Kit Highlights:
Looking at some of my favourite Kit highlights of the League Phase of the competition…
There were two teams that wore five different Kit variations in their eight games, Bayern Munich and Sporting CP.
Bayern Munich, who wore Home, Away and three different variations of their 3rd Kit.
Sporting CP wore two variations of their Home Kit, Away, 3rd and a Charity Kit.
Bayer Leverkusen were the only team to wear a single Kit Look through this phase of the competition.
PSG were the only team to wear four distinct kits with no variations, wearing Home, Away, 3rd and 4th Kit in their eight games!
AS Monaco wore three different Home Kit looks, using red / white shorts and socks in different combinations.
Benfica were the only team to wear just their Home Kit in all of their matches, they did this in two different looks, wearing default look (white shorts) six times and alternative red shorts twice.
Borussia Dortmund as with traditional over the recent seasons wore a Cup Kit, they did this in two different variations, only wearing alternative shorts the once in the opening game against Juventus.
Juventus wore their 3rd Kit more than any other look, wearing it four times including once at Home.
There were three examples of “European” Change kits, with Napoli having dedicated European Away and 3rd Kits (a shame we did not get to see that wonderful brown 3rd Kit in Champions League Action) and Union Saint-Gilloise used a “European” Away Kit.
Manchester City wore a 4th Kit for second season in a row, this season wearing it three times in total for their most used look away from Etihad Stadium.
That’s it, the Champions League “League” Phase has now been completed!
