Manchester City were the other team with a new look this week, using their 3rd Kit for the first time in the Premier League.
The three new goalkeeper kits on show
Arsenal – Fluro Yellow
Chelsea – Light Blue
Crystal Palace – Charcoal Grey
Kit Highlights
Liverpool used their charity sponsor for this weekend’s game against Chelsea, linked to the regular front of shirt sponsor Standard Charter, they have used this “Futuremakers” logo in previous seasons in one off games.
Arsenal became the fourth team already this season to use four different goalkeeper kits when they used their “Trefoil” goalkeeper kit, the same as used by Manchester United but like the Red Devils it was only the black version that they promoted with the kits during the launch. The other teams with four goalkeeper kits this season are, Manchester United, Liverpool and Southampton… to compare last season, three team used 4 kits all season!
There are six teams that have worn change kits in all their Away games so far this season, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United and Southampton!
Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only team to use just one kit look this season so far in the League and given their upcoming fixtures looks likely to remain that way well into November!
Crystal Palace used a different goalkeeper kit for the first time this season, moving away from their aqua kit to a charcoal grey version of this Macron Template.
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between AFC Bournemouth and Arsenal, the Bournemouth kit this season is a clean and classy look, paired with Arsenal’s vibrant 3rd kit worked well for a nice looking match up!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits
There were two variations seen this weekend
West Han United – Home, with alternative sky blue socks (2nd time used)
Arsenal – 3rd Kit, alternative socks

Kit News
It looks like Adidas will be increasing their “Elite” teams with the Premier League from next season, currently there are just two teams in this bracket (Arsenal and Manchester United) from the Premier League out of the five in total.
Next season Newcastle United will be joining them, and with rumours of Liverpool deal already in place for next season, it now looks like Aston Villa will also be joining this “Elite” list as well, giving the Premier League five teams in total that may have a “Trefoil” logo with their 3rd Kit next season!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back later this week with The Champions League Match 3 Kit Review.

Stuttgart followed a tradition we often see with German teams in Europe and used a dedicated European Kit for the first time, with gold details and paired with red socks (different from their Away Kit socks).
On Tuesday 1st October, out of the 18 teams that played 7 in total wore the same kit as in Match 1, with 6 teams playing against each other, with RB Salzburg v Brest, Arsenal v PSG and Borussia Dortmund v Celtic, the only other team that wore the same kit was Inter Milan!
Slovan Bratislava wore their 3rd Kit at Home against Manchester City, who also wore their 3rd Kit so the rare sight of a 3rd Kit v 3rd Kit match up!
BSC Young Boys wore a change kit in The Champions League for the first time since 8th December 2021 when they played Manchester United, they used their all white Away against Barcelona on Tuesday 1st October.
Bayern Munich have yet to wear their Home Kit in the competition, having worn 3rd Kit in first game and now Away kit at Aston Villa.
Bologna launched their 3rd Kit on Monday and debuted it in their game against Liverpool.
One of the Kits of the season, Juventus’ 3rd Kit was used for “The Old Lady’s” visit to RB Leipzig, the second of the possible four Trefiol Kits to used in the Competition, and it looks great in action.
My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between PSV and Sporting CB, a classic look for PSV Eindhoven and the Sporting Kit being something a little different produced a nice Kit Match up with a real European feel… loved it!

There are 6 Teams that have worn change kits in all of their Away games this season, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United and Southampton, with Brighton, Crystal Palace and Southampton wearing just their Away Kits in these games!
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Brentford and West Ham United, I do love a Kit Mash up, and seeing different elements of kits being used together, so seeing the Black Away Shirt and Shorts paired with Home Socks was always going to be popular with me, matched against the Brentford Kit just seemed to work well!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits and 5 Away Kits.
A couple of variations seen this weekend, both mentioned above as they used for the first time
Manchester City – Home with Alternative White Socks
West Ham United – Away with Home Socks (white)

