The Premier League has now reached 100 Kits for the 2023/24 Season, this was achieved on Saturday 2nd March with Brighton & Hove Albion wearing their 3rd Kit for the first time this season, this was the 261st game of the season, for comparison this was achieved on 30th April 2023 last seaon, in Matchweek 34!
So where have the 100 kits come from?
The way that I define it is a discintive look, so taking all the elements of the kit (Shirt / Shorts / Socks) and then reviewing how that look is made up and the differences in the kit looks, so a club’s default home kit would be one look and then if the home shirt is worn with default shorts but away kit socks, that becomes a new kit variation – Full definitions can be found here
Overview
- 20 – Home Kits
- 18 – Home Kit Variations
- 20 – Away Kits
- 17 – Away Kit Variations
- 14 – 3rd Kits
- 11 – 3rd Kit Variations
Looking at the Clubs in more detail, these kits are in order of their appearence this season and the number of times each kit has been used underneath it, this information is correct up to Tuesday 5th March.
Arsenal – 4 Kits in total, with an alternative red socks worn with home kit, also we have not yet seen default 3rd Kit, just worn with alternative white socks
Aston Villa – 6 Kits, some nice mash up alternatives here between Home and Away kits creating 5 different looks plus the 3rd Kit
AFC Bournemouth – 4 Kits, with the only alternative look being the Away worn with navy socks
Brentford – 4 Kits, another team with 4 kits and the alternative kit here, being the 3rd Kit again worn with navy socks
Brighton & Hove Albion – 6 Kits in total, with 3 variations of Away kit and of course the 100th Kit of the season with the 3rd kit (last season’s Away)… also worth noting that all 3 kits have been worn with white shorts!
Burnley – 3 Kits, one of two teams to only wear Home, Away and 3rd Kits with no variations
Chelsea – The fourth team with 4 kits, the variation here is the alternative blue socks with the home kit, a classic alternative Chelsea look
Crystal Palace – 5 Kits, there are some Kit Mash Ups used here, with Away socks being used with 3rd Kit and Home Socks with Away Kit
Everton – Another team with 5 Kits, with alternative Home and Away looks used so far this season
Fulham – 4 Kits, and like their West London Neighbours the alternative being with their Home Kit, this season with alternative white socks
Liverpool – 3 Kits, the other team with just Home, Away and 3rd Kits
Luton Town – 7 Kits, the Mash Up Kings of the Premier League using elements of Home / Away / 3rd kits to create all the kit looks seen this season
Manchester City – 3 Kits, as it stands the only team not to use their 3rd kit this season, having used alternative socks with their Away kit to create their 3rd kit look of the season so far
Manchester United – 11 Kits, the most used in Premier League this season.. 6 Home Kits used 3 different types of black socks, as well 3 different Away looks and 2 different 3rd kits, we are still to see the default 3rd kit, so more kits variations are possible!
Newcastle United – 7 Kits, 2 versions of Home and Away kits plus 3 different 3rd kits looks, making the joint second highest number of kit varaitions this season so far
Nottingham Forest – 6 Kits in total, a nice symmetry about the kits here, Two Home, Two Away and Two 3rd Kits for the kits worn.
Sheffield United – 5 Kits, with red shorts and socks both being used with Home and Away shirts, also another team that we have yet to see their default 3rd kit
Tottenham Hotspur – 5 Kits, with Home and Away kits having mash up ability giving two additional looks
West Ham United – 4 Kits, an alternative Away kit with Sky Blue shorts providing the additional kit look here
Wolverhampton Wanderers – The seventh and final team with 4 kits, alternative “Old Gold” shorts being used twice so far this season
As mentioned the 100th Kit worn was Brighton & Hove Albion’s use of their 3rd Kit with white shorts against Fulham on 2nd March 2023.
Kit Grid – Up to 5th March, this shows what the fixtures were for this season so far!
One Final look, at when the Kits were worn… this view shows you at which match the new kit look / variation was first used, for example… AFC Bournemouth wore their Home Kit in their first game, Away Kit in their 2nd game and 3rd Kit in their 4th game..!
