Kit Highlights

Brighton & Hove Albion wore a special kit this weekend to celebrate their 125th Anniversary, inspired by the kit they first wore in 1901. The Kit was originally launched in May 2026, and has tonal detailing to give it that classic look. It’s yet to be confirmed if this is the only time we will see this kit this season.

Three teams wore change kits for the first time this weekend, Chelsea, Liverpool and Hull City.

Chelsea have worn an alternative Home Kit look in the opening game of the season, however this was the first time they moved away from their blue shirts, Liverpool wore their Away Kit in it’s default look with red shorts and Hull City wore their 3rd Kit after launching it last week.

There have been 3 teams that have now worn 4 different Kit looks in their opening 5 games, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United.

Brighton have worn, Home, Away (with Home Socks), 3rd and 125th Anniversary Kit

Manchester United have worn Home, Home with white socks, 3rd and debuted their Away in Premier League this weekend.

Aston Villa have worn, Home, Away with white shorts & socks, 3rd with white socks and Home with Claret socks at Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

Arsenal wore their 4th different Goalkeeper Kit of the season, wearing the Grey Adidas Template for the first time, this is registered as their first choice Goalkeeper ths season.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Newcastle United and Hull City, the Newcastle home kit is one of my favourite kits for the season and paired up with Hull’s 3rd kit (in its debut) was as nice match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 4 Away, 2 Third Kits and 1 Special Kit in action.

There were two Kit Variations used in this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa – Home with alternative claret socks
  • Ipswich Town – Away with alternative “ecru” socks, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 20th September

Kit News

AFC Bournemouth have launched a dedicated European Kit to celebrate their first ever venture in European competitions, they received a lot of critism for their sponsor size / colour for their domestic home kit, something the club have addressed and made a commitment to improve next season, click here for more details.

This kit was likely already in production after these complaints so no changes could be made!

We now have a bit of break, with International Football taking centre stage for the next two weeks and Premier League Returns on weekend of 10th October 2026, but stay tuned for new articles during this time.

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.

Kit Highlights

Five teams wore the same kit for Matchweek 2 as the opening fixtures of the season, AFC Bournemouth, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Hull City and Liverpool, with Coventry City and Hull City playing each other.

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!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 6 Away and 2 Third Kit in action.

There was four Kit variations used in this Matchweek

  • Nottingham Forest – 3rd with alternative white shorts & socks
  • Newcastle United – Away with alternative white shorts

Kit News

There were four new Kit releases this week, with Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest all launching their 3rd Kts for this season!

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.

And we are back!!

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
  • Aston Villa – Away with alternative white shorts & 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.

Premier League: Matchweek 37, Kit Review

The Premier League is in it’s final month, and after these games are the penultimate round of games, with teams playing their final Home games of the season. Due to the FA Cup Final on Saturday 16th May between Chelsea and Manchester City, this Matchweek was played across five days from Friday 15th May to Tuesday 19th May 2026. 

They are the return fixtures of the round of fixtures played in Matchweek 10, played back on 1st to 3rd November.

You can find last round of fixtures report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 37 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 106 (+1 New Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 73 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

There was just the one new kit in the penultimate round of fixtures!

Manchester United debuted their 2026 / 27 Home Kit

Along with their kit from next, the New Adidas Goalkeeper template was also used.

Manchester United, Black / Charcoal Adidas Template

Kit Highlights

Manchester United used their 11th Different Kit Look of the season, with their first use of the 26 / 27 Home Kit. This includes 4 different Home Kit looks, 3 Away and 4 3rd Kit variation. They become the highest in Premier League in terms of Kit looks used/ They also used their 6th Different Goalkeeper Kit.

Crystal Palace wore their 3rd Kit for the 2nd game in a row, this also means they have worn change kits in 4 of the last 5 games.

There were two variations of Away Kits used this Matchweek and both worn for just the 2nd time this season, Nottingham Forest wore alternative navy shorts and Liverpool wore alternative black socks.

Manchester City wore their much maligned 3rd Kit for the final time this season, this was the 4th time they have worn this kit in the last 7 games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, mainly due to Spurs’ interesting decision to wear their 3rd Kit at Chelsea, a fixture they do not often use change kits for, but seeing this Kit one final time for the season works for me!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 3 Away and 5 Third Kits in action.

