Tottenham Hotspur wore their Away Kit for the 2nd time this season and in both instances mashed up the kit with their white home socks.

Brentford, Everton, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest continue to wear change kits in all their Away games so far this season (3 games).

Coventry City wore a Home Kit with pink detailing to support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, see below for a full shirt they are releasing. I have not counted this a seperate kit as the overall design is the same as their regular home kit.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. The Forest Away Kit this season is a lovely look but one I am not too sure we will see much of, so it was nice to see it action action Palace who are in white as first choice colours this season.

Three teams wore change kits for the first time this weekend, Chelsea, Liverpool and Hull City.

Arsenal wore their 4th different Goalkeeper Kit of the season, wearing the Grey Adidas Template for the first time, this is registered as their first choice Goalkeeper ths season.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Newcastle United and Hull City, the Newcastle home kit is one of my favourite kits for the season and paired up with Hull’s 3rd kit (in its debut) was as nice match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 4 Away, 2 Third Kits and 1 Special Kit in action.

There were two Kit Variations used in this Matchweek

Aston Villa – Home with alternative claret socks

AFC Bournemouth have launched a dedicated European Kit to celebrate their first ever venture in European competitions, they received a lot of critism for their sponsor size / colour for their domestic home kit, something the club have addressed and made a commitment to improve next season, click here for more details.

This kit was likely already in production after these complaints so no changes could be made!

We now have a bit of break, with International Football taking centre stage for the next two weeks and Premier League Returns on weekend of 10th October 2026, but stay tuned for new articles during this time.

Hull City broke their run of wearing the same kits (both outfield and goalkeeper) in all games when their goalkeeper wore an alternative kit for the first time this season, the pink kit was worn against Chelsea.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Coventry City and Brighton & Hove Albion, Brighton debuted their 3rd for this season, and the match up with the wonderful Coventry kit worked well.

The kit was debuted in Carabao Cup game at Sunderland on 8th September.

The revamped Champions League format is now in it’s third season, and we will continue to review the kits worn in each Matchweek, much like the Premier League Kit Reviews.

And here we go…. just as we have seen in the previous two season, the first round of fixtures were played over three days, 8th to 10th September 2026, a week earlier due to the change in the Autumn International Fixture schedule.

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

This gives 103 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to the missing 3rd Kits as well as 4th Kits / Cup Kits that we are likely to see in use over the coming months!

Match 1 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 36

New Kits this Matchweek

As the first week of the Competition, all 36 kits are being used for the first time!

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa have given us several kit looks in various competitions over the past couple of season, and they kicked off another Champions League campaign with a new look, they wore their 3rd Kit with alternative white shorts and socks against Club Brugge.

Inter Milan sported a sponsor free version of their Home Kit against Real Madrid, this is due the Spanish Laws which do not allow gambling sponsorship in this way, the result was a popular one amoungst Kit Lovers and general football fans alike.

One of those rare sights in the football kit world is a Villarreal in an Away Kit, but that is what we saw this week when they came up against Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal wore a Kit look that I am very fond of, when they wore alternative red shorts this week at Napoli, the first time this look has been used since 2022.

Shakthar Donesk gave us one of the more different looking mash ups this week, wearing their Away Kit (light blue shirt with pink detailing and white shorts), with black 3rd kit socks which are black / orange… so plenty going on here.

Manchester United returned to the Champions League for the first time in 3 years and first time since the format change, and they used their classic European first choice look of their Home Kit with white socks.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Barcelona and Feyenoord, the Barcelona shirt is one of their best in recent years (in my humble opionion), so seeing it action paired with a nice Feyenoord Away kit gave us a nice balance of overall kits!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

26 Home Kits
8 Away Kits
2 3rd Kits

Kit Variations seen this week.

Aston Villa – 3rd with alternative white shorts & socks
Arsenal – Home with alternative red shorts
Galatasaray – Home with Away (white) shorts
Shakhtar Donesk – Away with 3rd (black) socks
Bayern Munich – Home with alternative red socks

There is a bit of break now with the Champions League, with Match 2 of this season’s competition coming after the extended International Break on 13th / 14th October.

