My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham, the Fulham Away kit is a nice looking kit and being worn in this game gave us a nice looking Kit Match up.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have worn alternative shorts for four times in their last six games, all of these four games have been away from home and have not worn their Home Kit with black shorts in an away game since Vítor Pereira took over on 19th December, is this an initiative from the Manager?

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 Highlights
Leicester City became the first team to use a Kit 20 times this season, in just 23 games they have worn their Home Kit 20 times!
Some interesting sock usage by Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, with what appears at first glance to be an alternative pair of socks used (yellow) with rest of the team being in dark grey socks. Thanks to @_luke1878_ on “X” the answer seems to be “cuts his socks short and wears them upside down, so it looks like his socks are a different colour” – it also he appeared he done the same thing when Everton played Manchester City wearing alternative yellow socks with this kit, his socks looked the opposite!
This week saw 15 teams in their Home Kit, this was the most Home Kits used in a single Matchweek since the first round of fixtures, which were also the reverse round of fixtures
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton, a nice of balance of colours and with the accents of yellow on both kits, it seems to work well!

Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with their Home Kit at Everton.
Kit Highlights
Liverpool used an alternative kit look for the first time since 2022 / 23 season, which was also against Brentford, this game was just over 2 years ago on 2nd January 2023! This also means that Liverpool have worn four kits in the last four games.
Aston Villa, used their 9th Kit Variation of the season, the most kit looks used by a club in Premier League so far this season. The nine kits consist of three different Home Kit Looks, four Away and now two 3rd Kits..! They have worn two new kit looks in their last two games.
Southampton continued their of defeats in their Away kit, making it nine loses in nine games in their yellow and navy kit.
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, when a club makes a small change to their kit to avoid a clash is something I can appreciate, so the navy socks enabling these clubs to remain in their traditional looks was a highlight for me this weekend.

Another team that have yet to win in their Away kit is Southampton, this was the 8th use of their Away Kit (in 11 games) and have lost all eight games.
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, although controversial for any of these teams to play in their change kit in a North London Derby, Tottenham in Sky Blue is one of my all time favourite looks, so seeing this match up was something I enjoyed!

Although worn in the FA Cup I want to call out the special kits worn by Premier League Clubs.
Aston Villa’s 150th Anniversary Kit, worn in the game against West Ham United. The black shirts do not have sponsor logos and blacked out Adidas logo, with just player numbers and no names. This was paired with white shorts and black socks to celebrate the original kit worn by the club. It is yet to be confirmed if we will see this kit used in Premier League this season.
Arsenal used their “No More Red” Campaign for 4th Season, the all white kit was based on the current Tiro 24 template was worn against Manchester United. The shirts will be auctioned off to support local youth charities, full details can be found on Arsenal’s website here

The FA Cup 3rd Round is one of the highlights of the English football season, with teams from Premier League and Championship entering the competition with those from League One, League Two and Non-League Teams.
Time for a quick recap….
1st Round – 1st November to 4th November 2024
2nd Round – 29th November to 1st December 2024
The 3rd Round this season was played over 6 days, between Thursday 9th January to Tuesday 14th January (the games on 14th January were 3 matches postponed from Saturday 11th January), there are 32 games in total in this round and all games were played to a final result, with replays now scrapped from this season!
Everton were one of the teams that kicked the FA Cup 3rd Round off on Thursday evening were they played Peterborough United. The wore alternative blue socks at Home (default socks are white), it turns out Peterborough United turned up using their Away Kit which used white socks as well, so Everton made the switch to blue socks to avoid the clash.
Aston Villa are celebrating their 150th Anniversary this season and used their FA Cup game on Friday 10th January to wear their celebration kit. The Black shirt with red lion pays tribute to the first kit worn by the club in 1875, the kit was paired with white shorts and black socks, also the shirt did not contain any sponsors, the Adidas logo was “Blacked” out and the only player numbers were worn, not names. A truly wonderful look, that I do hope we get to see again this year!
They also used a special goalkeeper kit too, so it was nice to see the whole team get something different in this case.
Liverpool v Accrington Stanley (who are they – yes, you have to be a certain vintage to get that reference) was another game with a special kit, with Accrington Stanley wearing a special one off change kit to commemorate their appearance at Anfield. This was also the 3rd different kit used by Accrington in their 3 FA Cup games, having worn Away in the 1st Round (at Rushall Olympic) and Home Kit (home to Swindon Town).
Brighton & Hove Albion used alternative socks in their game against Norwich City, not necessarily anything to be looked into here, however they used alternative white shorts through-out their Carabao Cup campaign (3 Home games), so will this be another alternative look from the Premier League? Let’s see what happens in the 4th Round.
I wanted to call out our Friends at The Terrace, who’s wonderful Morecambe Kit got some get visibility when the team played at Chelsea…
Something very interesting with the Manchester City Kit and a wonderful spot by @KitConnorsseur over at X. Manchester City wore a non branded FA Cup Sleeve patch.
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 a patch worn in Saturday’s game against Salford City.
Arsenal continued their use of a “No More Red” Kit in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup, this is the 4th season they have used this all white kit, which is being used to promote various local charities for youths, the shirts will be auctioned off and will not be produced for sale.
Details from this years campaign can be found here.
Dagenham & Redbridge who were one of the two Non-League sides in the competition and played League sides in all three rounds they played in, each of these games they were away and wore their away kit, also it was the only Admiral Kit in the competition (well at least from the 1st Round).
Mansfield Town were the 2nd team to wear three different kits in their three cup games. They wore their Away Kit in 1st Round (at Curzon Ashton) and their 3rd Kit in 2nd Round (at Stevenage).
