Matchweek 37, the penultimate week of the season has now been completed. These fixtures being the reverse games from Matchweek 4.

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 37

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 109 (no new kits)
Goalkeeper Kits – 60 (no new kits)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were no new kits on show this Matchweek, which is no surprise… we are waiting to see if we will have any 2024/25 kits on show in the final round of fixtures this season.

Kit Highlights

Brentford won for the first time this season in their Away Kit, this was the 7th time the kit was worn this season with 1 draw and 5 defeats in the previous 6 outings this season… the Kit was alao worn 6 times in Premier League last season with no victories, so it looks like in it’s last usage in its 2 year life cycle it was finally worn in victory.

Brighton & Hove Albion wore their 3rd Kit for just the second time this season (last season’s Away Kit) both occasions have been with alternative white shorts.

Liverpool remain unbeaten in the League in their Away Kit, playing 7 times with 3 wins and 4 draws.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester United and Arsenal, an all Adidas affair and seeing the Arsenal Kit on show for probably the final time is reason enough to be my favourite kit match of the week, a modern classic in my eyes!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 5 Away Kit and 3 3rd Kit in action.

There were 2 Kit variations used in this Matchweek

Luton Town, Away Kit with Home shorts & socks, the 4th time this look has been used
Brighton & Hove Albion in 3rd Kit with white shorts, 2nd time

Kit Grid – Up to 14th May 2024

Kit News

Burnley have annouced their new kit partnership with Castore, as previously reported Castore have taken over the licence to supply kits to a number of British Clubs from Umbro, so this appears to be the first of these changes.

The club announced it was a multi-year deal with Castore starting from 2024/25 Season, full details can be found on the club’s site and it’s offical annoucement here.

It has been reported that Chelsea have missed the deadline in confirming their front of shirt sponsorship for their 2024/25 kits. This means that the initial launch of their new kits are likely to be blank much like this season where they only confirmed “Infinite Athlete” once the season had kicked off… one to keep an eye on over the next few weeks.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek I will be back next week with the final weekly review and of course the big one, the full season report…!

Matchweek 36 has now been completed, and we are that stage of the season where most teams have just one more Home Game Each.. so a chance of new kits on show in the coming weeks (more on that below). The fixtures from this weekend are a mix of games from Matchweek 7 (7 games from there) and Matchweek 2 (3 games from there).. the fixture computer must of had a funny turn when coming this round of games!

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

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

Fulham, in 3rd Kit with alternative pink shorts & socks, 2nd time this season
Nottingham Forest, 3rd Kit with alternative orange socks
Aston Villa, Home Kit with alternative claret shorts & socks, 4th time seen this season
Manchester United in 3rd Kit with white socks, the 7th time used

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.

The Midweek Fixtures taking place on 23rd to 25th April 2024 are all fixtures from Matchweek 29, this was due to the FA Cup Quarter-Finals, and given that over half of MW29 fixtures were taking place this midweek, a Part II of that Matchweek was needed as a special round up…!

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 29 Fixtures (Part II)

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 107 (+1 from Matchweek 34)
Goalkeeper Kits – 58 (No change from Matchweek 34)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was one new kit and it was the final kit of the 60 Premier League Kits to be used this season, with Manchester City in their 3rd Kit for the first time in the League this season.

Kit Highlights

My favourite Kit Match Up of the remain Matchweek 29 Fixtures was the game between Manchester United and Sheffield United, a nice and clean Kit Match up, pleasing on the eye!

Kit Stats

Looking at Matchweek 29 as a whole we have seen 13 Home Kits, 6 Away Kits and 1 3rd Kit in action for the four games in this Matchweek.

There were a total of 2 Kit variations used in this Matchweek (all 10 fixtures)

Tottenham Hotspur in Away with Home Socks, 3rd time this season (From originial fixtures)

Kit News

Some interesting Kit News coming out of Liverpool this week, it has been reported that Adidas will be returning to be Kit Manufacturer for third time from the 2025/26 Season in an initial Five Year Deal, if true this would mean next season will be the last with Kits provided by Nike.

