Posted in Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

The Premier League is rapidly closing in the half way point of the season, and these were the fourth round games of eight within over a six week period, with these games completed between Saturday 6th December and Monday 8th December 2025.

You can find last weekend’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 15 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 82 (+4 Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 65 (No New Kits this Matchweek)

There were four new kit looks on show this weekend.

Arsenal wore alternative dark red socks with their 3rd Kit.

Chelsea wore their Away with alternative socks for the first time in Premier League this season, having this look already in League Cup and Champions League.

Nottingham Forest wore red shorts, for their “All Red” Home Kit look.

Manchester United wore their 3rd Kit in it’s default look for the first time.

Kit Highlights

Arsenal and Nottingham Forest wore their 4th Kit Looks of the season.

Chelsea wore their 5th Kit look, they become the 7th team to have used at least that many looks so far this season (4 Teams in 5 Kits, 3 Teams in 6 Kits), this was also their 4th Kit Look in last 4 games!

Manchester United are now one of 3 teams who have worn 6 Kit Variations, with 3 of these being their 3rd Kit which they wore in it’s default look for the first time.

Brentford continue their run of wearing change kits in all of their Away games so far this season, having worn both Away and 3rd Kits now 4 times in their 8 Away games.

Newcastle United wore their blue Adidas Goalkeeper Template with white socks for the 2nd time this season, first doing so in the opening game of the season.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Everton and Nottingham Forest, Forest in “All Red” is one of my favourite Kit Loves, so anytime this happens its always going to be a winner in my eyes.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 16 Home Kits, 2 Away and 2 Third Kits in action.

There were two Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Arsenal – 3rd Kit with alternative socks
  • Nottingham Forest – Home, All Red.

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

New Kits this Matchweek

There was just the one new Kit on show this weekend.

Kit Highlights

West Ham United in their 5th Kit Variation of the season, this is the joint-second highest in Premier League this season (Aston Villa in 6, with Manchester United and Newcastle United also with 5).

Crystal Palace wore their Home Kit in an Away Game for the first time this season, this was their 6th Away game of the season, wearing their 3rd Kit in four games and Away once!

Brentford continue to wear change kits in all their Away games this season, wearing their Away for the 3rd time this season, having worn their 3rd kit in their other 3 Away games.

Chelsea wore their Away for the 2nd time this season and again with alternative shorts and socks, they have yet to wear this kit in it’s default look (“Ecru” shorts / Green socks) in any competition including the World Club Cup, which is 8 games in total.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Leeds United and Aston Villa, Villa in All Claret is one of my favourite kit looks, so when this is used it will always be one I keep an eye on!

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

There were four Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

Kit News

The Chelsea front of shirt sponsorship has been an interesting topic over the past few seasons with them carrying no sponsor in the majority of the games over this period, however that appears to be changing in the coming days with rumours of a deal with Oracle (US Software company). It has been reported that sponsorship will start as quick as next with high profile games against Barcelona in Champions League and Liverpool in Premier League – full details can be found here via Footy Headlines

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.

Premier League: 2024 / 25, My Favourite Kit Observation by Team

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 9 Comments

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!

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 Stats

Overall we have seen 16 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

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.

Premier League: Matchweek 25 Kit Review

Posted in Kit History, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

The Premier League is back after last weekend’s FA Cup 4th Round fixtures. These were the reverse fixtures from this weekend can be found – Matchweek 6 and there was plenty to talk about from this weekend’s fixtures.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 25 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 94 (+3 New Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 69 (No New Kit this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new kits this weekend.

Chelsea wore their 3rd Kit for the first time in Premier League this season at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Newcastle United wore their Away Kit with alternative white socks.

Brentford wore an interesting mash up at West Ham United, wearing claret socks with their Away Kit, we look at this in a little more detail shortly.

Kit Highlights

Newcastle United have now worn nine Kit Variations in Premier League this season, their look this weekend using alternative white socks with their Away Kit was their 4th different look, using all possible combinations now of navy and white shorts / socks.

