Brighton & Hove Albion wore a special kit this weekend to celebrate their 125th Anniversary, inspired by the kit they first wore in 1901. The Kit was originally launched in May 2026, and has tonal detailing to give it that classic look. It’s yet to be confirmed if this is the only time we will see this kit this season.

Three teams wore change kits for the first time this weekend, Chelsea, Liverpool and Hull City.

Chelsea have worn an alternative Home Kit look in the opening game of the season, however this was the first time they moved away from their blue shirts, Liverpool wore their Away Kit in it’s default look with red shorts and Hull City wore their 3rd Kit after launching it last week.

There have been 3 teams that have now worn 4 different Kit looks in their opening 5 games, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United.

Brighton have worn, Home, Away (with Home Socks), 3rd and 125th Anniversary Kit

Manchester United have worn Home, Home with white socks, 3rd and debuted their Away in Premier League this weekend.

Aston Villa have worn, Home, Away with white shorts & socks, 3rd with white socks and Home with Claret socks at Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

Arsenal wore their 4th different Goalkeeper Kit of the season, wearing the Grey Adidas Template for the first time, this is registered as their first choice Goalkeeper ths season.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Newcastle United and Hull City, the Newcastle home kit is one of my favourite kits for the season and paired up with Hull’s 3rd kit (in its debut) was as nice match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 4 Away, 2 Third Kits and 1 Special Kit in action.

There were two Kit Variations used in this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa – Home with alternative claret socks
  • Ipswich Town – Away with alternative “ecru” socks, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 20th September

Kit News

AFC Bournemouth have launched a dedicated European Kit to celebrate their first ever venture in European competitions, they received a lot of critism for their sponsor size / colour for their domestic home kit, something the club have addressed and made a commitment to improve next season, click here for more details.

This kit was likely already in production after these complaints so no changes could be made!

We now have a bit of break, with International Football taking centre stage for the next two weeks and Premier League Returns on weekend of 10th October 2026, but stay tuned for new articles during this time.

Champions League 26/27: Match 1, Kit Review

The revamped Champions League format is now in it’s third season, and we will continue to review the kits worn in each Matchweek, much like the Premier League Kit Reviews.

And here we go…. just as we have seen in the previous two season, the first round of fixtures were played over three days, 8th to 10th September 2026, a week earlier due to the change in the Autumn International Fixture schedule.

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 the missing 3rd Kits as well as 4th Kits / 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

Aston Villa have given us several kit looks in various competitions over the past couple of season, and they kicked off another Champions League campaign with a new look, they wore their 3rd Kit with alternative white shorts and socks against Club Brugge.

Inter Milan sported a sponsor free version of their Home Kit against Real Madrid, this is due the Spanish Laws which do not allow gambling sponsorship in this way, the result was a popular one amoungst Kit Lovers and general football fans alike.

One of those rare sights in the football kit world is a Villarreal in an Away Kit, but that is what we saw this week when they came up against Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal wore a Kit look that I am very fond of, when they wore alternative red shorts this week at Napoli, the first time this look has been used since 2022.

Shakthar Donesk gave us one of the more different looking mash ups this week, wearing their Away Kit (light blue shirt with pink detailing and white shorts), with black 3rd kit socks which are black / orange… so plenty going on here.

Manchester United returned to the Champions League for the first time in 3 years and first time since the format change, and they used their classic European first choice look of their Home Kit with white socks.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Barcelona and Feyenoord, the Barcelona shirt is one of their best in recent years (in my humble opionion), so seeing it action paired with a nice Feyenoord Away kit gave us a nice balance of overall kits!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

  • 26 Home Kits
  • 8 Away Kits
  • 2 3rd Kits

Kit Variations seen this week.

  • Aston Villa – 3rd with alternative white shorts & socks
  • Arsenal – Home with alternative red shorts
  • Galatasaray – Home with Away (white) shorts
  • Shakhtar Donesk – Away with 3rd (black) socks
  • Bayern Munich – Home with alternative red socks

There is a bit of break now with the Champions League, with Match 2 of this season’s competition coming after the extended International Break on 13th / 14th October.

Coventry City used their Away Kit for the first time and used alternative Navy Shorts and Socks for nice looking kit look.

Arsenal made it two home games in a row where they mix and match the Adidas logos in their kits, with the Home Kit in regular logo and Goalkeeper Kit in the Trefoil logo.

Hull City and Liverpool remain the only two teams to wear the same kit in their opening three games, however Hull continue to use just the one goalkeeper kit where Liverpool have now worn different goalkeeper looks in their three games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Hull City and Aston Villa, Hull City in one of the kits of the season and Villa in a wonderful tri-colour looking 3rd kit look, mixing the sky blue, claret and white for this look.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 2 Away and 3 Third Kit in action.

Premier League: Matchweek 36, Kit Review

The Premier League is in it’s final month, and after these games clubs have just two round rounds of games to go. This Matchweek was played across three days from Saturday 9th May and Monday 11th May 2026. 

They are the return fixtures of the round of fixtures played in Matchweek 7, played back on 3rd / 5th October.

You can find last round of fixtures report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 36 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 105 (+2 New Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 72 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

Aston Villa in 3rd Kit with alternative purple socks.

Manchester United in 3rd Kit with alternative yellow shorts.

Manchester United also wore the yellow Adidas Trefoil Goalkeeper template for the first time.

Kit Highlights

This week saw the first new kit looks since Matchweek 30, on 15th March 2026, nearly 2 months ago.

Aston Villa wore their 10th Kit Variation of the season, and by using their 3rd Kit with alternative purple socks they completed all four possible kit looks with their 3rd Kit. They have now worn 3 Different Home and Away Kits and the 4 3rd Kits to make the 10 Kit looks.

