The Premier League has now reached the final International Break of 2025, with the 11th round of fixtures completed between Saturday 8th November and Sunday 9th November 2025.
There were two new kit looks on show this weekend.

There was one new Goalkeeper Kits used this weekend:
Manchester United – Green Adidas Template
Kit Highlights
Fulham wore their 3rd different Home Kit look of the season (4th overall), with alternative black shorts at Everton.. they have worn their default (All White) look six times and with alternative black socks once.
Burnley’s Green Goalkeeper kit becomes the first kit to be worn 10 times this season, having been worn in 10 of the 11 opening games of the season. Overall Burnley worn their 4th Kit of the season this weekend, having worn a mash up of Away with Home Socks.
Crystal Palace and Sunderland both remain undefeated in their Home Kits this season so far, with Sunderland wearing their Home look in 7 games (4 wins / 3 draws) and Crystal Palace in 6 games (2 wins / 4 draws) – Arsenal are also unbeaten in their Home Kit but did not wear it this weekend.
My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Sunderland and Arsenal, the Arsenal Away with it’s red trim give a nice overall balance to the kit looks on show.

There were three Kit variations used in this Matchweek.
Fulham – Home, with alternative Black Shorts

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 Highlights and Summary
In 2024 / 25 Championship season teams wore 95 Kits, this was an increase on the number kits compared to last season where 85 Kits were worn, this is the joint with League One with the fewest number of Kit Variations seen this season with Luton Town using nine Kit Variations, 9.5% of the total Kits used in The Championship
The single most worn Kit in the League was Norwich City for the second season in a row, who wore their Home Kit in 39 of the 46 League games, however this was a reduction from last season having worn their Home Kit 41 times in 23 / 24 Season.
Luton Town were the Kit Lovers Team of the Championship, with a perfectly matched set of kits that was able to be mix and matched, providing nine different looks with some wonderful mash ups!
Plymouth Argyle were another team that made good use of their Kit Set, using 3rd Shorts (Black) and Away Socks (White) to provide alternative Home Kit Variations with white / black shorts and socks.
A theme seen within The Championship was the use of the Kit Set to create new looks, several teams used their Kit in this way, Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle above, there were other notable examples.
Watford made good use of their Black Away Kit shorts and socks, to keep kit looking very much to the club colours.
Preston mashed up their 3rd Kit (shirt) and Away (shorts and socks), to give a different Kit Look at Sheffield Wednesday but one that tonally worked perfectly.
Also Cardiff City, Coventry City, Millwall, Oxford United, Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke City and Swansea City, used another set of socks to create a different Kit Look, with most of these looks being used against Sheffield Wednesday!
Sheffield Wednesday’s Away Kit was an interesting story this season. When released it was shown with black / white socks, that were nice in their design, something a little different, however during the season we did not actually see these socks in action, rather plain white ones worn four times with their Away Kit (and used three times for an alternative Home Kit Look).
There were two “Special Kits” on show in the 2024 / 25 Season…
Hull City wore a special 120th Anniversary Kit against Cardiff City on 28th September.
Middlesbrough wore a “No more Red” Kit, which was a charity kit against Knife Crime, this was worn against Coventry City on 2nd November

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…!