Along with the four Away Kits, they have worn two Home Kit and three different 3rd Kit looks to make up the nine kits worn in total!

Brentford’s socks have caused some interesting debate this weekend, with the Pink socks of their Away Kit deemed to clash with West Ham United’s white Home socks, so Claret socks were used and at first glance it can easily be assumed that these were West Ham Socks of their 3rd kit but closer inspection, the West Ham socks carry gold Umbro detailing and thanks to @JohnSpenge on “X” who spotted they are actually current Umbro Teamwear socks. An enjoyable Kit Tale from this season!

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Newcastle United, regular readers of these weekly round ups and followers will know that contrasting socks with kits are something that I am particularly found of, so this game with both teams in this look is always going to be a winner in my eyes!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

There were two variation seen over these fixtures.

  • Newcastle United – Away with Alternative white socks
  • Brentford – Away with claret socks
  • Wolverhampton Wanderers – Home with alternative “Old Gold” shorts, 4th time used

Kit Grid – Up to 16th February

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…!

Premier League: Matchweek 21 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

Matchweek 21 is a unique Matchweek in the Premier League season, with the fixtures being split over two weekends to give each of the teams a mini “mid-season” winter break, there was five fixture played over the weekend of 12th to 14th January and the remaining five fixtures on 20th to 22nd January.

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

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.

Matchweek 21 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 91 (+2 from Matchweek 20)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 57 (No Change from Matchweek 20)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were two new kit look on show through these fixtures.

Crystal Palace have worn their 3rd twice already this season, including the opening fixture back in August, however this is the first time that the kit has been worn in default look of all black, with the black socks getting the debut outing!

Nottingham Forest used their 3rd Kit with bespoke alternative orange shorts and socks for the first time this season in their game against Brentford, the overall look worked well with amount of orange in the shirt… a nice alternative and opens up more opportunities for mix and matching with the default navy blue shorts and socks.

Kit Highlights

Manchester United “Sock Watch”, it was the 2023 Adidas Teamwear socks again in the home game against Tottenham Hotspur, this seems to be the go to sock now for The Red Devils…

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore their away kit for only the second time this season and the first time since the third game of the season back in August against Everton, this also means they have worn Home, Away and 3rd Kits in their last three games!

My favourite Kit Match Up of this week was the match up between Brentford and Nottingham Forest, the alternative look against the classic Brentford kit worked well for me, I have seen comments that considered this to be a kit clash but I think there is enough destinction between the light and dark shorts and socks and in the shirts that this worked well under the lights of Gtech Community Stadium!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek

There were four Kit Variation on show this week.

  • Luton Town, Away Kit with Home Shorts and Socks, this is the 3rd time this look has been used
  • Manchester United’s again in Black Teamwear Socks (with updated Adidas Logo), the 8th time they have been worn

Kit News

It is being widely reported that Aston Villa have signed “Major” Deal with Adidas, replacing Castore from next season. Aston Villa have been supplied by the many kit manufacturers over the years, however this would be the first time that they have worn the “Three Stripes” of Adidas and will be the second club to move from Castore to Adidas with Newcastle United also making that change from 2024/25 Season – Image from @TheShirtUnion

Manchester City have released a “Year of the Dragon” shirt to celebrate the Chinese New Year and it has been reported that this kit will be worn by both Men and Women’s teams at some point this season, with the kit having its own designed nameset I wonder if it will be a cup game that we see this kit, however with the Men away at Tottenham Hotspur in the 4th Round, its not likely to be that game.

Another interesting story that was being report at the end of last week was the potential introduction of “4th” Kits from 2024/25 season. It is not clear if this will be for every team but the reports suggested that one of Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea will have a 4th Kit available for regular use and not seen as a “Special Kit”. 

So what we have seen with Crystal Palace and Arsenal this season may become the norm in future season within Premier League!