Adidas previously supplied the Liverpool Kits between 1985 & 1996 and then between 2006 & 2012… we await offical communication but so far this has gone down very will with Fans and Kit Lovers alike, full details can be found here…. (Image Credit to @TheShirtUnion)

Premier League: Matchweek 27 Kit Review

Mar 5, 2024Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged Brighton, England, EPL, Football, Football Kits, Kit Geek, Kit Log, Kits, Manchester City, Manchester United, Premier League, Soccer, sports, Wolves5 Comments

Matchweek 27 is now completed, time to take a deeper look into the kits of the weekend and a special weekend for Kit Reviews as we hit 100 Kits of the season in the Premier League. This round of fixtures being the reverse games of Matchweek 10

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.

Matchweek 27 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 100 (+1 from Matchweek 26)
Goalkeeper Kits – 58 (No change from Matchweek 26)

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.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 2 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek

There was there two Kit Variations on show this week.

Brighton & Hove Albion in their 3rd Kit with White Shorts
Manchester United in Home Kit with alternative black shorts, the 2nd time this short and (default) socks combination has been used

Kit Grid – Up to 4th March 2024

Premier League: Matchweek 26 Kit Review

Feb 27, 2024Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged Arsenal, England, EPL, Football, Football Kits, Fulham, Kit Geek, Kit Log, Kits, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Premier League, Soccer, sports5 Comments

The first domestic cup of the season has been completed this weekend, with Liverpool lifting the Carabao Cup against Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday 25th February, due to this game it meant this is a slightly different look to the fixtures, with Liverpool playing Luton Town on Wednesday 21st February and the game between Cheslea and Tottenham Hotspur has yet to be arranged so expect to see that game towards the latter weeks of the season. However we are now two thirds of the way through the season with this round of fixtures being the reverse games of Matchweek 11

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.

Matchweek 26 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 99 (+1 from Matchweek 25)
Goalkeeper Kits – 58 (No change from Matchweek 25)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was just the one new kit on show this weekend.

Nottingham Forest used their Away Kit against Aston Villa, the shirt was paired with alternative white shorts and socks… this is the 99th Kit worn in the Premier League this season!

Kit Highlights

Manchester United “sock watch” continues and I happy to report that the default home socks have been used for the 2nd Home game in a row, so it appears the issues with their socks have now been resolved!

Staying at Old Trafford, Fulham recorded their first victory of the season whilst not wearing their default Home Kit, so far this season they have worn their Home Kit with alternative white socks 5 times and both Away and 3rd kits twice, so this their first victory not in their default Home Kit with black shorts and socks.

Brentford continued their losing streak in their away kit this season, with 4 losses in its 4 appearences, as many of you will know this was also last season’s away and it did not fair much better there with 3 draws and 3 losses in it’s 6 uses… will this be the last time we see this kit in action?

My favourite Kit Match Up of this weekend was again a difficult one to choose with no real stand out fixture, I have gone for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield United, the use of The Blades alternative red shorts and socks is something I have enjoyed in its two appearences this season and paired with the Old Gold and Black of Wolves works well!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 11 Home Kits, 5 Away Kits and x 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek (9 Games)

There was there six Kit Variations on show this week, the joint highest so far this season (and still one fixture to play which is also likely to have Tottenham in Home Kit Variation against Chelsea)

Luton Town, in Away Kit with Home shorts, the 2nd time this look has been used this season
Nottingham Forest in Away with alternative white shorts & socks
Everton in Away with alternative salmon shorts & socks, 2nd time this season
Fulham in Home with white socks, 5th time this look has been used
Newcastle United in Home with black socks, 4th time this season
Sheffield United in Home with alternative red shorts and socks for 2nd time

Premier League: Matchweek 24 Kit Review

Feb 13, 2024Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged Aston Villa, England, EPL, Football, Football Kits, Kit Geek, Kit Log, Kits, Manchester United, Premier League, Sheffield United, Soccer, sports5 Comments

Matchweek 24 is another quickly followed round with the reverse fixtures are from Matchweek 19 which were the fixtures that of “Boxing Day” round of games, just six weeks ago. Another querk of these games is that this also means that due to their meeting in the FA Cup 3rd Round and its replay it will be the fourth time that Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers have met since then!

