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.
A reminder you can find details of the 9 Different Kit Manufacturers used in the Premier League this season (along with the rest of The EFL Clubs) – here
Any thoughts and comments please let me know over at my Socials…
The Heat Press returns for issue number 2 of it’s summer series looking at the kits released in English Football over the last few days, with 15 new kits launched since Issue 1.
A reminder that I will take a regular look at the Kits launched across the English Leagues and beyond, the discussion points and anything else Kit Related that comes up over these pre-season weeks.
I will only share those kits that have been officially released, as there are plenty of leaks that do the rounds but we will keep those official launches.
You will also find my Kit Overview illustrations for each of the four divisions which will used to document the Kit Usage of all 92 English Clubs.
Premier League – 14 / 60 Kits
New Kits:
Newcastle United, 3rd: The Adidas Trefoil logos are back for their 3rd Kits this season, and this is Newcastle’s first one, a kit that looks back to another Adidas kit from the past, with the use of blue with orange trim as with 1997 Away Kit. An interesting collar design, we wait to see what this looks like in action.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Home: Interesting use of stripes with the new Brighton Kit, with a change between the white and blue either side of the sponsor band, this kit appears to be paired with blue socks as first choice this season and also contains “Hyperturk” accent details, from the popular change kit used over 2 seasons between 2021 and 2023.
It also appears that The Seagulls will be keeping their now tradition of using the previous season’s away kit as the coming season’s 3rd Kit, the all yellow kit will be their 3rd kit this season!
Championship – 9 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Stoke City, Away: Return to one of their looks in the 90s, this striking purple kit will be the Away kit for Stoke City this season, the yellow detailing really works well with this kit and one I am looking forward to seeing in action.
Birmingham City, Home: It’s 150th Anniversary kit for Birmingham City this season, the shirt which is the same Nike Template as the England Home Kit will be blue with gold detailing, including a special gold club crest.
Oxford United, Home: The tagline for Oxford’s new kit is “Inspired by heritage” and this is certainly a classic looking shirt for the coming season.
League One – 21 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
AFC Wimbledon, Home, Away, 3rd: Lotto returns to English football with AFC Wimbledon launched all three shirts on the same day, delivering a nice looking Home shirt, with a simple but classic feel but some nice detailing in the shirt.
An interesting colour choice for AFC Wimbledon away kit, fluro green has been used in the past as alternative colour for The Dons but not paired with black, it’ll be interesting to see this kit in action.
The final offering is possible the best of the lot with the yellow 3rd Kit, the side panels of this shirt carrying the “lotto” logo is simply wonderful.
Huddersfield Town, Home: Another team that have change suppliers over the summer, Castore have delivered a nice looking kit, this kit celebrates 100 years since their 3 League Championship titles won in a row.
Exeter City, Home: Exeter City continue their partnership with Adidas, their last home kit was used for two seasons, it is yet to confirmed if this will also be used for two season. Nice take on the stripes with this shirt.
Barnsley, Home: Oxen are a Kit Manufacturer that come up with interesting design concepts, at first glance this appears to be a simple design, but a closer look you will see details in the shirt of Yorkshire rose, as well as side panels that take inspiration from some 90s shirt elements, also the Yorkshire rose detail is part of the short design!
Leyton Orient, Home: Following last season’s home kit was always going to be a tough ask, this is a solid effort, there are some side panel checked details within the shirt that makes it stand out from just a generic template.
League Two – 21 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
MK Dons, Home: Another club that has joined the Reebok return to English football, a little more gold detailing than we have seen over recent years, a solid start in terms of design.
Harrogate Town, Away: Plenty of neon on show for Harrogate Town on the road this coming season, with a “highlighter” blue away kit, trimmed with neon pink.
Tranmere Rovers, Home: The new kit from Mills see’s a return of the classic blue and green detailing with the Tranmere Rovers Home Kit, the shirt contains a blue pinstripe.
This week’s Kit News…..
Have you ever heard of kit design being launched, then pulled for design reasons, well this has happened with Ebbsfleet United’s new away kit from Admiral.. the statement on the club’s website..
“The design change is due to the impending release of a similar kit in the global market which was only brought to our attention after our initial, well-received kit launch, and it was suggested the design be altered”
Looks like there is more to come here, especially a kit coming soon with the Gulf Racing Colour Scheme.
Mansfield Town have announced their new kit partnership with Errea, described as a multi-year partnership, Mansfield become the 3rd club to move away from Castore for the upcoming season.
