The revamped Champions League format is now in it’s third season, and we will continue to review the kits worn in each Matchweek, much like the Premier League Kit Reviews.
As with the previous years of this format, Match 2 sees the games return to two days, with nine games on Tuesday and nice on a Wednesday, this will be the format until the final round of group games in January, with these games played across Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th October.
The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.
This gives 103 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to the missing 3rd Kits as well as 4th Kits / Cup Kits that we are likely to see in use over the coming months!

Kit Highlights
Manchester United wore alternative white shorts and socks with their Away Kit at Atletico Madrid for a lesser spotted look for the Red Devils of Blue / White / White.
Napoli used their European 3rd Kit for the first time, which is all black with gold detailing, this means that it is unlikely we will see their regular red 3rd kit used in action in Champions League this season.
Galatasaray wore their Home Kit with white shorts for the second game in a row (first time at Home), does this mean that this will be their default kit look for the competition this season, lets keep an eye on this one.
It is not often we see Borussia Dortmund use a change kit in the Champions League but it was needed this when they visited Bodø / Glimt who’s first choice colours are also yellow.
LASK and Slovan Bratislava both wore their designated 3rd Kits at Home this week, with LASK now wearing this kit in both games so far in the competition
My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Aston Villa and Fenerbahce, with the vistors using alternative navy blue shorts and socks, when matched up against Villa’s current Home Kit look gave us a nice looking balance and Kit Match up.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen the following kits…
23 Home Kits
6 Away Kits
7 3rd Kits
Kit Variations seen this week.
Manchester United – Away with alternative white shorts / socks
Galatasaray – Home with white shorts

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. The Forest Away Kit this season is a lovely look but one I am not too sure we will see much of, so it was nice to see it action action Palace who are in white as first choice colours this season.

Hull City broke their run of wearing the same kits (both outfield and goalkeeper) in all games when their goalkeeper wore an alternative kit for the first time this season, the pink kit was worn against Chelsea.
My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Coventry City and Brighton & Hove Albion, Brighton debuted their 3rd for this season, and the match up with the wonderful Coventry kit worked well.

Hull City and Liverpool remain the only two teams to wear the same kit in their opening three games, however Hull continue to use just the one goalkeeper kit where Liverpool have now worn different goalkeeper looks in their three games.

There were even less Goalkeeper Kits seen over both weekend, with just Fulham, Hull City and Sunderland wearing the same keeper kit, this means Hull City are the only team to wear the same kits (outfield and goalkeeper) over the opening two games.
Brighton & Hove Albion gave us the first of what could be a number of mash ups this season with their Home and Away kits, wearing Away Kit with Home socks for a white / white / blue kit variation.
One thing we wanted to keep an eye on was the Liverpool goalkeeper sock situation, last week using white socks (alternative 3rd kit socks), this weekend’s Home game against Nottingham Forest saw a return to the standard emerald green socks.
My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, the Newcastle United Away kit is a nice look this season, and worn with alternative white shorts gave us a nice white v navy balanced match up!

Chelsea have started each of the last three seasons with no front of shirt sponsorship before ending the season in the final weeks with different sponsors, this season it’ll be just one week with no sponsor as they annouce US Crypto Company Circle Internet Group, Inc as their primary sponsor this season. Nice to see the sponsor in yellow to match the detailing in their Home Shirt.

