Kit Variation by each team

Something that I have created last season which provided to be popular was an overview of when each of the new kits were first worn, for example… Brentford wore Home Kit and Away Kit in their first two games and then 3rd Kit in game four.

Match 1 to Match 19

Match 20 to Match 38

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 Twitter Account – @Kit_Geek

Kit Tables

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. Aston Villa and Manchester United’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 Liverpool heading up the points per game table, although in comparison to last season three teams (including Liverpool) scored a better points per game average than 2.17 of this season. Liverpool also scored the most points with 63!

The three relegated teams all scored under a point per game!

Away Kits

Again, no surprises at the top of this table with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea heading the top 3 with the top 2 the only teams to average more than 2 points per game in their Away Kit.

Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points this season in their Away Kit, with 19 points, a win on the final day in this kit at Tottenham Hotspur meant they finished with more points than Crystal Palace.

There are some of the traditionally larger teams towards the bottom here, 11 teams in total averaged 1 point of less per game in their Away with Aston Villa and Manchester City both only averaging 1 point per game and further six teams scoring less than a point per game, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Southampton, who wore their Away Kit the most amount of times this season (15 games), only managed 1 win, 1 draw to score just 4 points in this kit this season.

3rd Kits

The 3rd Kit points per game table gave us Manchester City at the top with 2.4 points per game. Fulham in 2nd place and overall 5 teams scoring 2 points or more on average in their 3rd Kit.

Nottingham Forest scored the most points in their 3rd kit, with 16 point in it’s 10 uses (also the most worn 3rd Kit).

Chelsea (1 game) and Tottenham Hotspur (2 games) failed to score a point in their 3rd Kit and Brighton & Hove Albion did not use their 3rd (2023 / 24 Away Kit) at all this season.

Summary and Highlights

There was a slight increase in the number of kits worn this season from last year, with 113 Different Kits used compared to the 110 of 2023 / 24 season, however that does include the use of 3 kits from next season (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United) compared the 1 (Liverpool) 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.

Lets start with Aston Villa, they used an incredible 13 different Kit Looks this season, this is the most that have been used by a single team in a season since I have been keeping this records. They wore this season’s kits in 12 different looks and then debuted next season’s Away kit in their final game of the season.

The used their Home Kit in four different variations…

Away Kit in four different variations….

and 3rd Kit also in four different variations….

Manchester United used once less Kit Variation than last season but still managed to use 10 different looks this season, this was made up of four Home Kit looks…. and three looks for both Away and 3rd Kits.

Newcastle United’s first season back with Adidas, gave us ten different kit variations in the League this season, including four combinations of their wonderful Away Kit.

Wolverhampton Wanderers used alternative “Old Gold” shorts in nine games in total this season and all of these have taken place since they changed their Manager in December (is this Vítor Pereira’s preference on the road?) and have only worn a change Kit Once in 24 games, their final use of change kit was on 29th December 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur and ended up in their Home Kit in 34 of the 38 games.

The single most worn outfield kit look was Ipswich Town’s Home Kit which was worn 30 times this season.

Nottingham Forest used their 3rd Kit in four different looks this season, they also secured the most points in 3rd Kits, with 16 points won in it’s 10 games worn as the team qualified for European Football for the first time in 30 years.

One of interesting Kit Stories of the season was use of claret socks by Brentford when they played at West Ham United. Initially it was believed that visitors had used a pair of change socks from their hosts but closer inspection shows that these were standard Umbro Teamwear socks, not from West Ham Kit room…!

Southampton wore change kits in 18 of their 19 Away games this season, their only use of Home Kit away from St.Mary’s in the Premier League was their game at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 9th November (Matchweek 11).

Two other kits were also worn 30 times, these were the goalkeeper kits of Everton and Leicester City (both shades of green for the traditionalists out there).

Compared to last season, the Goalkeeper Kit Usage was very different with 72 different Goalkeeper kits used, this is an increase of 18% with 61 Kits used last season.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United wore 7 different Goalkeeper Kits this season.

Arsenal wore three of the standard Adidas Templates, two of their 3rd Kits (Adidas Trefoil), their new 2025 / 26 kit in their final Home game of the season and this wonderful Mash Up of their yellow and black keeper templates.

Manchester United’s 7 Goalkeeper Kits were made up of their three standard templates and they had use of three different 3rd Kit looks (Adidas Trefoil), their 7th look was their use of Green Adidas Trefoil Kit which was first used with the regular green template socks (one for the more eagle eyed Kit spotters out there).

Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Southampton all used four different Goalkeeper Kits this season, all using different looks with no mash ups.