We got our first official look at the Adidas Trefoil Goalkeeper template for 2025 / 26 season, with Newcastle United launching their 3rd Kit this week with a yellow version of the template.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
The 2024 / 25 Premier League season ended with total of 113 different kits used by the 20 teams, you can find details of all of those kits in my in depth End of Season Kit Review, however of those 113 kits there was 33 kit looks that only got one appearance, these are our “One Kit Wonders”!
Thirteen teams used a kit look just once and for those regular readers and followers, there is no guessing which team provided the most of these….. lets take a closer look at these kits!
Arsenal – 2 Kits
Kicking off with Arsenal, the two kits they used just the once were in games 36 and 37 of the season, wearing alternative white shorts / socks with their Away kit and then in their final home game of the season they wore they 25 / 26 Home Kit.
Aston Villa – 10 Kits
Aston Villa who wore 13 Kits in total make up over 30% of the “One Kit Wonders” this season, with 10 Kits they wore just the single time! They had two Home Kit looks worn once, three Away Kit looks including a look they wore on the opening day of the season (sky blue shorts / socks) and the default Away look (with sky blue shorts), each of the four combinations of 3rd Kit usage was used just once and finally they wore their 25 / 26 Away Kit (with alternative white socks) in their final game of the season.
AFC Bournemouth – 2 Kits
Bournemouth were another team that used two different kits twice both kits were worn on visits to the Manchester clubs, with alternative purple shorts worn with their Away Kit against United and in Bournemouth’s final Away game of the season they used alternative red socks with their Home Kit playing City.
Brentford – 1 Kit
One of my Kit oddities of the season was the the appearance of Claret Socks with Brentford’s Away Kit at West Ham United. Initially it was believed that visitors had used a pair of change socks from their hosts but closer inspection shows that these were standard Umbro Teamwear socks, not from West Ham Kit room…!
Chelsea – 1 Kit
Chelsea are the only team in this list that wore a default kit look just once, their 3rd kit was only used once in Premier League at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Everton – 2 Kits
Everton wore three different variations of their Away Kit, two of these were seen just once, with yellow socks at Manchester City and yellow shorts at Chelsea!
Leicester City – 2 Kits
Leicester City used variations of Home Kit (with 3rd socks) and 3rd Kit with Navy socks, and as Everton were used at Manchester City and Chelsea.
Liverpool – 1 Kit
Liverpool just used the one alternative variation this season and this was the use of white socks with their Away kit at Brentford, these were bespoke alternative socks for this kit.
Manchester United – 5 Kits
Manchester United used ten different looks this season, five of these looks were used just once… with one Home Kit look, two Away and two 3rd Kits, all looks used bespoke alternatives to each of the kits, no mash ups.
Newcastle United– 3 Kits
With Newcastle United being another team using ten kit variations through the season they were always going to have a couple of kit looks used just the once, however it was only their Away Kit looks (white shorts / socks and navy short / white socks) that make up their 24 / 25 kit set that were used just the once, the third single use kit was their 25 / 26 Home Kit which they debuted in the final game of the season.
This also means that the Toon Army also wore the most kit variations multiple times, with 7 different kit looks being worn more than once.
Nottingham Forest – 2 Kits
Nottingham Forest wore their 3rd Kit in four different kit combos with white and sky blue shorts and socks, two of these looks were used once, blue shorts and white socks at Aston Villa and white shorts / socks at Crystal Palace.
Tottenham Hotspur – 1 Kit
Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with both Home and Away Kit, the Away kit look was used just the once at Southampton, this was also one of two victories in their Away Kit in eight games in total it was used.
West Ham United – 1 Kit
On the final day of the season West Ham United used their Home Kit with alternative sky blue shorts, this was their 3rd different Home Kit look of the season but the only time these shorts were used.
There we have all the 33 Kits worn just once in the Premier League this season.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
If you are reading this then I am sure you have already seen my End of Season Kit Report for 2024 / 25 Premier League and taken the all the details here around Kit Usage this season and many of you will know about the Kit Stats that I share on my Socials through out the season.
I wanted to build on that and spend a little time with each of the 20 Teams and call out my favourite Kit Stat, Kit Tale, Story or general call out all the teams, although there are some teams with plenty to discuss regarding their kits, this will be my favourite observation per team.
Arsenal
7 Goalkeeper kits were worn by Arsenal, including the only “Mash Up” Goalkeeper Kit of the season, using the Yellow and Black versions of the Adidas Template to produce this wonderful look!
Aston Villa
The most kit variations used by a single team with 13 Kits in total but only 3 of these were worn more than once… Home Kit (Default Look) 23 times, Away with Home Shorts (All White) 3 times and Home with alternative claret shorts / socks was worn twice.
