Premier League: 2024 / 25, My Favourite Kit Observation by Team

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!

Kit Highlights

Liverpool and Southampton both used their 4th Goalkeeper Kit variations of the season (in just 7 games). Southampton have now used Green, Orange, light orange and now Purple of the Puma template, with Liverpool using Black, Green, Purple and now Yellow.

The Liverpool Goalkeeper Kit was the standard keeper template from Nike this season, however it did not use the rotated Nike “Tick” as seen on their 3rd Kit this season, thanks to our friend Jim for calling this detail out this weekend.

Newcastle United and Southampton continue to wear changes kits in all their Away games this season, with Southampton in their Away Kit in all of these games, Newcastle have used 3 different kit looks in their 4 Away games.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester City and Fulham, two kits that worked just well together and Fulham in Red / Black just works as a change kit!

Kit Stats

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

There was just the variations seen this weekend, mentioned above as they used for the first time

  • Newcastle United – 3rd with Alternative shorts and socks

Kit News

It is being reported that Liverpool had already signed a new kit deal, returning to Adidas for a 3rd time, there is not much detail shared as yet but suggestions are that there will be a formal annoucement in early 2025, ready for the 2025/26 season and will initially be for 5 years up to 2030.

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 2023/24 Championship season teams wore 85 Kits, this was a decrease in the number kits compared to last season where 99 Kits were worn, this is the joint with League One with the fewest number of Kit Variations seen this season. Ironically the only team with no 3rd Kit, just Home and Away had the most variations used.

The single most worn Kit in the League was Norwich City, who wore their Home Kit in 41 of the 46 League games.

Despite being the only club in the Championship with no 3rd Kit, Queen’s Park Rangers used the most kit looks in the league this season, which included 5 different Home Kit Looks. This does include their 2024/24 Home Kit which they debuted in their final Home game of the season, but they did use their 23/24 Home Kit in four different variations across 32 games, using all possible combinations of blue / white shorts and socks.

A theme seen within The Championship was the use of Change Kit / Alternative Socks to create new looks, QPR as seen above but also Birmingham City (Away Socks), Plymouth Argyle (Away), Stoke City (Alternative Red Socks), Swansea City (3rd) and West Brom Albion (3rd).

There were only three Away variations worn by Championship clubs, with Leeds United, Plymouth Argyle and Southampton all doning alternative socks (Plymouth using Home Socks) during the season. Southampton and Plymouth also using alternative socks in both fixtures between the clubs.

I want to call out Hull City Kits this season, for me they have delivered the perfect three kit looks for them this season and probably my favourite set of Kits across the English Leagues, they used their Home Kit 26 times, Away Kit 18 times including wearing it once at Home in their final Home game of the season, their 3rd was worn just twice, shame!

There were three “Special Kits” on show in the 2023/24 Season…

Bristol City in a 1974 Heritage Kit

Preston North End in a Sir Tom Finney Special Kit

Swansea City in 30th Anniversary Kit of their first appearence at Wembley in Autoglass Trophy
