My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Nottingham Forest and Sunderland, something classical looking about “Red v Blue” with both teams in white shorts, and given it was Ryder Cup weekend, this was the game for me!

A reminder you can find details of the 9 Different Kit Manufacturers used in the Premier League this season (along with the rest of The EFL Clubs) – here
Any thoughts and comments please let me know over at my Socials…
The Heat Press returns for issue number 5 of it’s summer series looking at the kits released in English Football over the last few days, with 21 new kits launched since Issue 4
A reminder that I will take a regular look at the Kits launched across the English Leagues and beyond, the discussion points and anything else Kit Related that comes up over these pre-season weeks.
I will only share those kits that have been officially released, as there are plenty of leaks that do the rounds but we will keep those official launches.
You will also find my Kit Overview illustrations for each of the four divisions which will used to document the Kit Usage of all 92 English Clubs.
Premier League – 25 / 60 Kits
New Kits:
Nottingham Forest, Home: Well this is a great looking kit, the pinstripes is a nod to kits of the past for Nottingham Forest but this one may be one of the best, the “Garibaldi Red” pinstripe gives the shirt a little more depth, but overall a cracker in my eyes.
Crystal Palace, Home: Macron have delivered one the nicest Home Kits in their relationship, introducing white into the shirt, with white pinstripes with the shirts and white sleeve “tapping”.
AFC Bournemouth, Home: Another nice offering in terms of Home Kit from Umbro for Bournemouth, you just cannot go wrong, however this is a shirt that is let down by the sponsor but luckily there is an option for sponsor-less version for fans to buy.
Aston Villa, Home: Aston Villa are in their second season with Adidas and their new Home Kit fits the current Adidas template, with some gold trim and details which pays tribute to the Holte End at Villa Park.
Manchester United, Away: Manchester United introduce a new colour to their away kit this season, using lilac and plum, this is a kit that is using the classic “snowflake” pattern from their early 90s Away Kit, however much larger in the design than that kit, paired with plum shorts and lilac socks, there are also alternative lilac shorts which I am sure we will see through out the season.
Championship – 30 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Queen’s Park Rangers, Away: QPR are another team that often look to their past for inspiriation of their change kits, this one looks back 50 years to 1975 / 76 season where they finished 2nd in the old First Division, using pink to give it a modern twist.
Bristol City, 3rd: A funky looking kit is the first offering from Bristol City and O’Neills this season, this all black kit has neon flashes across the shirt (almost northern lights like).
Coventry City, Home: Hummel and Coventry continue their productive relationship, a nice looking kit for this season. It will be all Sky Blue with the rest of the kit in the same shade.
Wrexham, Away: Following a similar template to the home kit, Wrexham’s Away is inspired by colours of the Daffodil, the Welsh National Flower, this will be the first time the club have worn yellow and green since the 90s.
Sheffield United, 3rd: This 3rd Kit is another shirt that is looking to home location for inspiration, this time it is the cultural aspect of the city of Sheffield “Thread Through the Noise, begins at one of Sheffield’s most storied cultural landmarks: The Leadmill. A cornerstone of the city’s music scene since 1980” .
Millwall, Away: A new colour for Millwall’s Away Kit palette, with an all “cream” or dare I day Ecru Kit, paired with navy and mint trim, another nice clean Millwall Kit for this season.
Hull City, Home: Kappa’s only team in English leagues is Hull City and it is a partnership that seems to deliver in terms of design, this season’s Home Kit is another wonderful looking shirt, with the use of “tiger stripes” on the sleeves and a return to amber as the first choice base colour .
Swansea City, Home: The kit launch you did not expect to see, Snoop Dogg and Swansea…. this kit is a “nod” to the Kit worn by 96 / 97 team that reached the Division 3 Play-Off Final under Jan Molby, the kit has a checkered pattern in collar and cuffs, which also appears more subtly within the shirt, shorts and socks.
Sheffield Wednesday, Home: Thicker stripes return for Sheffield Wednesday for this season, and those stripes contain SWFC within them, giving a retro vibe to the shirt. The kit will be matched with blue shorts and socks, the time this colour has been used since 2016 / 17 season.
League One – 43 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Bradford City, Home: Bradford complete their set for their return to League One by launching their Home Kit, the claret shirt which will contain a thin stripe in amber is a change from the recent years but gives a nice balance in it’s look.
Luton Town, Away: Reflo are looking to make a mark and this away shirt certainly takes a chance, the use of white sleeves really breaks the shirt up and gives it a balance that works with the body of the shirt’s design.
