The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 24 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 91 (+1 New Kits this Matchweek)
Goalkeeper Kits – 69 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was one new kit this weekend.

Fulham wore their 3rd Kit for the first time this season, wearing it with white socks, however they do not appear to be their Home Socks as do not carry “FFC” wordmark above Adidas logo.

Kit Highlights

Southampton won their first game in their Away kit in their 10th use of the yellow and navy kit, it was also their first victory in any change kit this season!

Everton and Jordan Pickford wore their first choice goalkeeper kit for the 20th time this season, in just 23 games (game at hand is next week), this is the most worn goalkeeper kit so far this season!

Crystal Palace wore their Away Kit for the 10th time this season and their victory at Manchester United means they have now won 15 points in the kit this season, the most points in an Away Kit!

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Chelsea and West Ham United, it was a surprise to me to see West Ham use their Home Kit at Chelsea, changing socks to avoid that clash, a nice match up.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 5 Away Kits and 2 3rd Kits

There were two variation seen over these fixtures.

Fulham – 3rd Kit, with white socks
West Ham United – Home with alternative sky blue socks, 3rd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 4th February

Kit News

Brighton & Hove Albion have extended the Kit Deal with Nike until 2030, a decision that does not seem to have gone down well with fans with many raising concerns over the designs of the shirts in recent seasons and seeing this continue for another five years.

The Premier League games completed for January with Matchweek 23, and we are 60% of the way through the season! These were the reverse fixtures from the opening weekend of the season, Matchweek 1.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 23 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 90 (No new Kits this Matchweek)
Goalkeeper Kits – 69 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were no new outfield kits this weekend, only the second Matchweek that this has happened this season (first being Matchweek 19).

There was one new Goalkeeper Kit used, with Manchester City debuting their AI Designed Kit (designed by Ederson, Stefan Ortega and Rico Lewis).

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!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 2 3rd Kits

There was just the single variation seen over these fixtures.

Newcastle United – Away with alternative white shorts, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 27th January

Kit News

Manchester City who used their AI Generated Goalkeeper kit this weekend have also announced the 10 options for their 3rd Kit for 2026 / 27 season, which was created via AI by fans and kit designers out there… you can vote for your favourite here

The Premier League games are coming thick and fast, with another round of fixtures completed after last week’s Midweek Fixtures. These were the reverse fixtures from Matchweek 2.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 22 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 90 (+3 new Kits this Matchweek)

There were three new kit look in this weekend.

Liverpool used alternative socks with their Away Kit.

Aston Villa used their 3rd Kit with its default black socks for the first time in Premier League this season.

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.

Kit Stats

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

There were three variations seen over these fixtures.

Liverpool – Away with alternative white socks
Tottenham Hotspur – Home with alternative Navy socks
Wolverhampton Wanderers- Home with alternative Old Gold shorts, 3rd time used