Kit News
Manchester United have launched their “George Best” Collection, inspired by their iconic player and winner of Ballon d’Or in 1968 and European Cup in the same year, the collection takes influence for the kit worn in that final at Wembley and includes a tracksuit jacket, trousers and a long sleeve shirt containing Best’s signature and the number 7 in the same style used on those kits.
Another team in the Adidas family also released a retro range this week, with Newcastle United launching of their “Originals” range. The shirt is a cracker, many fans and kit lovers expressing their preference to this shirt of the current Home Shirt.
Chelsea are rumoured to be close to reaching an agreement for their front of shirt sponsorship, the club are talks with three major Airlines, belived to be Qatar Airways, Riyahd Air and Turkish Airlines, with the deal expected to be annouced in the coming weeks. I would expect the new shirt sponsor will be debuted after the next International Break in October.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back later this week with Champions League, Match 2 and then after next weekend’s fixtures for Premier League.
This season see a new format of the Champions League, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and create a Matchweek Kit Review, much like my Premier League ones… so here we are, looking at Match 1 of The Champions League, 2024/25 Edition!
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 a 4th Kits or Cup Kits that we are likely to see in use over the coming months!
Match 1 Fixtures
Total Kits Used
Kits Worn in Total – 36
New Kits this Matchweek
As the first week of the Competition, all 36 kits are being used for the first time!
Kit Highlights
Due to some of the regional country laws around sponsorship gave some slightly different Kit Looks..
Aston Villa wore a Charity Sponsor (one they have used before) in their game at BSC Young Boys, their first game in Europe’s Premier Competition for over 40 years!
Stuttgart wore their Away Kit at Real Madrid, but went with no sponsor to give them a plan chest band on the kit, for a classic look!
Bayern Munich followed their recent trend of wearing change kits in Home European games, by wearing their “Trefoil” Clad 3rd Kit in the emphatic 9-2 victory against Dinamo Zagreb.
As pointed out by our friend Denis of Museum of Jerseys all 11 of Liverpool players were in Green, although different shades in their game at AC Milan.
Manchester City debuted their 4th Kit in their Home game against …., released just last week they were quick to use the kit (even before using their 3rd kit) and it was in a Home fixture, is this a trend we will see for the rest of the campaign for The English Champions!
Only three teams wore Home Kits in Away games, Inter Milan at Manchester City (possible only due to 4th kit being worn at Home), Girona at PSG and Arsenal at Atalanta.
Borussia Dortmund wore their “Cup Kit” at Club Brugge, so could be argued it was actually four teams!
My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between AS Monaco and Barcelona, a nice Kit Match up with two good kits for these teams this season..!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen the following kits…
20 Home Kits
8 Away Kits
6 3rd Kits
1 4th Kit
1 “Cup” Kit

Kit Highlights
For the first time in 38 years Arsenal were forced to wear a change kit in The North London Derby againt Tottenham Hotspur, this was due to PGMOL ruling that there was too much white in the Arsenal home kit, Arsenal reportedly offered to wear alternative red shorts but their offer was rejected, so it was their Away Kit that was used…!
West Ham were the first team this season to use a Kit Variation, with alternative blue socks with their Home Kit, this was also the only Home Shirt used by an Away team this Matchweek.
This was soon followed by Chelsea, in alternative socks with their Away kit.
There just 2 teams that have only 1 kit so far this season – Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Wolves also just wearing the 1 Goalkeeper as well.
Brentford and Everton are the first team to wear Home, Away and 3rd Kits this season in their opening 4 games.
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester City and Brentford, the two kits working well together to give a nice overall look on the pitch.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 11 Home Kits and 5 Away and 4 3rd Kits in action.
The first variations of the season used this weekend