The 2026/27 Premier League Season has now kicked off and for the fourth season in a row, I will be taking a more in depth look into the Kits each Matchweek, along with any relevant Premier League Kit News!
The opening weekend gave us games across the whole weekend, kicking off on Friday 21st August to Monday 24th August 2026.
The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below:
We have 53 out of 60 Kits released so far… with just 7 Teams left to officially release their final Kits, watch this space for those updates.
Matchweek 1 Fixtures
Total Kits Used
Kits Worn in Total – 20
Goalkeeper Kits – 20
New Kits this Matchweek
Of course all kits this week are being used for the first time this season, more details will appear in this section as we move through the season and new kit looks / variations are used.
Kit Highlights
The season kicked off on Friday 21st August with reigning champions Arsenal kicking off against newly promoted Coventry City, Arsenal wore a combination of their Home Kit carryiing the regular Adidas Logo and their Away Goalkeeper kit which has the Adidas Trefoil logo!
Tottenham Hotspur provided the first Kit “Mash Up” of the season, wearing their Home Socks (white) with their Away Kit, you can see the THFC Monogram on the back of the socks… Teams at Brentford often produce alternative looks and we have kicked off the season in the same vein.
An interesting change to the Liverpool Goalkeeper kit in this opening game at Newcastle United, white socks were used (appear to change socks from Liverpool’s 3rd Kit), was it just the clash of green and black Newcastle socks or given that the Outfield and Goalkeeper kits have similar looks I wonder if we will see white socks used to support red/green colourblindness in fans, supporters and viewers…. one to keep a look out for as we move through the season!
Hull City returned to Premier League this season, and in doing so means we have now seen Oxen Kits in the Top Flight for the first time, during the close season we were lucky enough to be able to Interview Oxen CEO Lee Jenkinson for The Football Kit Podcast, you can listen to that Episode here which included plenty of chat about this Hull City Kit.
Aston Villa were another team that went for an alternative look to kick off the season, using alternative white shorts and socks with their Away kit, the socks so the banded detail nicely match in the shirts collar and cuffs.
There was a nice tribute from Newcastle United and Liverpool, who both wore “Keegan 7” as part of their warm up shirts, Kevin Keegan who passed away in July played for both clubs wore his iconic number 7 in tribute.
My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Arsenal and Coventry City, it was great seeing Coventry kicking off this Premier League season in their retro inspired Home Kit (one of the best in the League this season in my eyes) and paired with Arsenal’s Home Kit gave us a nice looking match up to start the season.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 4 Away and 1 Third Kit in action.
There was four Kit variations used in this Matchweek
Manchester United – 3rd with alternative dark green shorts
Tottenham Hotspur – Away with Home (white) socks