EFL: 2026/27, Kit Round up: Vol.1

Sep 8, 2026Posted in EFLTagged Championship, EFL, England, Football, Football Kits, Kit Geek, Kit Log, Kits, League One, League Two, News, Premier League, Soccer, sports6 Comments

Something new I want to start doing this season is a sem-regular look at the EFL and the Kit Usage within Championship, League One and League Two.

Think of this a lighter version of the Premier League Matchweek Kit Reviews which will be published every month or so (looking at approximately 5 or 6 games per volume). In this first Volume, we are looking at the kits worn between the start of the season (15th August) through to the 5th round of fixtures but to Monday 7th September.

So far this season we have seen:

Championship – 56 Kits
League One – 53 Kits
League Two – 52 Kits

Championship

Kit Overview – 70 out of the 72 Kits have been released, with Birmingham City and Burnley to confirm their 3rd Kits.

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 56

Kit Grid, up to 7th September.

Kit Highlights

Burnley are the only team that worn have one a single kit look so far in the Championship so far this season, however they have had a couple of different sponsor looks in that time, after terminating their original sponsorship the day before the League kicked off (having worn it in the Carabao Cup the week before). They announced their new sponsor Vertu Motors. It appears the first outing a patch was used to cover the original sponsor before newly printed shirts were produced, the club also offered to replace or refund supporters with new shirts.

Charlton Athletic visited local rivals West Ham United on 22nd August and used an interesting Kit “Mash Up”, they wore their Away Kit for the first time but used black socks to complete the look, these socks are not part of any outfield kit this season and appear to Reebok teamwear socks.

Queen’s Park Rangers wore their 3rd Kit at Home against Middlesbrough on 5th Septmeber, this was for an initative with their sponsor and Kit Aid where supporters could trade in old shirts for their all black 3rd shirt for free with the old shirts being used by Kit Aid by recycling them across the world.

League One – Kit Overview

Kit Overview – 67 Kits out of 72 released, with 5 3rd Teams still waiting to launch 3rd Kits.

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 53

Kit Grid, up to 8th September

Kit Highlights

Bromley gave us a wonderful mash up in their game against Sheffield Wednesday on 29th August, using their Away shirt with Home shorts and socks, this look is one of my favoruite kit looks in football, red / black stripes with white shorts and socks.

Leyton Orient have used the most kit looks in EFL so far this season, with 4 different variations used in their opening 5 games, with Home, Away and 3rd kits being used, the 4th look was a mash up of Away and 3rd socks in their game against Luton Town on 4th September.

Bradford City and Leicester City remain the only teams in League One to use a single kit (Home) look so far this season.

League Two

Kit Overview – 64 Kits out 72 released. Accrington Stanley to confirm if they are also using last season’s 3rd kit or launching a new Away. 7 other teams to confirm their 3rd Kit.

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 52

Kit Grid, up to 6th September.

Kit Highlights

Tranmere Rovers gave us the rare sight nowadays of an outfield player in goal but due to them playing in a mash up of their Away with Home shorts against Port Vale on 22nd August it meant that we saw three different kit elements in play, with Goalkeeper Shirt, Home Shorts and Away socks being used.

One to keep an eye on this season is Shrewsbury Town, who for their 140th Anniversary are wearing Navy Blue kit as their home kit, with their traditiona amber and blue being used as their Away Kit this season…

Three teams, Bristol Rovers, Chesterfield and Fleetwood Town remaining the only teams to wore a single kit look so far this season.

EFL Kit News

There have been two round of the Carabao Cup (EFL run competition).

Round 1 (and Preliminary Round)

Round 2

Round 3 is being played of the next two weeks (8th / 9th / 15th / 16th / 17th September), expect updates on those rounds in Volume 2 of EFL Kit Review.

Episode 41 of The Football Kit Podcast was released in August and it’s a EFL Special where we take a deep dive into this season’s kits and pick some of our favourite’s and some we are not so keen on, Chief Football Writer of The I, Daniel Storey our guest in this Episode, which you can find here.