There we have it…

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative shorts, for an all “Old Gold” look for the 9th Time, this is the most used alternative look in the Premier League this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Brentford and Fulham, two nice kits on show, likely the last time we will see this Brentford Home Kit which has been in use for two seasons and Fulham in 3rd Kit with Home socks, for a nice match up!

Kit News

There have been a few official kit launches for next season, and we have seen these kits in action over these penultimate round of fixtures.

Manchester City’s Home Kit will feature a sash for the first time, something often seen in change kits over the years but will now adorn the Home Shirt.

Arsenal’s new Home Kit goes back to just red and white for classic look, the shirt also contains a repeating pattern using the Gothic “A” often seen used through out the club’s history.

Chelsea’s Home kit continues to their recent trend of adding a detailed pattern within the shirt, this one identified as one that “celebrates the city’s iconic architecture, with our classic royal blue paired with a new vibrant shade”. The kit does include some red / white flashes in the side panels that provide some change from recent season.

It’s not just new shirts getting some love this week, Brentford who’s deal with Umbro is ending in the coming weeks have come up with a unique way to use their remaining shirts. They are launching a limited run of bespoke shirts made by upcycling unused stock from the last four seasons’ Umbro football shirts. Created in collaboration with design platform (re)boot and ROW_____Z, the project aims to reduce textile waste and highlight sustainable fashion in football.

Each shirt is unique and handmade using parts of home, away and third kits worn during Brentford’s four Premier League seasons and available from the Club’s shop.

Kit History: Aston Villa

The Championship – 2024 / 25

League One – 2024 / 25

League Two – 2024 / 25

FA Cup – 2024 / 25

FA Cup – 2024 / 25

On Saturday 17th May 2025, the 143rd FA Cup Final was hosted at Wembley between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Crystal Palace lifted the Cup, their first major trophy win in their History.

A total of 745 teams entered the competition, with 124 teams competing from First Round onward. This was the first time in the competition’s history that there were no replays played from the First Round.

I am taking this opportunity to look back at this season’s competition and the Kits worn by the teams from the First Round.

First Round – 1st November to 4th November 2024

80 Teams kicked off the First Round of the FA Cup this season, 48 teams from League One and League Two and 32 Non-League Teams, with Horsham and Guiseley being the lowest ranked teams in the competition, playing in the 7th Tier of English Football.

Tamworth and Huddersfield Town provided an interesting Kit Match up, with a lot going on with both kits, my favourite match up of this round.

Shrewsbury Town wore a mash up of their Away Kit / Home shorts and socks, a look they did not use in their League One Campaign.

Another nice looking Kit Match up was the game between Woking and Cambridge United, Woking in their traditional white / red halved shirt, matched up against Cambridge’s wonderful 3rd kit!

Second Round – 29th November to 1st December 2024

40 Teams in the Second Round, with only 9 Non League Clubs remaining in the competition.

Wealdstone and Wycombe Wanderers Kit match up was a nice one, with Wycombe in their 3rd Kit, one of Hummel’s “Mexico” Templates.

There was a lot of Blue / Yellow on show when AFC Wimbledon hosted Dagenham & Redbridge. The National League side who won this game, played all games from the First to Third Round in their Away Kit.

I do have a soft spot for Red / Black Kits (I think its a love of AC Milan from the 80s / 90s), so Kettering Town’s Home Kit was great to see in action, and matched up with Doncaster Rover’s Away kit gave us a nice looking Kit Match up!

Third Round – 9th January to 14th January 2025

The FA Cup Third Round, one of the highlights of the English Football Calendar with teams from Premier League and Championship entering the competition, giving us a total of 64 Teams left to compete, there was just two Non-League teams left, with Tamworth and Dagenham & Redbridge.

Aston Villa used the FA Cup to wear their special 150th Anniversary Kit, a wonderful looking kit that was elegant in it’s simplicity, carry an original Club Crest and just player Numbers, a shame it was only used in this one game.

Arsenal used their “No More Red” special Charity Kit, their fourth year of wearing an all white kit to highlight their campaign against youth violence and knife crime.

Another team in a special kit was Accrington Stanley, who wore a one off kit for their trip to Anfield to play Liverpool.

A full Third Round Kit Review can found here

Fourth Round – 7th February to 11th February 2025

The Competition is now taking to take shape, with 32 teams left competing.

Coventry City wore a special “4th Kit” for their game against Ipswich Town, the kit was the same design / template as their Home Kit but in Navy with tonal crest, logo and sponsorship.

Chelsea used their 3rd Kit for the first time in a domestic game this season, it has only been used twice this season both games against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fifth Round – 28th February to 3rd March 2025

In the Fifth Round, 16 teams left with just 4 of those being outside the Premier League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative “Old Gold” Shorts, they used this all “Old Gold” look in their FA Cup Games this season.

