And we are back!!

The 2025 / 26 Premier League Season has now kicked off and just like the last couple of seasons, I will be taking a more in depth look into the Kits each Matchweek, along with any relevant Premier League Kit News!

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

We have 53* out of 60 Kits released so far… with just 7 Teams left to officially release their final Kits (*Fulham 3rd Shorts and socks to be confirmed).

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

Chelsea start the season for a third time in a row with no front of shirt sponsor, however they do carry the “Club World Cup” Champions patch, which will be worn until the tournament is next played, likely to be in four years time.

There were just two kit variation used in these opening fixtures.

Fulham wore their magnificent neon green Away Kit (based on 1998 to 2000 Away Kit).

And Everton wore All Blue at Leeds United.

It did not take long to give us our first goalkeeper mash up of the season, with Newcastle United in the 2nd game of the weekend. Using their first choice keeper colours of blue, this was paired with white outfield socks (Home Alternative) to avoid the sock clash with Aston Villa.

More Goalkeeper Kit highlights from the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur went with last season’s template in their opening game, however it was not last season’s kit as this one had the inverted Nike Ticks (which was worn with 3rd Kits last season). One theory with this is a supply issue of the new goalkeeper kits, Pink and Blue versions of the new Nike Template.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Nottingham Forest and Brentford, one of the nicest Home Kits in Forest matched with Brentford’s lovely 3rd Kit gave us a great looking match!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 3 Away and 4 Third Kits in action.

There was just the two Kit variations used in this Matchweek

Fulham – Away with alternative neon green shorts / socks, all neon.
Everton – Home with alternative blue shorts, all blue

Kit Grid – Up to 19th 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.

In case you have missed it, it is not only the balls that change to Puma this season, the referee’s will also be donning Puma attire from now on. There will be four coloured shirts worn this season.