Hull City and Liverpool remain the only two teams to wear the same kit in their opening three games, however Hull continue to use just the one goalkeeper kit where Liverpool have now worn different goalkeeper looks in their three games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Hull City and Aston Villa, Hull City in one of the kits of the season and Villa in a wonderful tri-colour looking 3rd kit look, mixing the sky blue, claret and white for this look.

Five teams wore the same kit for Matchweek 2 as the opening fixtures of the season, AFC Bournemouth, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Hull City and Liverpool, with Coventry City and Hull City playing each other.

There were even less Goalkeeper Kits seen over both weekend, with just Fulham, Hull City and Sunderland wearing the same keeper kit, this means Hull City are the only team to wear the same kits (outfield and goalkeeper) over the opening two games.

Brighton & Hove Albion gave us the first of what could be a number of mash ups this season with their Home and Away kits, wearing Away Kit with Home socks for a white / white / blue kit variation.

One thing we wanted to keep an eye on was the Liverpool goalkeeper sock situation, last week using white socks (alternative 3rd kit socks), this weekend’s Home game against Nottingham Forest saw a return to the standard emerald green socks.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, the Newcastle United Away kit is a nice look this season, and worn with alternative white shorts gave us a nice white v navy balanced match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 6 Away and 2 Third Kit in action.

There was four Kit variations used in this Matchweek

Nottingham Forest – 3rd with alternative white shorts & socks
Newcastle United – Away with alternative white shorts
Brighton & Hove Albion – Away with (blue) Home socks
Ipswich Town – Away with alternative “ecru” socks

Kit Grid – Up to 31st August

Kit News

There were four new Kit releases this week, with Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest all launching their 3rd Kts for this season!

Chelsea have started each of the last three seasons with no front of shirt sponsorship before ending the season in the final weeks with different sponsors, this season it’ll be just one week with no sponsor as they annouce US Crypto Company Circle Internet Group, Inc as their primary sponsor this season. Nice to see the sponsor in yellow to match the detailing in their Home Shirt.

And we are back!!

The 2026/27 Premier League Season has now kicked off and for the fourth season in a row, I will be taking a more in depth look into the Kits each Matchweek, along with any relevant Premier League Kit News!

The opening weekend gave us games across the whole weekend, kicking off on Friday 21st August to Monday 24th August 2026.

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, watch this space for those updates.

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

The season kicked off on Friday 21st August with reigning champions Arsenal kicking off against newly promoted Coventry City, Arsenal wore a combination of their Home Kit carryiing the regular Adidas Logo and their Away Goalkeeper kit which has the Adidas Trefoil logo!

Tottenham Hotspur provided the first Kit “Mash Up” of the season, wearing their Home Socks (white) with their Away Kit, you can see the THFC Monogram on the back of the socks… Teams at Brentford often produce alternative looks and we have kicked off the season in the same vein.

An interesting change to the Liverpool Goalkeeper kit in this opening game at Newcastle United, white socks were used (appear to change socks from Liverpool’s 3rd Kit), was it just the clash of green and black Newcastle socks or given that the Outfield and Goalkeeper kits have similar looks I wonder if we will see white socks used to support red/green colourblindness in fans, supporters and viewers…. one to keep a look out for as we move through the season!

Hull City returned to Premier League this season, and in doing so means we have now seen Oxen Kits in the Top Flight for the first time, during the close season we were lucky enough to be able to Interview Oxen CEO Lee Jenkinson for The Football Kit Podcast, you can listen to that Episode here which included plenty of chat about this Hull City Kit.

Aston Villa were another team that went for an alternative look to kick off the season, using alternative white shorts and socks with their Away kit, the socks so the banded detail nicely match in the shirts collar and cuffs.

There was a nice tribute from Newcastle United and Liverpool, who both wore “Keegan 7” as part of their warm up shirts, Kevin Keegan who passed away in July played for both clubs wore his iconic number 7 in tribute.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Arsenal and Coventry City, it was great seeing Coventry kicking off this Premier League season in their retro inspired Home Kit (one of the best in the League this season in my eyes) and paired with Arsenal’s Home Kit gave us a nice looking match up to start the season.
