The Premier League is approaching the quarter stage of the season and we are taking our usual look at the Kits worn this weekend, Friday 24th October to Sunday 26th October 2025.

You can find last week’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 9 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 66 (+3 Kit this Matchweek)
Goalkeeper Kits – 59 (+3 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new kit looks on show this weekend.

West Ham United, in an all claret look for their Home Kit.

Liverpool wore their 3rd Kit with alternative white socks.

Manchester City wore their 3rd Kit for the first time.

There was also three new Goalkeeper Kits used this weekend:

Fulham – Orange Adidas Template
Brighton & Hove Albion – Yellow Nike Template
Crystal Palace – Grey Macron Template

Kit Highlights

Liverpool in their 4th Kit Variation of the season and their 2nd different look for their 3rd Kit and have yet to use the default look in Premier League (they have used in Champions League).

They also used the standard Adidas Goalkeeper kit (yellow template) rather than a Trefoil Goalkeeper Kit.

Crystal Palace continue to wear change kits in all of their away games this season, having worn their Gold Kit in four games and All White Kit in one game.

West Ham’s all claret look means they have worn four different kit looks in their last four games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Newcastle United and Fulham, Fulham’s 3rd Kit this season is an interesting look, and the all fluro green look worked well matched against Newcastle’s Home Kit.

Kit Stats

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

There were three Kit variations used in this Matchweek, one Home, one Away and one 3rd.

West Ham United – Home, All Claret
Liverpool – 3rd, with alternative white socks
Fulham – Away, with alternative fluro green shorts & socks – 3rd time used.

Kit Grid – Up to 27th October

Kit News

The first “Winter Ball” from Puma was launched in the past week, the yellow ball will get it’s first use in weekend of 8th November, with the game between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur being the first game to use the ball.

The Adidas and Arsenal relationship continues to look to the past to offer supporters alternative equipment with the release a remake of the 1992/94 Home Shirt, the shirt is accompanied with a range of other products.

Everton remain the only team not to wear a change kit yet this season, having worn their Home in their opening 6 games, 5 times in it’s default look and once with blue shorts.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Nottingham Forest and Sunderland, something classical looking about “Red v Blue” with both teams in white shorts, and given it was Ryder Cup weekend, this was the game for me!

Premier League: Matchweek 5, Kit Review

The Premier League is now starting to feel in full swing, we have just had our first week of European football and Matchweek 5 has been completed.

You can find last week’s report h e re

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 5 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 50 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)
Goalkeeper Kits – 45 (+6 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were 5 new Kit looks on show this Matchweek

Newcastle United wore their Away Kit with alternative white socks.

Aston Villa in their Away Kit with alternative white shorts.

There was also 5 new Goalkeeper Kits used this weekend:

Chelsea – Green Nike Template
Liverpool – Grey Adidas Template
Nottingham Forest – Orange Adidas Template
Tottenham Hotspur – Pink Nike Template
West Ham United – White / Black Shorts & Socks
Manchester City – Green Puma Template

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa and Newcastle United are leading the way in the number of kits used this season, both clubs wearing four kit variations in the opening five games.

Tottenham Hotspur wore their 4th different Goalkeeper look of the five games so far, rumours of delivery issues of their new kit at the start season meant they used last season’s yellow template in the first game of the season, and by using the pink version of the current Nike Goalkeeper selection meant they have used their three kits from this season now, so four kits used in total.

West Ham United wore their 3rd choice goalkeeper kit this weekend and its a rare sight nowadays, as its a kit with constrasting shorts and socks, rather than the single colour look that we normally see with Keepers!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Liverpool and Everton, two classic looking home kits for the Merseyside Rivals this season, so seeing them up against each other was a pleasing Kit Match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 5 Away and 1 Third Kit in action.

There were two Kit variations used in this Matchweek, both the new kits we saw used this weekend.

Aston Villa – Away, with alternative white shorts
Newcastle United – Away, with alternative white socks

Kit Grid – Up to 21st September

Kit News

There is no significant Premier League related Kit News this week.

