Matchweek 24 is another quickly followed round with the reverse fixtures are from Matchweek 19 which were the fixtures that of “Boxing Day” round of games, just six weeks ago. Another querk of these games is that this also means that due to their meeting in the FA Cup 3rd Round and its replay it will be the fourth time that Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers have met since then!
As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here
The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.
Matchweek 24 Fixtures

New Kits this Matchweek
There were two new kits on show in this Matchweek,
Newcastle United wore their default 3rd Kit for the first time, it is the third different look for this kit but the first time as it was intended with Navy shorts and white socks!
Manchester United wore their 3rd kit in its second different look in the Premier League this season, with alternative red shorts.. although already seen this season in The Champions League this was the first time this look was used in League and the first time Red Shorts have been used by The Red Devils since 1956/57 season – details can be found here at Musuem of Jerseys!
Kit Highlights
Sheffield United recorded their first win of the season in a change kit, with their 3-1 at Luton Town on Saturday 10th February.
Manchester United have now worn 11 Kit variations this season in their 24 games so far! They have used six different Home Kit looks….
With their Change Kits, they have three Different Away Kit and now two different 3rd Kits!
Brentford were the only team this Matchweek to wear their Home Kit in an Away game. Interestingly when they met Wolverhampton Wanderers in their recent FA Cup 3rd Round Reply on 16th January, they wore their 3rd kit for that fixture but doned their Home Kit just a few weeks later.
My favourite Kit Match Up of this week’s games was a tough one this week, with no real stand outs but I have given it to Aston Villa’s game against Manchester United, purely seeing Manchester United in red shorts in a domestic game for the first time for nearly 70 Years is worth remembering!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 10 Home Kits, 5 Away Kits and 3 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek
There was just the one Kit Variation on show this week.
- Manchester United in 3rd Kit with alternative red shorts