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.

Matchweek 24 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 97 (+2 from Matchweek 23)
Goalkeeper Kits – 58 (No change from Matchweek 23)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were two new kits on show in this Matchweek,

Newcastle United wore their default 3rd Kit for the first time, it is the third different look for this kit but the first time as it was intended with Navy shorts and white socks!

Manchester United wore their 3rd kit in its second different look in the Premier League this season, with alternative red shorts.. although already seen this season in The Champions League this was the first time this look was used in League and the first time Red Shorts have been used by The Red Devils since 1956/57 season – details can be found here at Musuem of Jerseys!

Kit Highlights

Sheffield United recorded their first win of the season in a change kit, with their 3-1 at Luton Town on Saturday 10th February.

Manchester United have now worn 11 Kit variations this season in their 24 games so far! They have used six different Home Kit looks….

With their Change Kits, they have three Different Away Kit and now two different 3rd Kits!

Brentford were the only team this Matchweek to wear their Home Kit in an Away game. Interestingly when they met Wolverhampton Wanderers in their recent FA Cup 3rd Round Reply on 16th January, they wore their 3rd kit for that fixture but doned their Home Kit just a few weeks later.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this week’s games was a tough one this week, with no real stand outs but I have given it to Aston Villa’s game against Manchester United, purely seeing Manchester United in red shorts in a domestic game for the first time for nearly 70 Years is worth remembering!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 10 Home Kits, 5 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek

There was just the one Kit Variation on show this week.

Manchester United in 3rd Kit with alternative red shorts

The fixtures from Matchweek 23 may ring some bells for some of you, as they are the repeat fixtures from Matchweek 18 which were the fixtures the weekend before Christmas, this also means that due to their meeting in the FA Cup 3rd Round it will be the third time that Liverpool and Arsenal have met in the last six weeks.

Kits Worn in Total – 95 (+1 from Matchweek 22)
Goalkeeper Kits – 58 (No change from Matchweek 22)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was just the one new kit look on show through this weekend.

Luton Town’s “Eight Goal Thriller” at Newcastle United saw The Hatters in a new look for the season, combining Home shirts and socks with Away shorts, their 7th overall kit look of the season but the first time they have mashed up their home kit for different look!

Kit Highlights

There is only one place to start… Manchester United’s “Sock Watch”, their home game against West Ham United gave us the return of the default Home Socks for the 2023/24 Home Kit, the first time they have been worn at Home since the opening game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers, so not seen since the second game of the season at Tottenham Hotspur, so have Adidas fixed the rumour issue with the socks that the players complained about, lets hope so as they do elevate the overall kit with their design!

Wolverhampton Wanderers were in their Away Kit for the second time in three games, and for only the third time this season in total.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this week’s games could only be the game between Manchester United and West Ham United, with Manchester United’s Home Kit looking how it should with the return of the socks, combined with a classic White Away Shirt of West Ham, doning alternative shorts for nice overall Kit Look!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek

There were three Kit Variation on show this week.

Fulham in their Home Kit with white socks, the 4th time this look has been used in The League
Luton Town’s new Home Kit Mash up with Away shorts
West Ham United using alternative sky blue shorts with their away for the 2nd time

Premier League: Matchweek 21 Kit Review

Matchweek 21 is a unique Matchweek in the Premier League season, with the fixtures being split over two weekends to give each of the teams a mini “mid-season” winter break, there was five fixture played over the weekend of 12th to 14th January and the remaining five fixtures on 20th to 22nd January.

As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.

Matchweek 21 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 91 (+2 from Matchweek 20)
Goalkeeper Kits – 57 (No Change from Matchweek 20)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were two new kit look on show through these fixtures.

Crystal Palace have worn their 3rd twice already this season, including the opening fixture back in August, however this is the first time that the kit has been worn in default look of all black, with the black socks getting the debut outing!

Nottingham Forest used their 3rd Kit with bespoke alternative orange shorts and socks for the first time this season in their game against Brentford, the overall look worked well with amount of orange in the shirt… a nice alternative and opens up more opportunities for mix and matching with the default navy blue shorts and socks.