Kit News
Manchester City have release their much rumoured “4th” Kit… making it the 61st Kit of the Premier League this season, described as the below on the Manchester City website.
“Marking 30 years since the release of the album Definitely Maybe, it’s definitely City. Co-designed by lifelong Man City fan Noel Gallagher, this collection pays homage to the album that defined an era. Featuring designs inspired by the iconic Oasis album cover”
I managed to pop into the Puma store on Carnaby Street, London on the day of it’s launch to see it in person, whether the team needs a 4th Kit is another debate, but as a Kit and Kit Collection this does look great.
This may not be the last 4th Kit we see, as there is still talk of either Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur launching a 4th Shirt this season linked with Air Jordan Brand.
The final two teams to release their 3rd Kits this season, did so this week…
Aston Villa, have gone for “Midnight Blue” as their alternative change kit, giving a nice balance between their three kits.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have gone for a more flamboyant colour, “Hyper Voilet” is its description, it’s bold choice to used and will be interesting to see in action.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back after next weekend’s fixtures.
I like to look at Football Kits and Kit Stats in many ways, one way that I wanted to revisist for the previous seasons was a Top Trump format.
So for those of a certain age will know all about Top Trumps, so for this set I have looked at the kits of each of the 20 Premier League Teams, Home, Away and Third kits and stats around these kits, the stats I have picked are the following:
League Games Worn – How many league games was the kit (and variations) worn
Variations of Kit – The number of variations of that kit were worn
Games Won – Number of games won wearing the kit(s)
Points Won – Number of points won wearing the kit(s)
Points per game – The average number of points per game (total points / games worn) per kit
I have highlighted the “Top Trump” in each section in “Gold and Black”.
The cards by each team….
There they are, 60 Top Trump cards… any surprises there, Wolverhampton Wanderers points per game in their change kits, Tottenham Hotspur scoring 54 points in their home kit, Luton Town’s 4 variations of their 3rd Kit?
What would you consider as the overall “Top Trump” card, Manchester City Home Kit or something else?
Are there any other stats that you think I should haved used for future Top Trump looks at Football Kits.
Please let me know over at @Kit_Geek on Twitter or in the comments below.
The 2023 / 24 Premier League season ended on Sunday 19th May 2024 with Manchester City securing their 4th Premier League on the final day of the season, pipping Arsenal to title. At the foot of the table, the three promoted teams from last season Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United found themselves dropping back down to the Championship.
As the season has ended, I will follow my tradition of taking a more in depth look into the kits worn through this season, some stats and information behind these kits.

Something new that I have created for this season is an overview of when each of the new kits were first worn, for example… Aston Villa four different kit variations in their opening four games, two Home Kits and two Away Kits…!
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. Manchester United’s 6 Home Kit variations are all included in the “Home Kit” Table and based on “Points per Game” used ratio.
Please also note, as these are the match performances in each kit, I have not taken into account the points deductions for Everton and Nottingham Forest.
Home Kits
No surprises at the top of table, with Manchester City heading the table up with 2.37 points per game in their Home Kit, followed by Arsenal (2.32) and Liverpool (2.22). Manchester City scoring 64 Points in Home Kits.
Only the three relegated teams scored less than a point a game when in their Home Kit.
Away Kits
Arsenal are the stand out team in their Away Kit this season, 2.58 points per game and huge 31 points in total (out a possible 36), Manchester City the only other team above 2 points per game (2.33).
Wolverhampton Wanderers ended the season with 1.67 points per game in their Away Kit are another team to call out, finishing with the 4th best performance here, after having the 4th worst performance in their Home Kit!
There were only 8 teams with a better record than a point per game, Sheffield United who wore their Away 15 times in 19 Away games, only managed 6 points here at 0.40 points per game!
3rd Kits
Champions Manchester City were the only team to have a 100% win record in a kit, with 6 points from the 2 games in their 3rd Kit!
Another 4 teams managed to scored over 2 points per game and over, with Liverpool 2.25, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers all scoring 2 points per game!
Manchester United managed 14 points in their 3rd Kit, the most points scored here.
We also had 3 teams that failed to score a point in their 3rd Kit, relegated teams Sheffield United and Burnley were joined by Premier League Runners Up Arsenal, only wearing their 3rd kit once and losing at Fulham.
Summary and Highlights
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 Manchester United, who for the second season in a row wore a staggering 6 different Home Kit Variations, again like last season this mainly due to the socks worn, with 3 different pairs of black socks worn with the Home Kit this season, with the default pair (white cuffed with pattern), and 2 pairs of Teamwear socks, one with Adidas wordmark and one with just Adidas “3 Stripes”
And with 5 different change kit used as well, makes a total of 11 Different Kit looks used this season, this includes two different looks of the 3rd Kit, however they were one of the four teams that did use their 3rd Kit in it’s default look, which was with red socks.
Although Luton Town ended the season relegated from the League, they have provided football fans with plenty of entertainment through out the season, including us Kit Lovers… Their three kits were proved to be very interchangable and they ended up using 10 Different Kit Variations this season, with two Home Kit Looks, four Away Kit and four 3rd Kits, all maintaining the overall Luton Town feel to the kits… thank you to Denis at Museum of Jerseys for this wonderful overview of the kits, which can also be found here.
The most worn outfield kit look was Brighton & Hove Albion’s Home Kit which was worn 28 times out of the 38 Games, this kit was also worn once with white shorts and socks at Luton Town, so Home was worn 29 times in total. Chelsea did wear their Home Kit 30 times in total, with 26 in it’s default look and 4 times with alternative blue socks but as a single look the Brighton Home Kit takes it!
Arsenal ended the season wearing their Away Kit 12 times in their 19 Away games, and amassed 31 Points out of 36, winning 10 of the games in this wonderful kit..!
Liverpool were unbeaten in their Away Kit, playing 7 games winning 3 and drawing 4 of those matches.
The single most worn kit of the 2023/24 Premier League Season, was a goalkeeper kit and the first choice kit of Everton, which was worn in 29 of the 38 games this season!
Sheffield United gave us one of my favourite kit “Easter Eggs” of the season, they wore alternative red socks with Home, Away and 3rd Kits this season, with none of the kits having red socks as part of their default look!
Compared to previous seasons it was a fairly uneventful period for goalkeeper kits in 23/24, no mash ups, no unusual elements to the kits and with 15 teams in the expected 3 goalkeeper kits, there were two clubs (Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest) who used just 2 kits all season and another two clubs, Arsenal and Brentford who used 4 kits… Liverpool also used 4 Goalkeeper kits, with their 24/25 Kits being used in the final game of the season.
Arsenal – used 3 different templates, but one with Black Shorts (the default look for The Gunners) and Green Shorts, as seen by several other Adidas Supplied clubs.
Brentford – were the only team to use 4 different kit looks for their goalkeepers.
There we have it…