AFC Bournemouth
Alternative red socks worn at Manchester City in their final Away game of the season, this was the Club’s only variation look of their Home Kit this season.
Brentford
Brentford wore just one alternative variation from their three Kits this season and that was the appearance of Claret Socks at West Ham United. Initially it was believed that visitors had used a pair of change socks from their hosts but closer inspection shows that these were standard Umbro Teamwear socks, not from West Ham Kit room…!
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points in a change kit in the Premier League this season, having scored 19 points in their Away Kit (worn in 14 games).
Chelsea
Chelsea only used their 3rd Kit once in the Premier League this season, worn at Brighton & Hove Albion. In fact this Kit was only worn twice domestically this season, both games against Brighton and within the same week (8th February, FA Cup and 14th February, Premier League).
Crystal Palace
Only variation of kit used by the club this season was in FA Cup Final, with their Home Kit paired with alternative white socks.
Everton
Everton wore their Away Kit in just four game this season but they did that using three different looks, with alternative yellow short and socks used.
Fulham
Fulham were another team that used a change kit just four time, this being their 3rd Kit, which they used twice with alternative white socks (although they do not appear to be Home socks as not carrying the FFC above the Adidas logo).
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town’s Home was the single most worn outfield kit look this season, being worn 30 times in total.
Leicester City
Leicester City used alternative navy socks with 3rd Kit at Chelsea, a look that worked really well and my favourite for The Foxes this season.
Liverpool
Liverpool used the Nike Goalkeeper template in four different colours, the only Nike supplied team to do so (five if you included the green kit which they also wore with and without the inverted Nike Swoosh logo)!
Manchester City
Another team to wear four Goalkeeper kits was Manchester City, their fourth kit was one that partially created via AI with design input from Ederson, Stefan Ortega, and Rico Lewis, this was part of the promotional advertising for a competition for fans to design their 3rd Kit for 2026 / 27 season!
Manchester United
Manchester United were one of three teams to hit double figures for their Kit Variations this season, each of their three kits used light coloured short variations (White – Home, Light Grey – Away, Off White – 3rd).
Newcastle United
Newcastle United were one of the teams with double digit Kit Variations, wearing 10 Kit looks in total including all possible combinations of their Away Kit with its default and alternative shorts / socks.
Nottingham Forest
Most points scored in 3rd Kit, 16 Points in the 10 games (and 4 Variations) worn.
Southampton
Wore change kits in 18 of the 19 Away games, wearing their Away Kit in 15 Games and 3rd Kit in 3 Games, their 3rd Kit was worn with alternative white shorts in all games rather than the default pink shorts.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur had two kit variations used this season, one with Home and one with Away but both used the same pair of alternative Navy Socks.
West Ham United
West Ham wore their Home socks with each of their 3 kits, as default with their Home Kit 22 times, twice with their Away Kit and 4 times with their 3rd Kit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves spent the final half of the season in their Home Kit, wearing it in the final 19 games. The last time they wore a change kit was 29th December and in total wore a change it just once in 24 games in six months, wearing alternative Old Gold Shorts on the road in the second half of the season in all but 1 game!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…

Match 1 to Match 19
Match 20 to Match 38
Kit Grid
Below is a graphic of what kits where worn against what teams, its one that I share on a weekly basis on my Twitter Account – @Kit_Geek
Kit Tables
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. Aston Villa and Manchester United’s four Home Kit variations are all included in the “Home Kit” Table and based on “Points per Game” used ratio.
Home Kits
No real surprises here, with Liverpool heading up the points per game table, although in comparison to last season three teams (including Liverpool) scored a better points per game average than 2.17 of this season. Liverpool also scored the most points with 63!
The three relegated teams all scored under a point per game!
Away Kits
Again, no surprises at the top of this table with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea heading the top 3 with the top 2 the only teams to average more than 2 points per game in their Away Kit.
Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points this season in their Away Kit, with 19 points, a win on the final day in this kit at Tottenham Hotspur meant they finished with more points than Crystal Palace.
There are some of the traditionally larger teams towards the bottom here, 11 teams in total averaged 1 point of less per game in their Away with Aston Villa and Manchester City both only averaging 1 point per game and further six teams scoring less than a point per game, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Southampton, who wore their Away Kit the most amount of times this season (15 games), only managed 1 win, 1 draw to score just 4 points in this kit this season.
3rd Kits
The 3rd Kit points per game table gave us Manchester City at the top with 2.4 points per game. Fulham in 2nd place and overall 5 teams scoring 2 points or more on average in their 3rd Kit.
Nottingham Forest scored the most points in their 3rd kit, with 16 point in it’s 10 uses (also the most worn 3rd Kit).
