Kit News

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”.

Matchweek 37 the penultimate round of games of this Premier League season is now completed, and half the clubs have now played their final home games of the season, including the final Premier League game at Goodison Park.

Due to the FA Cup Final and Manchester United / Tottenham Hotspur both competing in Europa League Final the games were played over five days (Friday to Tuesday). The games were the reverse matches from Matchweek 10 back in early November.

You can find last week’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 37 Fixtures

New Kits this Matchweek

Arsenal wore their 2025 / 26 Home Kit.

AFC Bournemouth wore alternative red socks with their Home Kit.

There was also a new Goalkeeper Kit, with Arsenal debuting their 2025 / 26 Kit.

Kit Highlights

Arsenal have now worn their 6th Kit look of the season but debuting their 2025 / 26 Home Kit and their 7th Goalkeeper Kit, this is joint highest amount of Goalkeeper Kits used in Premier League this season and their 2nd new Kit look in two games.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative shorts, for an all “Old Gold” look for the 9th Time, this is the most used alternative look in the Premier League this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Brentford and Fulham, two nice kits on show, likely the last time we will see this Brentford Home Kit which has been in use for two seasons and Fulham in 3rd Kit with Home socks, for a nice match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 16 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

Kit News

There have been a few official kit launches for next season, and we have seen these kits in action over these penultimate round of fixtures.

Manchester City’s Home Kit will feature a sash for the first time, something often seen in change kits over the years but will now adorn the Home Shirt.

Arsenal’s new Home Kit goes back to just red and white for classic look, the shirt also contains a repeating pattern using the Gothic “A” often seen used through out the club’s history.

Chelsea’s Home kit continues to their recent trend of adding a detailed pattern within the shirt, this one identified as one that “celebrates the city’s iconic architecture, with our classic royal blue paired with a new vibrant shade”. The kit does include some red / white flashes in the side panels that provide some change from recent season.

It’s not just new shirts getting some love this week, Brentford who’s deal with Umbro is ending in the coming weeks have come up with a unique way to use their remaining shirts. They are launching a limited run of bespoke shirts made by upcycling unused stock from the last four seasons’ Umbro football shirts. Created in collaboration with design platform (re)boot and ROW_____Z, the project aims to reduce textile waste and highlight sustainable fashion in football.

Each shirt is unique and handmade using parts of home, away and third kits worn during Brentford’s four Premier League seasons and available from the Club’s shop.

On Saturday 17th May 2025, the 143rd FA Cup Final was hosted at Wembley between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Crystal Palace lifted the Cup, their first major trophy win in their History.

A total of 745 teams entered the competition, with 124 teams competing from First Round onward. This was the first time in the competition’s history that there were no replays played from the First Round.

I am taking this opportunity to look back at this season’s competition and the Kits worn by the teams from the First Round.

First Round – 1st November to 4th November 2024

80 Teams kicked off the First Round of the FA Cup this season, 48 teams from League One and League Two and 32 Non-League Teams, with Horsham and Guiseley being the lowest ranked teams in the competition, playing in the 7th Tier of English Football.

Tamworth and Huddersfield Town provided an interesting Kit Match up, with a lot going on with both kits, my favourite match up of this round.

Shrewsbury Town wore a mash up of their Away Kit / Home shorts and socks, a look they did not use in their League One Campaign.

Another nice looking Kit Match up was the game between Woking and Cambridge United, Woking in their traditional white / red halved shirt, matched up against Cambridge’s wonderful 3rd kit!

Second Round – 29th November to 1st December 2024

40 Teams in the Second Round, with only 9 Non League Clubs remaining in the competition.

Wealdstone and Wycombe Wanderers Kit match up was a nice one, with Wycombe in their 3rd Kit, one of Hummel’s “Mexico” Templates.

There was a lot of Blue / Yellow on show when AFC Wimbledon hosted Dagenham & Redbridge. The National League side who won this game, played all games from the First to Third Round in their Away Kit.

I do have a soft spot for Red / Black Kits (I think its a love of AC Milan from the 80s / 90s), so Kettering Town’s Home Kit was great to see in action, and matched up with Doncaster Rover’s Away kit gave us a nice looking Kit Match up!

Third Round – 9th January to 14th January 2025

The FA Cup Third Round, one of the highlights of the English Football Calendar with teams from Premier League and Championship entering the competition, giving us a total of 64 Teams left to compete, there was just two Non-League teams left, with Tamworth and Dagenham & Redbridge.

