The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 20 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 86 (+3 new Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 68 (+2 new Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

Newcastle United wore their Away Kit with alternative white shorts

Two new Goalkeeper Kit seen this weekend:

  • Manchester United – Green Adidas Trefoil Template with default socks
  • Nottingham Forest – Red Adidas Template

Kit Highlights

Newcastle United wore their 8th Kit Variation of the season, the most in the Premier League so far in 2024 / 25. This was their 3rd different Away Kit look.

Manchester United wore their 7th different Goalkeeper Kit look of the season (20 games), this was due to the default Adidas Trefoil socks being worn with the kit, in it’s previous use it was worn with standard green template socks!

Everton were the only Away team to where their Home Kit this weekend, the nine other teams in change kits!

With Leicester City and Nottingham Forest wearing their Away Kits for the first time, that leaves three teams who are yet to use one of their three designated Kits from this season in Premier League, Brighton & Hove Albion (3rd), Chelsea (3rd) and Fulham (3rd).

Nottingham Forest have now worn four different kit variations in their last four games, with 3rd, Home, Home with red shorts and Away being worn, and this also goes back to five in six games with all sky blue 3rd look being used in the game at Manchester United.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, The Spurs home kit has really grown on me this season and Newcastle in their wonderful Away kit is always a good thing for me!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 11 Home Kits, 5 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits

There were four variations seen over these fixtures.

  • Newcastle United – Away with Alternative white shorts
  • Chelsea – Away with alternative socks, 4th time used

  • Manchester United – 3rd with alternative shorts, 3rd time used

Premier League: Matchweek 16 Kit Review

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
  • West Ham United – 3rd with Home socks

Kit Grid – Up to 17th December

Premier League: Matchweek 9 Kit Review

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

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.

Premier League: Matchweek 5 Kit Review

The Premier League is now in full swing for the 2024/25 Season and the first European Club games have happened in the last week, so it is time to take a more in depth look at 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 5 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 44 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 44 (+4 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were 2 new Kits seen this Matchweek..

Chelsea wore their Away Kit in it’s default look with Blue Socks for the first time this season at West Ham United

Manchester United wore their 3rd Kit, this was with alternative shorts and was the first “Trefoil” Adidas Logo to be used since the 1992/93 Season (Arsenal Away).

There was also 4 new Goalkeeper Kits on show this weekend

  • Manchester United – Fluro Yellow
  • Tottenham Hotspur – Orange
  • West Ham United – Pink
  • Wolverhampton Wanderers – Pink

Kit Highlights

Manchester United have now worn 4 different Goalkeeper Kits in their opening 5 games of the season, with this “Fluorescent Yellow” kit, this was an unexpected Kit, with a Black version of this kit being advertised with the 3rd Kit (Trefoil Logo), so likely we will see a 5th version at some point this season!

Interesting choice of Kit by Brentford for their visit to Tottenham Hotspur, their 3rd navy sleeves as well as Spurs having Navy Sleeves, deemed as no clash… maybe with VAR in place sleeve clashes are less of issue when it comes to team’s kits!

Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers are still the two teams who have worn just one kit this season so far, Wolves did wear an alternative Goalkeeper Kit this week for the first time though!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United, the two kits work so well together, one full of design detail and one simple in it’s aesthetic, so a great combo in my view.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits and 3 Away and 3 3rd Kits in action.

Again, variations are not really something we have seen so far this season, with just one this week and only the 3rd of the season so far!

  • Manchester United – 3rd with “off” white shorts

Kit Grid – Up to 23rd September

Kit News

No firm news this week, there are starting to be some reports of future kit details and designs but as always we will only report when these things are confirmed by the clubs themselves.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back after next weekend’s fixtures.

Premier League: Matchweek 4 Kit Review

The Premier League is back after the first International Break of the season and Matchweek 4 is completed, let’s take some time to look into the Kits worn this weekend!

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

All 60 Kits have now been released, we have even seen a 61st, more on that below….!

Matchweek 4 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 42 (+7 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 40 (+6 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were 7 new Kits seen this Matchweek..

Manchester United were in a change kit for the first time this season, using their Away Kit.

Leicester City in their 3rd Kit.

Brentford in their 3rd Kit.

Everton in their 3rd Kit.

Newcastle United in the Away Kit.

Alternative socks for both West Ham (Home Kit) and Chelsea (Away Kit) both in alternative looks for the first time.

There was also 6 new Goalkeeper Kits on show this weekend

  • Arsenal – Pink
  • AFC Bournemouth – Blue
  • Leicester City – Black
  • Manchester City – Light Orange
  • Manchester United – Green
  • Southampton – Green

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

  • West Ham United – Home / Blue Socks
  • Chelsea – Away / Light Orange Socks

Kit Grid – Up to 16th September

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.

Premier League: Matchweek 1 Kit Review

Here we go again…

The 2024 / 25 Premier League Season has now kicked off and just like last season, I will be taking a more in depth look into the Kits each Matchweek.

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

We have seen 53 out of 60 Kits released so far… with just 7 Teams left to release their 3rd Kits.

Matchweek 1 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 20
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 20

New Kits this Matchweek

Of course all kits this week are being used for the first time this season, more details will appear in this section as we move through the season and new kit looks / variations are used.

Kit Highlights

There was just the one “Kit Mash” up on show, Aston Villa who launched their Away Kit the day before their game at West Ham, went with pairing their new kit with their Home Socks to avoid a clash with West Ham who are in White Shorts and Socks this season.

Chelsea started their second consecutive season with no front of shirt sponsor, no agreement was in place for the deadline to add a sponsor, so just as last season it will be a few weeks before we see any changes here.

Arsenal started the season in an unexpected Goalkeeper Kit, having previously advised that they would use the yellow and pink versions of the current Adidas Tiro 24 template, as well as the plain Black Adidas Orginals shirt as a 3rd Option, it was the Black Tiro 24 that was used in the opening game… could be an interesting season for Keeper Kits at The Emirates, with rumours of a 5th keeper look potentially being used this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester United and Fulham, and its mainly related to those shorts… their design and look is one of my favourite kit details of this season, so seeing two team in this look was great to see in action in the opening game of the season.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits and 5 Away, with no 3rd Kits in action.

There was just the one Kit variations used in this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa, Away Kit with Home Socks

Kit Grid – Up to 20th August

Kit News

Watch this space for upcoming kit news, still a few 3rd Kits to released and a couple of potential 4th Kits, so we will take a look at those here as we move through the season as well as other Kit related news to Premier League teams.

A reminder you can find details of the 7 Different Kit Manufacturers used in the Premier League this season (along with the rest of The EFL Clubs), here.

That is this Premier League Matchweek Kit Review, 10 games down… 370 to go!!

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and Matchweek 2 Review will be published after next weekend’s games.

Premier League: Top Trumps 2023/24

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.

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…