Kit Highlights

Manchester United “Sock Watch”, it was the 2023 Adidas Teamwear socks again in the home game against Tottenham Hotspur, this seems to be the go to sock now for The Red Devils…

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore their away kit for only the second time this season and the first time since the third game of the season back in August against Everton, this also means they have worn Home, Away and 3rd Kits in their last three games!

My favourite Kit Match Up of this week was the match up between Brentford and Nottingham Forest, the alternative look against the classic Brentford kit worked well for me, I have seen comments that considered this to be a kit clash but I think there is enough destinction between the light and dark shorts and socks and in the shirts that this worked well under the lights of Gtech Community Stadium!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek

There were four Kit Variation on show this week.

Luton Town, Away Kit with Home Shorts and Socks, this is the 3rd time this look has been used
Manchester United’s again in Black Teamwear Socks (with updated Adidas Logo), the 8th time they have been worn
Aston Villa, Home Kit with alternative claret shorts and socks, the 2nd time for this look
Nottingham Forest’s 3rd Kit with alternative shorts and socks (see above)

Kit Grid – Up to 23rd January 2024

Kit News

It is being widely reported that Aston Villa have signed “Major” Deal with Adidas, replacing Castore from next season. Aston Villa have been supplied by the many kit manufacturers over the years, however this would be the first time that they have worn the “Three Stripes” of Adidas and will be the second club to move from Castore to Adidas with Newcastle United also making that change from 2024/25 Season – Image from @TheShirtUnion

Manchester City have released a “Year of the Dragon” shirt to celebrate the Chinese New Year and it has been reported that this kit will be worn by both Men and Women’s teams at some point this season, with the kit having its own designed nameset I wonder if it will be a cup game that we see this kit, however with the Men away at Tottenham Hotspur in the 4th Round, its not likely to be that game.

Another interesting story that was being report at the end of last week was the potential introduction of “4th” Kits from 2024/25 season. It is not clear if this will be for every team but the reports suggested that one of Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea will have a 4th Kit available for regular use and not seen as a “Special Kit”.

So what we have seen with Crystal Palace and Arsenal this season may become the norm in future season within Premier League!

Arsenal wore their 3rd for the first in the League, however it was worn with alternative white socks which is a variation that we have previoulsy seen this season in The Champions League when they played Sevilla.

Kit Highlights

Manchester United have now worn 10 different kit variations / looks in 20 Premier League game in total. These are made up six different Home Kits, three away kit looks and just the one 3rd kit – this also means they have worn has many different kit looks as they have wins in The League.

The six Home Kit looks used…

The four Change Kits…

My favourite Kit Match Up of this week was the match up between Manchester City and Sheffield United, regular readers will know that I do enjoy an alternative Kit Look and this Sheffield United change up with red shorts and socks is great, as mentioned above something very 90s about the look and works well in contrast to Manchester City’s Home Kit.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek

New Kits this Matchweek

There were no new outfield kits on show this week, this is the first time this season that we have had no new kit looks in a Matchweek.

However, there was one new Goalkeeper kit, with Brighton & Hove Albion using the yellow version of their goalkeeper kit template (last season’s Nike Keeper Template), which also means the three goalkeeper kits used by Brighton this season are the same three kits used last season by the club (Black / Orange / Yellow).

Kit Highlights

Sheffield United wore their home kit away from Brammall Lane for the first time this season when they visited Chelsea on 16th December.

There were 15 Teams in their default Home Kit this matchweek, this is the highest number of default Home Kits on show in one week this season so far and with the abandoned game between AFC Bournemouth and Luton Town, this meant only three teams were in change kits this weekend…. Fulham (Away Kit), Aston Villa (3rd Kit), Manchester United (3rd Kit / Alternative Socks).

My favourite Kit Match Up of this week was at Anfield, with Liverpool playing Manchester United, with an all red versus all white look, there is something very classic looking about this Manchester United kit and although being used with alternative white socks, the overall match up looks somewhat classic in terms of colours and shirt design!