Huddersfield Town, 3rd: This green and gold 3rd kit for Huddersfield Town is a nod to the Yorkshire heritage of the club, the colour is being called “Regal botanical garden green” and there is theme in floral tones with “the main body of the shirt subtly patterned with our floret and the unmistakable Yorkshire rose, the design is inspired by the idyllic hillsides and landscapes present across our home within God’s Own county”, one for those Yorkshire folk!
Port Vale, Away: Port Vale complete arguably the finest set of Retro Home and Away kits this season with this classic looking Away Kit as part of their 150th Anniversary celebrations. The Kit is inspired by the 110-goal title winners of 1958 / 59 Season.
Bolton Wanderers, Away: This all navy kit is a nice alternative to the Home Kit, and looks back to the club’s first European campaign 20 years ago.
League Two – 40 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Walsall, 3rd: Another team to complete their Kit set, with an all light blue 3rd Kit, Walsall have be a team that have used their kits well in combining elements for Home, Away and 3rd Kits to provide alternative looks to avoid clashes, the black away shorts and shorts may combine well with this shirt, fingers crossed it’s something we will see this season!
Accrington Stanley, Home: Accrington going for a new look this season with this Home Kit, the shirt has a white chest and sleeves with details in red that then continue throughout the rest of the kit.
This week’s Kit News…..
Congratulations on Chelsea wining the FIFA Club World Cup, this will impact the club’s kits moving forward over the coming seasons as they will be wearing a “Champions Badge” on their shirts until the next competition scheduled at the moment for 4 years time!
Manchester City have announced an extension of their Kit Deal with Puma, it has been announced as a multi-year deal but being reported as a minimum of 10 years worth over £1bn throughout that period, this would make it the most lucrative Kit Deal in British Football History.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
The 2024 / 25 Premier League season ended with total of 113 different kits used by the 20 teams, you can find details of all of those kits in my in depth End of Season Kit Review, however of those 113 kits there was 33 kit looks that only got one appearance, these are our “One Kit Wonders”!
Thirteen teams used a kit look just once and for those regular readers and followers, there is no guessing which team provided the most of these….. lets take a closer look at these kits!
Arsenal – 2 Kits
Kicking off with Arsenal, the two kits they used just the once were in games 36 and 37 of the season, wearing alternative white shorts / socks with their Away kit and then in their final home game of the season they wore they 25 / 26 Home Kit.
Aston Villa – 10 Kits
Aston Villa who wore 13 Kits in total make up over 30% of the “One Kit Wonders” this season, with 10 Kits they wore just the single time! They had two Home Kit looks worn once, three Away Kit looks including a look they wore on the opening day of the season (sky blue shorts / socks) and the default Away look (with sky blue shorts), each of the four combinations of 3rd Kit usage was used just once and finally they wore their 25 / 26 Away Kit (with alternative white socks) in their final game of the season.
AFC Bournemouth – 2 Kits
Bournemouth were another team that used two different kits twice both kits were worn on visits to the Manchester clubs, with alternative purple shorts worn with their Away Kit against United and in Bournemouth’s final Away game of the season they used alternative red socks with their Home Kit playing City.
Brentford – 1 Kit
One of my Kit oddities of the season was the the appearance of Claret Socks with Brentford’s Away Kit 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…!
Chelsea – 1 Kit
Chelsea are the only team in this list that wore a default kit look just once, their 3rd kit was only used once in Premier League at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Everton – 2 Kits
Everton wore three different variations of their Away Kit, two of these were seen just once, with yellow socks at Manchester City and yellow shorts at Chelsea!
Leicester City – 2 Kits
Leicester City used variations of Home Kit (with 3rd socks) and 3rd Kit with Navy socks, and as Everton were used at Manchester City and Chelsea.
Liverpool – 1 Kit
Liverpool just used the one alternative variation this season and this was the use of white socks with their Away kit at Brentford, these were bespoke alternative socks for this kit.
Manchester United – 5 Kits
Manchester United used ten different looks this season, five of these looks were used just once… with one Home Kit look, two Away and two 3rd Kits, all looks used bespoke alternatives to each of the kits, no mash ups.
Newcastle United– 3 Kits
With Newcastle United being another team using ten kit variations through the season they were always going to have a couple of kit looks used just the once, however it was only their Away Kit looks (white shorts / socks and navy short / white socks) that make up their 24 / 25 kit set that were used just the once, the third single use kit was their 25 / 26 Home Kit which they debuted in the final game of the season.
This also means that the Toon Army also wore the most kit variations multiple times, with 7 different kit looks being worn more than once.