There were two Kit variation used in this Matchweek.

  • Liverpool – Away with alternative blacks socks, 2nd time used
  • Nottingham Forsest – Away with alternative navy shorts, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 19th May

Kit News

Manchester United become the first team to launch their 2026/27 Kit (as teased in last weeks post). The Kit was released on 14th May and first worn in their Home game on 17th May 2026, the Kit is inspired by the kits worn in the 70s and in particular the 1977 kit, which they won the FA Cup, 50 years ago next year.

They were followed by Arsenal who launched their new Home Kit Friday 15th May and celebrated 20 Years at The Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool became the 3rd Adidas team to launch their new kit, launched on 19th May the much leaked kit was confirmed, the kit based on the 1989 / 90 title winning kit and contains flashes of white within the shirt to replicate that classic look.

There are plenty of leaks coming for next seasons kits and I am sure we will see a few more of these in the final week of the season, so watch this space as these are officallly confirmed.

Premier League: Matchweek 27, Kit Review

The Premier League returns after last weekend’s FA Cup 4th Round, with these matches played across three days on Saturday 21st February and Monday 23rd February 2026.

They are the return fixtures of the round of fixtures played in Matchweek 12 , which was the first round of mid-week games this season on between the 22nd and 24th November 2025.

You can find last round of fixtures report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 27 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 101 (No New Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 70 (+1 New Kits this Matchweek)

There were no new outfield kits on show this Matchweek, the first one of the season.

There was one new Goalkeeper Kit Look used this weekend, Brighton using white socks

Kit Highlights

This Matchweek was the first of this season NOT to feature a new Kit Look, well an outfield look that is as we did see a new Goalkeeper Kit. For comparison, last season the first Matchweek where there was no new outfield kit was Matchweek 19 (4th to 6th January 2025).

Chelsea debuted their new front of shirt sponsor, IFS a provider of Industrial AI. In the communication about this deal, it is described as a Multi-Year partnership, however it is only confirmed as a front of shirt detail for the remainder of the 2025 / 26 season.

James Milner broke the record for the most Premier League games played this weekend, his start from Brighton & Hove Albion against Brentford was his 654th Game across 23 seasons. He carried “654” on his boots and there was also a hand-written gesture within the collar of this match shirt… will we see something more official in the coming weeks?

Newcastle United playing at Manchester City was an interesting kit story, we often see Manchester City play teams in darker shades of blue with no change, however this game saw Newcastle United change into blue, probably the least likely of the their kits to be used but it still worked for me, maybe this was used as a change of luck after wearing their Home Kit in their recent Carabao Cup Semi-Final game earlier this month.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool, with two classic looking kits on show, I was secretly hoping we would see Liverpool in their 3rd Kit (all green variation), to replicate the opening “Super Sunday” fixture in 1992 (Forest also wearing a kit that resembles that look) but this match up was worked very well.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away and 3 Third Kits in action.

There two Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Fulham – Away, All Fluro Green, 5th time used
  • Manchester United – Home, with alternative black shorts, 4th time used

Kit Grid – Up to 23rd February

Kit News

The main news was the announcement of the Chelsea front of shirt sponsorship deal which as mentioned above as part of the weekly highlights.

Puma launched their final official Premier League Ball of the season, called the “Thrill” Ball, this will be used in the final games of the season. This is the first season that Puma have been supplying balls in the Premier League and this will be 4th ball launched this season, with the original ball used at the start of the season, the winter yellow ball and an unused orange “Snow” Ball.

And there we have it, the 100 Kit Looks used this season, with Leeds United use of Home Kit with Away Socks being the 100th Kit in the 251st Game of the season, this was quicker than last season (292 Games).

This also means we continue to see a new kit look every match week this season, the breakdown below shows this in more detail!

Leeds United in their 4th Different Kit Variation of the Season and their first “Mash Up”

Arsenal were in their 6th Kit look of the season, and their 3rd different Away Kit look, although this look has been used in Champions League this season, this is the first time in Premier League.

Newcastle United, Manchester United and Liverpool all wore variations of change kits for the 2nd time this season in these games. All looks were changing to matching shorts and socks (and of course Adidas Kits), add to that the similar look of Arsenal (although this was the first time that variation was used in Premier League).

