opening day of the season (sky blue shorts / socks) and the default Away look (with sky blue shorts), each of the four combinations of 3rd Kit usage was used just once and finally they wore their 25 / 26 Away Kit (with alternative white socks) in their final game of the season.

AFC Bournemouth – 2 Kits

Bournemouth were another team that used two different kits twice both kits were worn on visits to the Manchester clubs, with alternative purple shorts worn with their Away Kit against United and in Bournemouth’s final Away game of the season they used alternative red socks with their Home Kit playing City.

Brentford – 1 Kit

One of my Kit oddities of the season was the the appearance of Claret Socks with Brentford’s Away Kit 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…!

Chelsea – 1 Kit

Chelsea are the only team in this list that wore a default kit look just once, their 3rd kit was only used once in Premier League at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Everton – 2 Kits

Everton wore three different variations of their Away Kit, two of these were seen just once, with yellow socks at Manchester City and yellow shorts at Chelsea!

Leicester City – 2 Kits

Leicester City used variations of Home Kit (with 3rd socks) and 3rd Kit with Navy socks, and as Everton were used at Manchester City and Chelsea.

Liverpool – 1 Kit

Liverpool just used the one alternative variation this season and this was the use of white socks with their Away kit at Brentford, these were bespoke alternative socks for this kit.

Manchester United – 5 Kits

Manchester United used ten different looks this season, five of these looks were used just once… with one Home Kit look, two Away and two 3rd Kits, all looks used bespoke alternatives to each of the kits, no mash ups.

Newcastle United – 3 Kits

With Newcastle United being another team using ten kit variations through the season they were always going to have a couple of kit looks used just the once, however it was only their Away Kit looks (white shorts / socks and navy short / white socks) that make up their 24 / 25 kit set that were used just the once, the third single use kit was their 25 / 26 Home Kit which they debuted in the final game of the season.

This also means that the Toon Army also wore the most kit variations multiple times, with 7 different kit looks being worn more than once.

Nottingham Forest – 2 Kits

Nottingham Forest wore their 3rd Kit in four different kit combos with white and sky blue shorts and socks, two of these looks were used once, blue shorts and white socks at Aston Villa and white shorts / socks at Crystal Palace.

Tottenham Hotspur – 1 Kit

Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with both Home and Away Kit, the Away kit look was used just the once at Southampton, this was also one of two victories in their Away Kit in eight games in total it was used.

West Ham United – 1 Kit

On the final day of the season West Ham United used their Home Kit with alternative sky blue shorts, this was their 3rd different Home Kit look of the season but the only time these shorts were used.

There we have all the 33 Kits worn just once in the Premier League this season.

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…

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”.

Matchweek 37 the penultimate round of games of this Premier League season is now completed, and half the clubs have now played their final home games of the season, including the final Premier League game at Goodison Park.

Due to the FA Cup Final and Manchester United / Tottenham Hotspur both competing in Europa League Final the games were played over five days (Friday to Tuesday). The games were the reverse matches from Matchweek 10 back in early November.

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Arsenal have now worn their 6th Kit look of the season but debuting their 2025 / 26 Home Kit and their 7th Goalkeeper Kit, this is joint highest amount of Goalkeeper Kits used in Premier League this season and their 2nd new Kit look in two games.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative shorts, for an all “Old Gold” look for the 9th Time, this is the most used alternative look in the Premier League this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Brentford and Fulham, two nice kits on show, likely the last time we will see this Brentford Home Kit which has been in use for two seasons and Fulham in 3rd Kit with Home socks, for a nice match up!

Kit News

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.

The use of 17 Home Kits in this weekend’s fixtures was also the joint-highest in a single Matchweek this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Ipswich Town and Brentford, two teams in their Home Kits, a nice looking “Umbro Derby” as we get the end of the season.

Everton Away with alternative yellow shorts.

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa continue to be the club that keep on delivering this season in terms of kits, wearing their 12th Kit Variation in Premier League (34 games) and 13th overall (150th Anniversary Kit). This was their 4th different Home Kit Look, also having worn four Away and 3rd Kits this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Aston Villa, regular followers / readers will know that I have soft spot for contrasting sock colours, so both team in this look, as well as Aston Villa using another Kit Look was always a winner for me!

There were three Kit Variations used this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa – Home with claret shorts and white socks
