My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Bournemouth and Wolves, the Bournemouth Home kit is one of my favourite in Premier League this season, matched up an interesting 3rd Kit from Wolves delivered us a nice looking Kit Match up!

Kit News
Crystal Palace have now released their Away Kit, called “Eagle White” – there was rumours of the kit being delayed as it resembled an Olympique Lyonnais but we will leave that up to you to decide.
Chelsea have released their 3rd Kit for the season, one of the Nike Total 90 remakes, this is based on the colours worn by Chelsea in those years, however this was an Umbro Kit at the time. This kit also carries the same crest worn with this kit (I am reluctant to say retro given it was only 20 years ago)!
Aston Villa are another team to launch their 3rd Kit, as they are now are of the Adidas Elite teams it means they get the “Trefoil” treatment with their kit. This is shirt is draws direct inspiration from the signature stained glass windows with Villa Park.
A reminder you can find details of the 9 Different Kit Manufacturers used in the Premier League this season (along with the rest of The EFL Clubs) – here
Any thoughts and comments please let me know over at my Socials…
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.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
If you are reading this then I am sure you have already seen my End of Season Kit Report for 2024 / 25 Premier League and taken the all the details here around Kit Usage this season and many of you will know about the Kit Stats that I share on my Socials through out the season.
I wanted to build on that and spend a little time with each of the 20 Teams and call out my favourite Kit Stat, Kit Tale, Story or general call out all the teams, although there are some teams with plenty to discuss regarding their kits, this will be my favourite observation per team.
Arsenal
7 Goalkeeper kits were worn by Arsenal, including the only “Mash Up” Goalkeeper Kit of the season, using the Yellow and Black versions of the Adidas Template to produce this wonderful look!
Aston Villa
The most kit variations used by a single team with 13 Kits in total but only 3 of these were worn more than once… Home Kit (Default Look) 23 times, Away with Home Shorts (All White) 3 times and Home with alternative claret shorts / socks was worn twice.
AFC Bournemouth
Alternative red socks worn at Manchester City in their final Away game of the season, this was the Club’s only variation look of their Home Kit this season.
Brentford
Brentford wore just one alternative variation from their three Kits this season and that was the appearance of Claret Socks 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…!
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points in a change kit in the Premier League this season, having scored 19 points in their Away Kit (worn in 14 games).
Chelsea
Chelsea only used their 3rd Kit once in the Premier League this season, worn at Brighton & Hove Albion. In fact this Kit was only worn twice domestically this season, both games against Brighton and within the same week (8th February, FA Cup and 14th February, Premier League).
Crystal Palace
Only variation of kit used by the club this season was in FA Cup Final, with their Home Kit paired with alternative white socks.
Everton
Everton wore their Away Kit in just four game this season but they did that using three different looks, with alternative yellow short and socks used.
Fulham
Fulham were another team that used a change kit just four time, this being their 3rd Kit, which they used twice with alternative white socks (although they do not appear to be Home socks as not carrying the FFC above the Adidas logo).
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town’s Home was the single most worn outfield kit look this season, being worn 30 times in total.
Leicester City
Leicester City used alternative navy socks with 3rd Kit at Chelsea, a look that worked really well and my favourite for The Foxes this season.
Liverpool
Liverpool used the Nike Goalkeeper template in four different colours, the only Nike supplied team to do so (five if you included the green kit which they also wore with and without the inverted Nike Swoosh logo)!
Manchester City
Another team to wear four Goalkeeper kits was Manchester City, their fourth kit was one that partially created via AI with design input from Ederson, Stefan Ortega, and Rico Lewis, this was part of the promotional advertising for a competition for fans to design their 3rd Kit for 2026 / 27 season!
Manchester United
Manchester United were one of three teams to hit double figures for their Kit Variations this season, each of their three kits used light coloured short variations (White – Home, Light Grey – Away, Off White – 3rd).
Newcastle United
Newcastle United were one of the teams with double digit Kit Variations, wearing 10 Kit looks in total including all possible combinations of their Away Kit with its default and alternative shorts / socks.
Nottingham Forest
Most points scored in 3rd Kit, 16 Points in the 10 games (and 4 Variations) worn.
Southampton
Wore change kits in 18 of the 19 Away games, wearing their Away Kit in 15 Games and 3rd Kit in 3 Games, their 3rd Kit was worn with alternative white shorts in all games rather than the default pink shorts.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur had two kit variations used this season, one with Home and one with Away but both used the same pair of alternative Navy Socks.
West Ham United
West Ham wore their Home socks with each of their 3 kits, as default with their Home Kit 22 times, twice with their Away Kit and 4 times with their 3rd Kit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves spent the final half of the season in their Home Kit, wearing it in the final 19 games. The last time they wore a change kit was 29th December and in total wore a change it just once in 24 games in six months, wearing alternative Old Gold Shorts on the road in the second half of the season in all but 1 game!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
The 2024 / 25 Premier League season ended on Sunday 25th May 2025 with Liverpool having secured their 2nd Premier League back in April with four games still to play and finished 10 points clear of second placed Arsenal.

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…

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Ipswich Town and West Ham United, The Hammers giving us an unexpected Kit look in the final game, and the last viewing of this Ipswich Town kit in the Premier League for nice overall match up.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 4 Away Kits and 1 3rd Kits

Kit News
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”.

