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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have worn alternative shorts for four times in their last six games, all of these four games have been away from home and have not worn their Home Kit with black shorts in an away game since Vítor Pereira took over on 19th December, is this an initiative from the Manager?

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!

Premier League: Matchweek 16 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

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

Premier League: Matchweek 9 Kit Review

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

The Premier League has now completed Matchweek 9, just under a quarter of the way through the season and this weekend also saw the return of Friday Night Football for the first time since Matchweek 1.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 9 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 58 (+5 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 55 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were five new Kit looks this Matchweek..

AFC Bournemouth used their 3rd Kit for the first time this season at Aston Villa.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore a change kit in The Premier League for the first time this season, wearing their Away kit at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fulham wore alternative black socks with their Home Kit for the first different variation of their Home kit in 24/25.

Manchester United wore their 3rd Kit in it’s 3rd different look of the season, this time with alternative charcoal socks to match the shorts.

Liverpool wore their Away kit for the first time in the League this season having previously worn it in the Champions League.

The two new goalkeeper kits on show

  • Aston Villa – Blue Adidas Template
  • Manchester United – Green Adidas Trefoil

Kit Highlights

This weekend was the first use of the Premier League “winter ball”, the yellow version of the Nike ball, it was also the first weekend the teams donned the “Poppy” on their shirts, which will be auctioned off for relevant charities by the clubs.

Manchester United have now worn 5 different Kit Variations in just 9 games, wearing a different Kit look in each of their 5 away games, they are also keeping this up with their Goalkeeper Kits, wearing 5 different Goalkeeper kits including two version of the “Adidas Trefoil” template, but yet still to wear the black version they are selling!

EDIT: Another thing to notice here is that the socks with this keeper kit are not matching, these appear to be the standard green Adidas socks (notice the logo and the lime green detailing) rather than the Adidas Originals logo, which would likely be in white. (Thanks to Darren who called this out in the comments below).

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between West Ham United and Manchester United, I do enjoy seeing this Manchester United 3rd kit in action, and with the alternative socks this weekend might just be my favourite look… paired with a classic West Ham look, just a nice Kit 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

  • Fulham – Home, alternative black socks
  • Manchester United – 3rd, alternative charcoal socks

Kit Grid – Up to 28th October

Kit News

Arsenal are the next team to launch their Originals collection for this season after Manchester United and Newcastle United, the collection has a shirt that is being referred a “retro third” collection, which is based on the Home Shirt used between 1991 and 1993 but in navy / lilac sleeves.

It could be argued “Tailored by Umbro” has made a return, with a minor update to Michail Antonio’s West Ham United Home shirt, the round collar has been adapted by the manufacturer after the player was cutting the collar for comfort.

Premier League: Matchweek 6 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

The Premier League hits Matchweek 6 and all teams have played home and away three times now, so it is time to take a deeper look into the kits worn this weekend.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, with all 60 Kits now being confirmed

Matchweek 6 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 47 (+3 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 47 (+3 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new Kits seen this Matchweek..

Manchester City used alternative white socks for the first time this season in the League.

West Ham United another team in a variation this week, this one was their first outing in their Away Kit but was used with White (Home) Socks.

Aston Villa used their Away Kit for the second time in this season but this was the first in it’s default look.

The 3 new goalkeeper kits on show and 2 of them from The Merseyside Clubs.

  • Everton – Pink
  • Liverpool – Purple
  • AFC Bournemouth – White

Kit Highlights

West Ham United have become the first team to wear 4 Kit Variations this season, with Away used this weekend, 2 Home Kit looks and a 3rd Kit appearance, making it 4 Kits in 6 Games!

Everton and Jordan Pickford wore an alternative goalkeeper kit for the first time this season, with the use of their 3rd choice pink keeper’s kit against Crystal Palace having worn a green kit for the previous 5 games.

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 Grid – Up to 1st October

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.
