Both clubs also wore their new goalkeeper kits of 2026 / 27.

Kit Highlights

Manchester United wore their new Home Kit for the 2nd game in a row, not often seen when a club releases at new kit at the end of the season.

Liverpool using their new Home Kit, made 4 kit looks in the last 4 games, with 2 different Home Kits and 2 different Away Kit variations used in those 4 games.

Everton wore their Home Kit with alternative blue shorts for the 8th time Away from home this season, the most used kit variation in Premier League this season.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Aston Villa, Man Cty wearing their new Home Kit, which I think is quite a nice look, something a little and paired with All Claret look of Aston Villa, one of my favourite single kit looks of the season.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 2 Away and 3 Third Kits in action.

There were two Kit variation used in this Matchweek.

  • Aston Villa, Home in All Claret, 5th time used

Kit News

Manchester City launched their 2026 / 27 Home Kit, wita full gradient of sky blue and finished with a metallic monochrome crest, it is described as “Running through a full gradient of sky blue” and “not your typical home kit – it’s a nod to how far we’ve come and how much further we’re going”.

Crystal Palace annouced their new front of shirt sponsor, with open-source software platform Temporal agreeing a multi-year deal starting from 2026 / 27 season. This is another example of club moving away from a front of shirt betting sponsors.

Brighton & Hove Albion released their 125th Anniversay Shirt, which is based on their first ever colours. The club confirmed the Kit will be worn once, that willl be the home game closest to the anniversary of their first competitive fixture.

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.

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

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.

The Premier League is in it’s final month, and after these games clubs have just two round rounds of games to go. This Matchweek was played across three days from Saturday 9th May and Monday 11th May 2026. 

They are the return fixtures of the round of fixtures played in Matchweek 7, played back on 3rd / 5th October.

You can find last round of fixtures report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 36 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 105 (+2 New Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 72 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

Aston Villa in 3rd Kit with alternative purple socks.

Manchester United in 3rd Kit with alternative yellow shorts.

Manchester United also wore the yellow Adidas Trefoil Goalkeeper template for the first time.

Kit Highlights

This week saw the first new kit looks since Matchweek 30, on 15th March 2026, nearly 2 months ago.

Aston Villa wore their 10th Kit Variation of the season, and by using their 3rd Kit with alternative purple socks they completed all four possible kit looks with their 3rd Kit. They have now worn 3 Different Home and Away Kits and the 4 3rd Kits to make the 10 Kit looks.

Manchester United also made it 10 Kit Variations this season, to be joint highest with Aston Villa and just like Villa they done this by wearing their final possible Kit look with their 3rd Kit. Their 10 looks are also made up of 3 Home and Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits.

Manchester United also wore a new Goalkeeper Kit look in this game, the 5th overall Goalkeeper Kit used this season and the 2nd in Trefoil template.

Everton wore their Away Kit in it’s default look for just the 2nd time this season, the first time being in Matchweek 14 back on 2nd December.

Arsenal wore a chanage kit for the first time in 10 games, they wore their 3rd Kit with alternative dark red socks for the second time this season, it also means that all three of the Adidas Trefoil kits on show this weekend were in alternatives from their default looks.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Burnley and Aston Villa, regular readers and followers will know my love of a contrasting sock within a kit, so when Aston Villa wheeled out their 10th Kit look of the season with their 3rd Kit including purple socks, this was always going to be a winner, the match up with Burnley’s Home Kit works well.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 1 Away and 4 Third Kits in action.

There was the three Kit variation used in this Matchweek.

  • Aston Villa – 3rd with alternative purple socks
  • Manchester United – 3rd with alternative yellow shorts
  • Arsenal – 3rd with alternative dark red socks

Kit News

It appears we will be getting our first new kit launch of the 2026 / 27 season, with Manchester United teasing this on Monday 11th May, with launch on Thursday 14th May 2026.

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

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!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs wearing their Away Kit at Old Trafford is something although not common, we have seen before (2021 / 22 was the last time it was done), but using their 3rd Kit worked quite nicely.

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

Premier League: Matchweek 21, Kit Review

Posted in Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

The Premier League has now seen two rounds of games in the New Year and these were the final round of nine games in just over a six weeks, with these midweek fixtures played across three days on Tuesday 6th January and Thursday 8th January 2026.

They are the second set of return fixtures this season, with these previous games being played in Matchweek 3, played on the weekend of 30th / 31st August 2025.

You can find last round of fixtures report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 21 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 92 (+1 Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 66 (No New Kits this Matchweek)

There was one new kit looks on show these matches.

Manchester United wore their Away Kit in it’s default look for the first time this season.

Kit Highlights

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
  • Chelsea – Home, All Blue, 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 9th January

Kit News

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.