Aston Villa used the FA Cup to wear their special 150th Anniversary Kit, a wonderful looking kit that was elegant in it’s simplicity, carry an original Club Crest and just player Numbers, a shame it was only used in this one game.

Arsenal used their “No More Red” special Charity Kit, their fourth year of wearing an all white kit to highlight their campaign against youth violence and knife crime.

Another team in a special kit was Accrington Stanley, who wore a one off kit for their trip to Anfield to play Liverpool.

A full Third Round Kit Review can found here

Fourth Round – 7th February to 11th February 2025

The Competition is now taking to take shape, with 32 teams left competing.

Coventry City wore a special “4th Kit” for their game against Ipswich Town, the kit was the same design / template as their Home Kit but in Navy with tonal crest, logo and sponsorship.

Chelsea used their 3rd Kit for the first time in a domestic game this season, it has only been used twice this season both games against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fifth Round – 28th February to 3rd March 2025

In the Fifth Round, 16 teams left with just 4 of those being outside the Premier League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers wore alternative “Old Gold” Shorts, they used this all “Old Gold” look in their FA Cup Games this season.

One of my favourite kit usages is when a team wears a “Tri-colour” kit, with all elements of the Kit being in different colours, so Manchester City against Plymouth Argyle produced a wonderful Kit Match up with both teams in “Tri-Colour” Kits.

Quarter-Finals – 29th March to 30th March 2025

Just eight teams left in the competition, with just Preston North End being a team from outside the Premier League.

Brighton & Hove Albion had an interesting Kit Choice, when wearing their Home Kit in this season’s competition, they wore alternative blue socks in each of it’s three appearances.

Every team in the Quarter-Finals wore their Home Kit.

Semi-Finals – 26th April to 27th April 2025

There was not a lot to talk about in terms of kit in the Semi-Finals.

Aston Villa wore all white, this is using the white home shorts (the default Away shorts are sky blue), they have used this look in all Competitions (Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League) this season.

One detail to call out is with Manchester City’s Kit, is their use of a non branded FA Cup Sleeve patch this season.

This has been an ongoing issue between the Club and FA regarding sponsorship, with FA Cup being sponsored by one of Manchester City’s sponsors biggest competitors and over recent seasons they have not worn any sleeve patch (which did carry a fine for the club) but it looks like an alternative has been found with this patch being worn.

Final – 17th May 2025

Crystal Palace wore alternative white socks in the final, a look they have not used as yet this season and one that I am sure will go down in history after their victory against Manchester City, this was their 3rd different Kit Look of their campaign.

And there we have it, the FA Cup 2024 / 25… congratulations to Crystal Palace once again!

The use of 17 Home Kits in this weekend’s fixtures was also the joint-highest in a single Matchweek this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Ipswich Town and Brentford, two teams in their Home Kits, a nice looking “Umbro Derby” as we get the end of the season.

Match 1 to Match 23

Match 24 to Match 46

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 Highlights and Summary

In 2024 / 25 Championship season teams wore 95 Kits, this was an increase on the number kits compared to last season where 85 Kits were worn, this is the joint with League One with the fewest number of Kit Variations seen this season with Luton Town using nine Kit Variations, 9.5% of the total Kits used in The Championship

The single most worn Kit in the League was Norwich City for the second season in a row, who wore their Home Kit in 39 of the 46 League games, however this was a reduction from last season having worn their Home Kit 41 times in 23 / 24 Season.

Luton Town were the Kit Lovers Team of the Championship, with a perfectly matched set of kits that was able to be mix and matched, providing nine different looks with some wonderful mash ups!

Plymouth Argyle were another team that made good use of their Kit Set, using 3rd Shorts (Black) and Away Socks (White) to provide alternative Home Kit Variations with white / black shorts and socks.

A theme seen within The Championship was the use of the Kit Set to create new looks, several teams used their Kit in this way, Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle above, there were other notable examples.

Watford made good use of their Black Away Kit shorts and socks, to keep kit looking very much to the club colours.

Preston mashed up their 3rd Kit (shirt) and Away (shorts and socks), to give a different Kit Look at Sheffield Wednesday but one that tonally worked perfectly.

Also Cardiff City, Coventry City, Millwall, Oxford United, Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke City and Swansea City, used another set of socks to create a different Kit Look, with most of these looks being used against Sheffield Wednesday!