For those that follow EFL Clubs or the leagues in general, I have now published my End of Season reviews for The Championship, League One and League Two (Links can be found below).
On Saturday 17th May 2025, the 143rd FA Cup Final was hosted at Wembley between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Crystal Palace lifted the Cup, their first major trophy win in their History.
A total of 745 teams entered the competition, with 124 teams competing from First Round onward. This was the first time in the competition’s history that there were no replays played from the First Round.
I am taking this opportunity to look back at this season’s competition and the Kits worn by the teams from the First Round.
First Round – 1st November to 4th November 2024
80 Teams kicked off the First Round of the FA Cup this season, 48 teams from League One and League Two and 32 Non-League Teams, with Horsham and Guiseley being the lowest ranked teams in the competition, playing in the 7th Tier of English Football.
Tamworth and Huddersfield Town provided an interesting Kit Match up, with a lot going on with both kits, my favourite match up of this round.
Shrewsbury Town wore a mash up of their Away Kit / Home shorts and socks, a look they did not use in their League One Campaign.
Another nice looking Kit Match up was the game between Woking and Cambridge United, Woking in their traditional white / red halved shirt, matched up against Cambridge’s wonderful 3rd kit!
Second Round – 29th November to 1st December 2024
40 Teams in the Second Round, with only 9 Non League Clubs remaining in the competition.
Wealdstone and Wycombe Wanderers Kit match up was a nice one, with Wycombe in their 3rd Kit, one of Hummel’s “Mexico” Templates.
There was a lot of Blue / Yellow on show when AFC Wimbledon hosted Dagenham & Redbridge. The National League side who won this game, played all games from the First to Third Round in their Away Kit.
I do have a soft spot for Red / Black Kits (I think its a love of AC Milan from the 80s / 90s), so Kettering Town’s Home Kit was great to see in action, and matched up with Doncaster Rover’s Away kit gave us a nice looking Kit Match up!
Third Round – 9th January to 14th January 2025
The FA Cup Third Round, one of the highlights of the English Football Calendar with teams from Premier League and Championship entering the competition, giving us a total of 64 Teams left to compete, there was just two Non-League teams left, with Tamworth and Dagenham & Redbridge.
Aston Villa used the FA Cup to wear their special 150th Anniversary Kit, a wonderful looking kit that was elegant in it’s simplicity, carry an original Club Crest and just player Numbers, a shame it was only used in this one game.
Arsenal used their “No More Red” special Charity Kit, their fourth year of wearing an all white kit to highlight their campaign against youth violence and knife crime.
Another team in a special kit was Accrington Stanley, who wore a one off kit for their trip to Anfield to play Liverpool.
The Competition is now taking to take shape, with 32 teams left competing.
Coventry City wore a special “4th Kit” for their game against Ipswich Town, the kit was the same design / template as their Home Kit but in Navy with tonal crest, logo and sponsorship.
Chelsea used their 3rd Kit for the first time in a domestic game this season, it has only been used twice this season both games against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Fifth Round – 28th February to 3rd March 2025
In the Fifth Round, 16 teams left with just 4 of those being outside the Premier League.
Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative “Old Gold” Shorts, they used this all “Old Gold” look in their FA Cup Games this season.
One of my favourite kit usages is when a team wears a “Tri-colour” kit, with all elements of the Kit being in different colours, so Manchester City against Plymouth Argyle produced a wonderful Kit Match up with both teams in “Tri-Colour” Kits.
Quarter-Finals – 29th March to 30th March 2025
Just eight teams left in the competition, with just Preston North End being a team from outside the Premier League.
Brighton & Hove Albion had an interesting Kit Choice, when wearing their Home Kit in this season’s competition, they wore alternative blue socks in each of it’s three appearances.
Every team in the Quarter-Finals wore their Home Kit.
Semi-Finals – 26th April to 27th April 2025
There was not a lot to talk about in terms of kit in the Semi-Finals.
Aston Villa wore all white, this is using the white home shorts (the default Away shorts are sky blue), they have used this look in all Competitions (Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League) this season.
One detail to call out is with Manchester City’s Kit, is their use of a non branded FA Cup Sleeve patch this season.
This has been an ongoing issue between the Club and FA regarding sponsorship, with FA Cup being sponsored by one of Manchester City’s sponsors biggest competitors and over recent seasons they have not worn any sleeve patch (which did carry a fine for the club) but it looks like an alternative has been found with this patch being worn.
Final – 17th May 2025
Crystal Palace wore alternative white socks in the final, a look they have not used as yet this season and one that I am sure will go down in history after their victory against Manchester City, this was their 3rd different Kit Look of their campaign.
And there we have it, the FA Cup 2024 / 25… congratulations to Crystal Palace once again!

Matchweek 34 of the Premier League was one of the more unusual ones of this season, due to the FA Cup Semi Finals at the weekend this Matchweek was played over 10 days between 22nd April and 1st May 2025. The games were the reverse matches from Matchweek 17 and saw Liverpool crowned as Premier League Champions for 2024 / 25 Season.
Aston Villa in Home Kit with Claret Shorts and White socks.
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!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 4 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits
There were three Kit Variations used this Matchweek
Aston Villa – Home with claret shorts and white socks
Everton – Away with alternative yellow shorts
Manchester United – 3rd with alternative shorts, 4th time used

Chelsea used alternative blue socks giving us an All Blue look for surprisingly just the 3rd time this season, previous outings were in Matchweek 14 and 15!
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Aston Villa and Newcastle United, to solid Adidas kits on show, Newcastle using alternative shorts to offer to contrast to the kit match up.

Newcastle United – 3rd with alternative turquoise shorts, 2nd time used