Chelsea (1 game) and Tottenham Hotspur (2 games) failed to score a point in their 3rd Kit and Brighton & Hove Albion did not use their 3rd (2023 / 24 Away Kit) at all this season.
Summary and Highlights
There was a slight increase in the number of kits worn this season from last year, with 113 Different Kits used compared to the 110 of 2023 / 24 season, however that does include the use of 3 kits from next season (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United) compared the 1 (Liverpool) from this time last year!
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 Aston Villa, they used an incredible 13 different Kit Looks this season, this is the most that have been used by a single team in a season since I have been keeping this records. They wore this season’s kits in 12 different looks and then debuted next season’s Away kit in their final game of the season.
The used their Home Kit in four different variations…
Away Kit in four different variations….
and 3rd Kit also in four different variations….
Manchester United used once less Kit Variation than last season but still managed to use 10 different looks this season, this was made up of four Home Kit looks…. and three looks for both Away and 3rd Kits.
Newcastle United’s first season back with Adidas, gave us ten different kit variations in the League this season, including four combinations of their wonderful Away Kit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers used alternative “Old Gold” shorts in nine games in total this season and all of these have taken place since they changed their Manager in December (is this Vítor Pereira’s preference on the road?) and have only worn a change Kit Once in 24 games, their final use of change kit was on 29th December 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur and ended up in their Home Kit in 34 of the 38 games.
The single most worn outfield kit look was Ipswich Town’s Home Kit which was worn 30 times this season.
Nottingham Forest used their 3rd Kit in four different looks this season, they also secured the most points in 3rd Kits, with 16 points won in it’s 10 games worn as the team qualified for European Football for the first time in 30 years.
One of interesting Kit Stories of the season was use of claret socks by Brentford when they played at West Ham United. Initially it was believed that visitors had used a pair of change socks from their hosts but closer inspection shows that these were standard Umbro Teamwear socks, not from West Ham Kit room…!
Southampton wore change kits in 18 of their 19 Away games this season, their only use of Home Kit away from St.Mary’s in the Premier League was their game at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 9th November (Matchweek 11).
Two other kits were also worn 30 times, these were the goalkeeper kits of Everton and Leicester City (both shades of green for the traditionalists out there).
Compared to last season, the Goalkeeper Kit Usage was very different with 72 different Goalkeeper kits used, this is an increase of 18% with 61 Kits used last season.
Both Arsenal and Manchester United wore 7 different Goalkeeper Kits this season.
Arsenal wore three of the standard Adidas Templates, two of their 3rd Kits (Adidas Trefoil), their new 2025 / 26 kit in their final Home game of the season and this wonderful Mash Up of their yellow and black keeper templates.
Manchester United’s 7 Goalkeeper Kits were made up of their three standard templates and they had use of three different 3rd Kit looks (Adidas Trefoil), their 7th look was their use of Green Adidas Trefoil Kit which was first used with the regular green template socks (one for the more eagle eyed Kit spotters out there).
Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Southampton all used four different Goalkeeper Kits this season, all using different looks with no mash ups.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Ipswich Town and West Ham United, The Hammers giving us an unexpected Kit look in the final game, and the last viewing of this Ipswich Town kit in the Premier League for nice overall match up.

Kit News
There have been a few official kit launches for next season of these final weeks of the season.
Aston Villa launched their 2025 / 26 Away Kit, Predominantly a black shirt, the design on the raglan shoulders is “inspired by the Bullring, one of the iconic landmarks on the skyline of Birmingham”. This is the first kit launch since Aston Villa have become one of Adidas’s top tier teams.
Newcastle United are another launching their New Home Kit, this one sees blue trim returning to home kit as an accent colour. The design takes inspiration from a “classic northern motif – the shepherd’s check – blending it seamlessly with our historic vertical stripes to create something fresh, and undeniably Newcastle”.

Along with the four Away Kits, they have worn two Home Kit and three different 3rd Kit looks to make up the nine kits worn in total!
Brentford’s socks have caused some interesting debate this weekend, with the Pink socks of their Away Kit deemed to clash with West Ham United’s white Home socks, so Claret socks were used and at first glance it can easily be assumed that these were West Ham Socks of their 3rd kit but closer inspection, the West Ham socks carry gold Umbro detailing and thanks to @JohnSpenge on “X” who spotted they are actually current Umbro Teamwear socks. An enjoyable Kit Tale from this season!
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Newcastle United, regular readers of these weekly round ups and followers will know that contrasting socks with kits are something that I am particularly found of, so this game with both teams in this look is always going to be a winner in my eyes!