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.
Matchweek 36
Total Kits Used
Kits Worn in Total – 109 (+1 from Matchweek 35)
Goalkeeper Kits – 60 (+1 from Matchweek 35)
New Kits this Matchweek
There was one new kit on show this weekend, with Nottingham Forest using alternative socks with their 3rd Kit, we have seen these socks before but they were worn with alternative shorts as well, interesting against Brentford who wear the same colour combination as Sheffield United… so I guess they did not like the look of the shorts to use them again!
In the Midweek Game between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur (delayed from MW26), Tottenham used the Green Nike Goalkeeper Template for the first time this season.
Kit Highlights
This matchweek saw five teams in 3rd Kits, the joint most worn in one round of fixtures, however this was the first time this season where we saw three teams in 3rd Variations with Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Luton Town and Everton, a nice balance between the two kits and likely the last time we will see this wonderful Everton 3rd Kit in action!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 1 Away Kit and 5 3rd Kit in action.
There were a total of 4 Kit variations used in this Matchweek

Kit Grid – Up to 7th May 2024
Kit News
The first offical Kit Launch for 2024/25 has happened and there is no surprise that it is Liverpool. Their much leaked home kit is now available for Pre-Order for 16th May, this suggests that we will see this kit in action (a regular occurance for Liverpool) with the likely game being the final game of the season against Wovlerhampton Wanderers. I will be interested to see the kit in action and initially quite like the yellow / white side flashes, which are also on the shorts’ side panels, an element of the kit that was not seen in the leaked images..!
Another club that may debut their 2024/25 Home Kit before the end of the season is Manchester City who are making plans to wear the new kit against West Ham United on the final game of the season, HOWEVER… it has been reported that they will ONLY wear their new kit if… the Premier League Title has been secured at that point either by themselves or another club, if the title race goes down to that final round of fixtuers then they will wear this season’s kit.

New Kits this Matchweek
There was just the one new kit on show this weekend and it was the 100th Kit of the Premier League Season!
Brighton & Hove Albion wore their 3rd Kit for the first time this season, this was last season’s away kit but in this instance was worn with white shorts.. also meaning that The Seagulls have worn alternative white shorts with all three of their kits in League this season.
Kit Highlights
Manchester City became the first team to wear a kit 20 times this season (out of 27 games) when they played Local Rivals Manchester United.
After calling out their excellent record of Wolverhampton Wanderers in their change kits a few weeks ago, I may have jinxed them as their defeat against Newcastle United was their first loss in a change kit this season (8 games – 5 Away kit / 3 3rd Kit appearences).
My favourite Kit Match Up of this weekend was The Manchester Derby, I do enjoy this Kit Match up when it is played a Manchester City, one of Kit Guilty Pleasures is seeing Manchester United in Black Shorts and especially this season with their default socks being used, giving us this look for just the second time.