One of my favourite kit usages is when a team wears a “Tri-colour” kit, with all elements of the Kit being in different colours, so Manchester City against Plymouth Argyle produced a wonderful Kit Match up with both teams in “Tri-Colour” Kits.

Quarter-Finals – 29th March to 30th March 2025

Just eight teams left in the competition, with just Preston North End being a team from outside the Premier League.

Brighton & Hove Albion had an interesting Kit Choice, when wearing their Home Kit in this season’s competition, they wore alternative blue socks in each of it’s three appearances.

Every team in the Quarter-Finals wore their Home Kit.

Semi-Finals – 26th April to 27th April 2025

There was not a lot to talk about in terms of kit in the Semi-Finals.

Aston Villa wore all white, this is using the white home shorts (the default Away shorts are sky blue), they have used this look in all Competitions (Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League) this season.

One detail to call out is with Manchester City’s Kit, is their use of a non branded FA Cup Sleeve patch this season.

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 this patch being worn.

Final – 17th May 2025

Crystal Palace wore alternative white socks in the final, a look they have not used as yet this season and one that I am sure will go down in history after their victory against Manchester City, this was their 3rd different Kit Look of their campaign.

And there we have it, the FA Cup 2024 / 25… congratulations to Crystal Palace once again!

There were only three change kits worn this weekend, all three were variations of the kit, with Arsenal and Aston Villa in variations of their Away Kit and West Ham United in their 3rd.

The use of 17 Home Kits in this weekend’s fixtures was also the joint-highest in a single Matchweek this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Ipswich Town and Brentford, two teams in their Home Kits, a nice looking “Umbro Derby” as we get the end of the season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Aston Villa, regular followers / readers will know that I have soft spot for contrasting sock colours, so both team in this look, as well as Aston Villa using another Kit Look was always a winner for me!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 4 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

Premier League: Matchweek 23 Kit Review

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

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 18 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 83 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)

Two new Goalkeeper Kits seen this weekend:

Kit Highlights

Manchester United have now worn 6 different Goalkeeper Kit looks this season, this includes 3 different Adidas Trefoil looks with their 3rd Kit.

Aston Villa were another team to wear a new goalkeeper kit, they used the yellow version of the current Adidas Template, their 4th different version and they have also each of these kits in the last 4 games!

West Ham United and Everton now have worn 6 Kit variations each, both joint 2nd Highest in Premier League so far this season!

Only four teams have worn the same kit in their last 2 games, Aston Villa Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Liverpool have worn their Home Kit in previous 2 outings!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester City and Everton, contrasting socks is always a winner in my eyes, so both teams in this look makes this Kit Geek very happy!

There were three variations seen over these fixtures, one Home, one Away and one 3rd!

  • Everton – Away with alternative yellow socks

Premier League: Matchweek 16 Kit Review

The Premier League has now completed Matchweek 16 and we are a week away from the start of Christmas Period of games and the halfway point of the season! Here is our regular look at the Kits worn in this weekend.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 16 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 77 (+4 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 62 (No New Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were four new Kit looks this Matchweek..

Aston Villa wore their 3rd Kit for the first time in Premier League this season, although they did use alternative white socks at Nottingham Forest. This is their 7th different kit variation of the season, the highest now in the League.

Crystal Palace used their 3rd Kit for the first time at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with their Away Kit, based on the white trim my guess would be these are alternative Home socks but created an interesting look at Southampton!

West Ham United were another team to change their socks up, this time with their 3rd Kit which they combined with Home socks.

Kit Highlights

Everton wore alternative blue shorts to create all blue look, this was 3rd time this look was used in 5 games.

Brentford lost for the first time this season in their Home Kit, the 10th game they have worn it but their loss at Chelsea was the first!

West Ham United wore Home socks with their 3rd Kit, this means they have worn these socks with all three kits this season in the League.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the Manchester Derby, tri-colour kits are one of my favourite kit things, so with Manchester City’s home already in this look and the Manchester United going for alternative shorts and socks, it was always going to be a winner in my eyes!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 16 Home Kits, 1 Away Kit and 3 3rd Kits

There were five variations seen over these fixtures.

  • Everton – Home Kit in All Blue, 3rd time used this season
  • Aston Villa – 3rd Kit with alternative white socks
  • Manchester United – Home Kit with alternative black shorts and white socks, 2nd time used
  • Tottenham Hotspur – Away with Navy socks
  • West Ham United – 3rd with Home socks

Kit Grid – Up to 17th December