Sheffield Wednesday’s Away Kit was an interesting story this season. When released it was shown with black / white socks, that were nice in their design, something a little different, however during the season we did not actually see these socks in action, rather plain white ones worn four times with their Away Kit (and used three times for an alternative Home Kit Look).

There were two “Special Kits” on show in the 2024 / 25 Season…

Hull City wore a special 120th Anniversary Kit against Cardiff City on 28th September.

Middlesbrough wore a “No more Red” Kit, which was a charity kit against Knife Crime, this was worn against Coventry City on 2nd November

Matchweek 34 of the Premier League was one of the more unusual ones of this season, due to the FA Cup Semi Finals at the weekend this Matchweek was played over 10 days between 22nd April and 1st May 2025. The games were the reverse matches from Matchweek 17 and saw Liverpool crowned as Premier League Champions for 2024 / 25 Season.

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa continue to be the club that keep on delivering this season in terms of kits, wearing their 12th Kit Variation in Premier League (34 games) and 13th overall (150th Anniversary Kit). This was their 4th different Home Kit Look, also having worn four Away and 3rd Kits this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Manchester City and Aston Villa, regular followers / readers will know that I have soft spot for contrasting sock colours, so both team in this look, as well as Aston Villa using another Kit Look was always a winner for me!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 4 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits

There were three Kit Variations used this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa – Home with claret shorts and white socks
  • Everton – Away with alternative yellow shorts

There was no new Premier League Kit News in the past week, the leaks for next season are coming in thick and fast, and I am sure we will see some confirmed before the end of the season!

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 32 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 103 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 71 (+1 New Kit this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was one new outfield Kit look this weekend.

Aston Villa in their 3rd Kit with alternative white shorts, they have worn this look in Champions League but this was first use in Premier League.

There was also a new Goalkeeper look used this weekend, it was a mash up of the Adidas Goalkeeper template worn by Arsenal.

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa are leading the rest of the Premier League, with their 11th Kit Variation of the season, having worn three Home Kit looks, four Away and four 3rd Kits and matches the 11 Kit Looks worn by Manchester United last season!

This was also their 5th different Kit look in their last 5 games!

Everton won their first game of the season in a Home Kit Variation, this was their 5th game in an alternative home kit look.

Arsenal used a mash up of their yellow and black Adidas Goalkeeper templates, this was their 6th different Goalkeeper Kit Look of the season, the 2nd highest behind Manchester United.

Manchester United are not having the greatest season on the pitch, however their defeat at Newcastle United was their first loss in an alternative Home Kit look, this was 5th game in alternative Home kit.

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Arsenal and Brentford, a nice looking match up on show and also resulted in a wonderful Goalkeeper Kit Mash up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits

There were four Kit Variations used this Matchweek

  • Everton – All Blue Home Kit, 4th time used this season
  • Aston Villa – 3rd Kit with alternative white shorts
  • West Ham United – 3rd Kit with white (Home) socks, 3rd time used
  • Manchester United – Home, with alternative white socks, 2nd time used

Premier League: Matchweek 31 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

The Premier League just has a one day break between the last game of Matchweek 30 and the start of Matchweek 31. All of the fixtures were the reverse matches from Matchweek 16

You can find last week’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 31 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 102 (+1 New Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 70 (No New Kit this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was one new Kit this weekend.

Nottingham Forest wore their 3rd Kit with alternative sky blue shorts and alternative white socks.

Kit Highlights

Nottingham Forest have now worn their 3rd Kit in three different variations with white / sky blue shorts and socks, this was their 6th Kit look of the season so far.

Leicester City gave a debut to 15 year old Jeremy Monga, the 2nd youngest player to appear in the Premier League and due the legalities of shirt sponsorship wore a sponsor-less shirt for his first senior appearance.

Although they ended relegated this weekend, Southampton actually suffered their first defeat in the Premier League this season in their 3rd Kit, wearing 3 times so far this season (all with alternative white shorts).

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Brentford and Chelsea, a sunny day in West London really helps these kits shine and the match up with both teams in their Home Kit worked well for me!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 1 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits

There were four Kit Variations used this Matchweek

  • Wolverhampton Wanderers – Home with alternative “Old Gold” shorts, 7th time used
  • Nottingham Forest – 3rd using both alternative sky blue shorts and white socks
  • Southampton – 3rd with alternative white shorts, 3rd time used
  • Manchester City – Home with alternative white socks, 5th time used

Kit Grid – Up to 8th April

Kit News

As there was only a day between Matchweeks, there was no new Premier League Kit News!