Chelsea – Home with alternative blue socks
Kit Grid – Up to 25th August
Kit News
We will share the news as it happens week to week here, with plenty of kits still be released over the coming weeks and all the other Kit related news for Premier League Teams.
Any thoughts and comments please let me know over at my Socials…
The World Cup is well and truly underway, we have now seen each of the 48 Nations take to the field, so time to have a look at the kits worn so far by each of the teams.
The use of “Home” and “Away” kit labels are do not feel right when it comes to International Tournaments, I will refer to them as “Primary” and “Secondary” choice kits.
Overview of Kits
A few stats….
For the total of 48 kit appearances, we have seen “Primary” Kits (and variations) used 87.5% and “Secondary” kits (and variations) used 12.5% of the time, with only four Nations in their secondary kit!
Primary – 34
Primary variations – 8 (South Africa, USA, Curaco, Netherlands, Uruguay, Senegal, Norway, Argentina)
One of the first things to call out are the use of patches by the teams, there are several different patches used by the nations, players and for each game.
Teams will wear patches in black or white on their right arm, it appears nations will these patches on Primary and Secondary Kits with alternative used on each, for example…. a nation will wear the white patch on their Primary Kit and Black Patch on their Secondary Kit.
Past winners will have Gold Patches, these six nations again will rotate, gold and white / gold patches with Primary and Secondary Kits.
The Left Arm will have unique patches for each game in tournament, with messages in different colours for each of the game as we move through the tournament.
There are other patches, which appear to be “stickers” on player shirts.
Players making their debut at the World Cup, will wear this patch.
There are also personal awards being worn as patches, Thibaut Courtois wore a “golden glove” patch on his for winning the award in the 2018 Competition.
Lionel Messi wore two patches on his shirt, a “Legacy” patch to celebrate becoming the first male player to play in 6 different World Cups and a bagde (under his captain’s armband) for this player of tournament wins (2014 / 2022).
Match 1 Fixtures
In the opening game between Mexico and South Africa, the South Africian team wore alternative yellow shorts with their Primary Kit, these are bespoke pair of shorts, as their secondary shorts are white (and Adidas Trefoil branded).
Adidas CEO, Björn Gulden “celebrated” the start of the World Cup by wearing a “half and half” shirt of the two teams in the opening fixture. This is very much considered to be a one off to kick the World Cup off!
The much anticipated return of the Adidas Trefoil to the International Stage is happening in this tournament and the first team to wear their change kit containing the logo was Scotland, in their victory against Haiti in Foxborough, MA. They wore the Kit with alternative “salmon” socks.
Ecuador wore a mash up of the change and 3rd Kits, wearing their Change shirt (navy) with their 3rd shorts and socks (white).
Norway wore their Primary Kit with alternative red shorts and socks, this is the 3rd different colour shorts worn with the kit in it’s short life (white as default look and Navy have been worn).
Argentina ended the 2022 World Cup wearing alternative white shorts and socks with their Primary Kit (wearing it in Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and the Final), a look they kicked off this tournament in, which was a surprise as the much leaked kit document had the holders in their default look with Navy Shorts and socks and opponents Algeria in white shorts / socks.
Colombia against Uzbekistan saw both Nations in change kits, with Colombia wearing alternative fluorescent socks with their Change Kit.
That’s it for the first round of fixtures, we will be back next week with the second games in each of the groups. Let me know your thoughts and comments over at my socials.
The 2025 / 26 Premier League season ended on Sunday 24th May 2026 with Arsenal having secured their first Premier League since 2004, they were crowned Champions in the final week of the season finishing 7 points ahead of second placed Manchester City. At the foot of the table West Ham United, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated to the Championship, breaking the run where all the previously promoted teams were immediately relegated back down.