Manchester United also made it 10 Kit Variations this season, to be joint highest with Aston Villa and just like Villa they done this by wearing their final possible Kit look with their 3rd Kit. Their 10 looks are also made up of 3 Home and Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits.

Manchester United also wore a new Goalkeeper Kit look in this game, the 5th overall Goalkeeper Kit used this season and the 2nd in Trefoil template.

Everton wore their Away Kit in it’s default look for just the 2nd time this season, the first time being in Matchweek 14 back on 2nd December.

Arsenal wore a chanage kit for the first time in 10 games, they wore their 3rd Kit with alternative dark red socks for the second time this season, it also means that all three of the Adidas Trefoil kits on show this weekend were in alternatives from their default looks.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Burnley and Aston Villa, regular readers and followers will know my love of a contrasting sock within a kit, so when Aston Villa wheeled out their 10th Kit look of the season with their 3rd Kit including purple socks, this was always going to be a winner, the match up with Burnley’s Home Kit works well.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 1 Away and 4 Third Kits in action.

There was the three Kit variation used in this Matchweek.

  • Aston Villa – 3rd with alternative purple socks
  • Manchester United – 3rd with alternative yellow shorts
  • Arsenal – 3rd with alternative dark red socks

Kit Grid – Up to 12th May

Kit News

It appears we will be getting our first new kit launch of the 2026 / 27 season, with Manchester United teasing this on Monday 11th May, with launch on Thursday 14th May 2026.

There are plenty of leaks coming for next seasons kits and I am sure we will see a few of these in the final weeks of the season, so watch this space as these are officallly confirmed.

Premier League: Matchweek 32, Kit Review

The Premier League returns after a lengthly break for Internationals and FA Cup. This weekend gave us games across four days with both Friday night football and Monday night this was the first time this has happened since Matchweek 2 with these with these matches played across Friday 10th April and Monday 13th April 2026.

They are the return fixtures of the round of fixtures played in Matchweek 20, the first full round of fixtures in 2026.

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 32 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 103 (No New Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 71 (+1 New Kits this Matchweek)

There were no new outfield kits this Matchweek.

We did see a new Goalkeeper Look, with Aston Villa in Purple Adidas Trefoil Kit

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa wore their 6th Goalkeeper Kit of the season (joint-hghest of the season with Arsenal) and their 3rd different Trefoil look, the Purple Kit was the clubs “first choice” 3rd Kit this season but it was the first time being used in the Premier League.

AFC Bournemouth won for the first time these season in their Away Kit, this was the 7th time the kit was used with 3 Draws and 3 Loses in the previous 6 outings.

Crystal Palace have now worn their Home Kit 21 times this season, with their victory this weekend against Newcastle United means they have now 7 Wins, 7 Draws and 7 Loses when wearing their Home Kit.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Chelsea and Manchester City, the Man City 3rd Kit has got some critism this season and called out as one of the worst kits of the season but in the sunshine it did seem to work in the match up against Chelsea, so I am going to give it a little bit of love.

Kit Stats

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

There three Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Everton – Home in All Blue, 7th time used

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs wearing their Away Kit at Old Trafford is something although not common, we have seen before (2021 / 22 was the last time it was done), but using their 3rd Kit worked quite nicely.

Nottingham Forest wore alternative navy shorts and socks with their Away for the second time in two games in a row, their victory at West Ham United also means they have now scored 11 points in their Away Kit, the first team to score double figure points in their Away Kit (and as it stands the kit they have won the most points in this season, only won 10 in their Home Kit).

Manchester United have now worn 8 Different Kit Variations this season, with their Away Kit being worn in its default look being the 3rd different Away Kit look, coupled with 2 Home Kit looks and 3 3rd Kit variations used this season, this is the joint highest in Premier League so far this season (with Aston Villa).

Happy New Year to all you readers and followers out there….

The Premier League hits the New Year and this also marks the half way point of the season, and these were the seventh round games of nine over a six week period, with the fixtures played across 2025 and 2026 different this year being completed on Tuesday 30th December 2025 and Thursday 1st January 2026.

They were also the first set of return fixtures, with these previous games being played in Matchweek 15, earlier this month!

You can find last weekend’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 19 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 89 (+1 Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 66 (No New Kits this Matchweek)

There was one new kit looks on show in these fixtures

Aston Villa wore their Away Kit with white alternative socks.

Kit Highlights

There were 17 Teams in these round of fixtures to wear their Home Kit, this was the most home kits seen in a single “Matchweek” so far this season.

Aston Villa wore their 8th Kit Variation of the season, this is highest now in the Premier League. They have worn 3 Different Home Kit looks, 3 Different Away Kit and 2 Different 3rd Kits.

They have also worn 4 different Kit Looks in their last 4 games!

Newcastle United wore white socks their blue goalkeeper kit for the 3rd time this season, in this case this was due to Burnley’s sky blue socks.

Tottenham Hotspur have now worn their 3rd Kit (Nike T90) four times in the last six games, all within the last month.

There was a nice symmetry with the game between Nottingham Forest and Everton, Everton in All blue this week was aligned with Forest in All Red when the two meet just a few weeks ago.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, not a lot going on in these fixtures, so went for this one purely for the good contrast between the Kits, should Wolves have worn their 3rd Kit, well we would not be here if these things did not happen, so its all okay with me.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 17 Home Kits, 1 Away and 2 Third Kits in action.

There were two Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Everton – Home, All Blue, 3rd time used
  • Aston Villa – Away, with alternative white socks

Kit Grid – Up to 1st January