Nottingham Forest – 2 Kits
Nottingham Forest wore their 3rd Kit in four different kit combos with white and sky blue shorts and socks, two of these looks were used once, blue shorts and white socks at Aston Villa and white shorts / socks at Crystal Palace.
Tottenham Hotspur – 1 Kit
Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with both Home and Away Kit, the Away kit look was used just the once at Southampton, this was also one of two victories in their Away Kit in eight games in total it was used.
West Ham United – 1 Kit
On the final day of the season West Ham United used their Home Kit with alternative sky blue shorts, this was their 3rd different Home Kit look of the season but the only time these shorts were used.
There we have all the 33 Kits worn just once in the Premier League this season.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
If you are reading this then I am sure you have already seen my End of Season Kit Report for 2024 / 25 Premier League and taken the all the details here around Kit Usage this season and many of you will know about the Kit Stats that I share on my Socials through out the season.
I wanted to build on that and spend a little time with each of the 20 Teams and call out my favourite Kit Stat, Kit Tale, Story or general call out all the teams, although there are some teams with plenty to discuss regarding their kits, this will be my favourite observation per team.
Arsenal
7 Goalkeeper kits were worn by Arsenal, including the only “Mash Up” Goalkeeper Kit of the season, using the Yellow and Black versions of the Adidas Template to produce this wonderful look!
Aston Villa
The most kit variations used by a single team with 13 Kits in total but only 3 of these were worn more than once… Home Kit (Default Look) 23 times, Away with Home Shorts (All White) 3 times and Home with alternative claret shorts / socks was worn twice.
AFC Bournemouth
Alternative red socks worn at Manchester City in their final Away game of the season, this was the Club’s only variation look of their Home Kit this season.
Brentford
Brentford wore just one alternative variation from their three Kits this season and that was the appearance of Claret Socks 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…!
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points in a change kit in the Premier League this season, having scored 19 points in their Away Kit (worn in 14 games).
Chelsea
Chelsea only used their 3rd Kit once in the Premier League this season, worn at Brighton & Hove Albion. In fact this Kit was only worn twice domestically this season, both games against Brighton and within the same week (8th February, FA Cup and 14th February, Premier League).
Crystal Palace
Only variation of kit used by the club this season was in FA Cup Final, with their Home Kit paired with alternative white socks.
Everton
Everton wore their Away Kit in just four game this season but they did that using three different looks, with alternative yellow short and socks used.
Fulham
Fulham were another team that used a change kit just four time, this being their 3rd Kit, which they used twice with alternative white socks (although they do not appear to be Home socks as not carrying the FFC above the Adidas logo).
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town’s Home was the single most worn outfield kit look this season, being worn 30 times in total.
Leicester City
Leicester City used alternative navy socks with 3rd Kit at Chelsea, a look that worked really well and my favourite for The Foxes this season.
Liverpool
Liverpool used the Nike Goalkeeper template in four different colours, the only Nike supplied team to do so (five if you included the green kit which they also wore with and without the inverted Nike Swoosh logo)!
Manchester City
Another team to wear four Goalkeeper kits was Manchester City, their fourth kit was one that partially created via AI with design input from Ederson, Stefan Ortega, and Rico Lewis, this was part of the promotional advertising for a competition for fans to design their 3rd Kit for 2026 / 27 season!
Manchester United
Manchester United were one of three teams to hit double figures for their Kit Variations this season, each of their three kits used light coloured short variations (White – Home, Light Grey – Away, Off White – 3rd).
Newcastle United
Newcastle United were one of the teams with double digit Kit Variations, wearing 10 Kit looks in total including all possible combinations of their Away Kit with its default and alternative shorts / socks.
Nottingham Forest
Most points scored in 3rd Kit, 16 Points in the 10 games (and 4 Variations) worn.
Southampton
Wore change kits in 18 of the 19 Away games, wearing their Away Kit in 15 Games and 3rd Kit in 3 Games, their 3rd Kit was worn with alternative white shorts in all games rather than the default pink shorts.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur had two kit variations used this season, one with Home and one with Away but both used the same pair of alternative Navy Socks.
West Ham United
West Ham wore their Home socks with each of their 3 kits, as default with their Home Kit 22 times, twice with their Away Kit and 4 times with their 3rd Kit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves spent the final half of the season in their Home Kit, wearing it in the final 19 games. The last time they wore a change kit was 29th December and in total wore a change it just once in 24 games in six months, wearing alternative Old Gold Shorts on the road in the second half of the season in all but 1 game!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…

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…