Champions League – League Phase 24 / 25 Kit Review

Champions League 25 / 26: Match 1, Kit Review

Sep 19, 2025Posted in GeneralTagged Arsenal, Bayern, Champions League, Dortmund, England, Football, Football Kits, Juventus, Kit Geek, Kit Log, Kits, Napoli, Premier League, Soccer, sports, Tottenham Hotspur, UCL, UEFA15 Comments

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

And here we go…. just as last season’s competition, the first round of fixtures were played over three days, 16th to 18th September 2025.

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

This gives 107 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to a 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

Arsenal wore an alternative silver shorts and socks for their game at Athletic Bilbao, not a unique look for the club as it was reminiscent to one worn by the Gunners in 2002 when they visited AS Roma, thanks to our friend Denis at Museum of Jerserys for calling this out.

Juventus wore their new 3rd Kit in their home game against Borussia Dortmund, this also meant the Dortmund (wearing their Cup Kit, which has become the norm for European Games) wore alternative yellow shorts, a look they did not use until the knock phase of the competition last season.

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their campaign in their traditional European “All White” look, which we are expecting to see in all home games this season in the competition.

Bayern Munich wore their Home Kit in the Champions League for the first since Semi Final of 23 / 24 season, having worn 3rd Kit in majority of their games last season. Given that the home kit of 2023 / 24 season was the white shirt with red sleeves, this is the first time they have been in all red since the 22 / 23 competition, 883 days in total.

Eintracht Frankfurt are one of the teams wearing a “Cup Kit” during this season’s competition with an all black kit acting as their first choice look.

Napoli will not be wearing their wonderful 3rd kit in the Champions League this season (the love for this kit was discussed in the latest Episode of The Football Kit Podcast), instead they have a European Away and 3rd Kits, with the all navy 3rd kit being worn at Manchester City.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, the new Liverpool Adidas Home Kit is really delivering in its look (especially in long sleeve), and one of the best examples of the T90 3rd Kits from Nike on show together, it was always going to be this game!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

19 Home Kits
4 Away Kits
6 3rd Kits
2 “Cup” Kit

Kit Variations seen this week

Union Saint-Gilloise – Home, alternative yellow shorts
Arsenal – Away, alternative silver shorts & socks
Borussia Dortmund – Cup, alternative yellow shorts
Sporting CP – Home, with white shorts

Let me know your thoughts or other details you spotted this week in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back after next round of Champions League games on the 30th September and 1st October 2025.

Nottingham Forest were the only team wear an Away Kit this weekend and are the first team to wear two variations of a change kit with their use of navy blue shorts against Arsenal.

Thanks to our friend (and guest of The Football Kit Podcast) Jim Hearson for pointing out that in Ange Postecoglou’s first game in charge of Forest, they actually look like Tottenham Hotspur!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, with the amount of Navy in the Spurs shirt, the alternative socks give a nice balance to the Kit, overall giving a nice kit match!

Kit News

Sunderland have launched a range of retro shirts and tracksuits based on their Patrick kits and equipment worn between 1986 and 1988, carrying the Patrick logo and Tuborg sponsor of that time.

The final kit to be released in the Premier League this season was the Liverpool 3rd, no surprises in what this looks like as images have been doing the rounds for several months, so it is nice to official pictures and confirmation of Black Trefoil Goalkeeper Template.

Three teams have also worn three Goalkeeper looks so far this season, with Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, with Arsenal using a their second different colour “Trefoil” Kit this season, with the black version on show at Liverpool.

Kit News

Tottenham Hotspur release their 3rd for the season, a kit launch that was fairly quiet with no fanfare or videos, etc… they are another Nike team that will have “Total 90” look.

This kit using an all yellow look… one interesting use of this kit within the Total 90 template is the navy band for the players name, contrasting against the yellow shirt, this also means the kit will be that rare Premier League shirt that will carry different colour player name and numbers.

Everton are another team to release their 3rd Kit this week, with inspiration taken from their new stadium again and its location, “ripples of the River Mersey” are the basis of the coloured hoops within this black kit and also see’s the “Prince Rupert Tower” logo being used as the crest in the kit.

Nottingham Forest launch the penultimate kit of the Premier League season, this all navy kit with a vibrant (solar) red detailing, there is a subtle black pattern within the body of the shirt.