AFC Bournemouth were first team to wear an outfield field kit for the 20th time this season, Manchester City also reached this number in this Matchweek but due the fixture scheduling, Bournemouth reached 20 first!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Sunderland and Liverpool, this was only the third time we have seen Liverpool’s wonderful 3rd Kit in action in Premier League this season, and paired up against Sunderland Home Kit gave us a lovely Kit Match Up in these mid-week games!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 3 Away and 4 Third Kits in action.

There were five Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Leeds United – Home with Away socks
  • Newcastle United – 3rd with alternative orange shorts & socks, 2nd time used

Premier League: Matchweek 23, Kit Review

The Premier League played its fourth round of fixtures in 2026 , with these games played across three days on Saturday 24th January and Monday 26th January 2026.

They are the return fixtures of the opening weekend of the season games played in Matchweek 1, played on the weekend of 15th to 18th August 2025.

You can find last round of fixtures report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 23 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 97 (+3 Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 68 (No New Kits this Matchweek)

There were three new kit looks on show these matches.

Liverpool wore their Away Kit with alternative “Ecru” shorts

Nottingham Forest wore their 3rd Kit with alternative fluro orange socks

Chelsea wore their Away Kit in its default look for the first time.

Kit Highlights

We are closing in on 100 Kit Looks used this season, with 3 New Looks this weekend that takes up to 97… just 3 more looks to go!

Nottingham Forest wore their 7th Different Kit Look of the season, using their 2nd different 3rd Kit look, with 2 Home Kit and 3 Away Kits variations previously used.

Liverpool were in their 6th Different Look of the season, with their 3rd different Away Kit, changing shorts is not something Liverpool have done in the past, but with a change to Adidas this season, this is the second different example of alternative shorts being worn with all green used at Burnley in Matchweek 4.

Chelsea are another team to make it 6 Different Kit Looks this season, with their 3rd different Away Kit look, they used their Away Kit in it’s default look for the first time in Premier League this season, having used it in Club World Cup… we will see the alternative green shorts and socks look used in Premier League to complete the set, they have worn the look in Carabao Cup this season already!

Arsenal lost their first game of the season in their Home Kit, the loss to Manchester United was their 15th match of the season in their first choice look.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Brentford and Nottingham Forest, the use of the alternative socks really worked well with the Forest 3rd Kit, this was also the match up of the week in the reverse fixture, so maybe one of the best paired teams of the season so far in terms of kits!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 11 Home Kits, 3 Away and 4 Third Kits in action.

There were three Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Liverpool – Away with alternative Ecru Shorts
  • Nottingham Forest – 3rd with alternative Fluro Orange socks
  • Manchester United – 3rd with alternative Yellow socks, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 27th January

Kit News

Nottingham Forest wore alternative navy shorts and socks with their Away for the second time in two games in a row, their victory at West Ham United also means they have now scored 11 points in their Away Kit, the first team to score double figure points in their Away Kit (and as it stands the kit they have won the most points in this season, only won 10 in their Home Kit).

Manchester United have now worn 8 Different Kit Variations this season, with their Away Kit being worn in its default look being the 3rd different Away Kit look, coupled with 2 Home Kit looks and 3 3rd Kit variations used this season, this is the joint highest in Premier League so far this season (with Aston Villa).

Tottenham Hotspur have now worn their 3rd Kit 5 times in the last 8 games, these all in just over a month.

Aston Villa wore their 3rd Kit (in it’s default look) against Crystal Palace, this meant it was 4 different kit looks in the last 4 games, having worn Home with Claret socks at Chelsea, Away with white socks at Arsenal, Home Kit against Nottingham Forest and then the 3rd Kit at Palace!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Arsenal and Liverpool, a classic looking Liverpool Away Kit gave us a Kit Match up that harks back to the 90s, and I am all for it!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 5 Away and 3 Third Kits in action.

There were two Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Nottingham Forest – Away with alternative navy shorts / socks, 2nd time used

Newcastle United and Adidas have reissued their classic 1995 / 96 Away Shirt, but for me it’s the training wear that they are also launching, with the team donning this classic sweatshirt in training this week. The full range is being released on 13th January.