Something that I like to share which is an overview of when each of the new kit looks were first worn, for example… Brentford wore their 3rd Kit, Home Kit and then Away Kit in their first three games
Match 1 to Match 19
Match 20 to Match 38
Overall, this the breakdown of new kit looks worn per Matchweek, with new kit variatons seen in for the first 26 Matchweeks, that week also saw the 100th Kit Look of the season used with Leeds United using their Home Kit with Away Socks at Chelsea. The 100th Kit was used in the 251st Game of the season, quicker than last seasons 292 Games.
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 Socials.
One area I like to look at is a team’s performance in their kit, I have created the below tables (Home, Away and 3rd Kit), all shirt variations are included in each section, e.g. Fulham’s four Home Kit variations are all included in the “Home Kit” Table and based on “Points per Game” used ratio.
Home Kits
No real surprises here, with Arsenal heading up the points per game table, scoring about three quarter of their total points in their Home Kit. Four teams averaged over 2 points per game, Sunderland’s excellent season shows here as they were 5th best team with 1.77 points per game in their Home Kit.
No surprises with Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderes being the bottom two clubs, the only over club under 1 point per game was Tottenham Hotspur, who scored just 21 points this season in their Home Kit.
Away Kits
The Away Kit Table gives us more of surprise, with Chelsea sitting on top wth 2.17 Points per game in their Away Kit, the only to score over 2 and they also scored the most points with 13.
Tottenham Hotspur in second place is a surprise, they ended up wth 1.83 points per game and 11 points in total.
Six teams scored over 10 points in their Away Kits.
Eight teams scored under 1 point per game, with Wolverhampton Wanderers and more surprisingly Brentford who both failed to score a single point this season in their Away Kit.
3rd Kits
The 3rd Kit points per game table gave us Arsenal on top, with 2.14 Points per game and 15 points in their 7 games. Liverpool, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest all managed over 2 points per game.
After Brentford failed to score a single point in their Away Kit, they managed to score 17 points in their 3rd Kit, the highest in the Premier League this season, they did this in 11 games the most worn 3rd Kit as well.
Nine teams scored lower than 1 point per game (another 2 scoring 1.00 exactly), with Burnley and West Ham United failing to score any points at all in their 3rd Kit.
Summary and Highlights
There was a decrease in the number of kits worn this season from last year, with 10x Different Kits used compared to the 113 of 2024 / 25 season, however that does include the use of x kits from next season (Manchester United) compared the three (Arsenal, Aston Villa and Newcastle United) from this time last year!
There were plenty of discussion points through the season with the kits used, some of the highlights for me are the following.
Manchester United finished the season with the most Kit Variatons used, with 11 different kits worn, with four different Home Kit looks, including debuting their 2026/27 Home Kit.
They also wore three different Away Kit looks and only wore the kit in it’s default look (with purple shorts and white socks) just the once.
Their 3rd Kit was worn in all four possible combinatons, with it’s alternative yellow shorts and socks.
Aston Villa folllowed up their 13 Kits worn in 24/25 season by wearing 10 Different Kits this season, this was made up of three Home and three Away Kit variations and they were another team to complete the full set of combinations with their 3rd Kit, with the All White kit being worn in four different looks with it’s alternative purple shorts and socks.
Another team to complete the four kit look was Fulham, however they completed the set with their Home Kit, its all white default look was complemented with black shorts and socks as an alternative look. They completed this set by Matchweek 18, so the quickest to do so.
The single most worn outfield Kit was a tie between three clubs, AFC Bournemouth, Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers who all wore their Home Kit 27 Times.
However the single most worn kit this season was a Goalkeeper Kit, and was the only Kit to be worn over 30 times, Burnleys Green Goalkeeper was worn 31 times in total this season.
Everton gave us the Kit Variaton used the most this season, wearing alternative blue shorts on the road this season in 8 games in total, just under half of their Away games in Premier League this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s use of change kits was an interesting one this season, they seemed to favour their 3rd Kit (worn nine times in total) more than their Away Kit (worn just three times). As with tradition with Brighton over the past seasons, their 3rd Kit is the previous season’s Away Kit, so their yellow kit which was the most worn Away Kit last season (14) was worn 23 times across it’s lifespan in the Premier League.
The Away was last worn in Matchweek 16, back on 13th December 2025, it is yet to be confirmed if this will be carried across to next season as the 3rd Kit.
Brighton & Hove Albion also provided one of the two alternative Goalkeeper Kits used this season, wearing the black Nike Goalkeeper template for this season with white socks. The other look was from Newcastle United who wore their Blue Adidas Template also with white socks, however they wore this look three times this season, including on the opening game of the season.
Moving to Newcastle United and their Goalkeeper Kit usage, they were the only Adidas supplied team to mix and match their regular Kits with their Trefoil Goalkeeper Template.
A nice touch using kits was something that Newcastle United introduced this season, they celebrated when players hit milestone appearences for the club, this example shows Fabian Schär making his 250th appearence for the club.
Another Goalkeeper kit usage worth being called out takes us back to the opening weekend of the season, where Tottenham Hotspur’s Goalkeeper(s) wore last season’s Nike Goalkeeper kit (in yellow), it was rumoured that this due this season’s kits not being produced in time for the start of the season.
Arsenal lifted the Premier League Trophy in the final game of the season, however they did change into their classic home kit after playing the game in their 3rd Kit in the game at Crystal Palace.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Aston Villa, Man Cty wearing their new Home Kit, which I think is quite a nice look, something a little and paired with All Claret look of Aston Villa, one of my favourite single kit looks of the season.

Crystal Palace annouced their new front of shirt sponsor, with open-source software platform Temporal agreeing a multi-year deal starting from 2026 / 27 season. This is another example of club moving away from a front of shirt betting sponsors.
