Kit Highlights
There are just two teams have just worn a single kit look in the five games so far, both from Germany – Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt
The game between Ajax and Benfica was a game that gave us plenty of talking points in terms of kits. Firstly, Ajax were the Home Team and wore their 3rd Kit, the reason given for this was the lack of Kit Options from Benfica (who have a light grey Away Kit and white 3rd Kit).
This was also the 4th Kit Look Ajax have used so far in the competition (joint highest) and was the first alternative look worn by Benfica.
Two teams wore “European” Away Kits for the first time in the Champions League. Union Saint-Gilloise wore a plain white shirt (their domestic Away contains a map of the area in the body of the shirt) and Napoli wore an All White Away, with their domestic Away being cream in colour.
Newcastle United wore a change kit for the first time in Champions League this season, using their “Trefoil” 3rd Kit against Olympique Marseille.
Athletic Club wore their Away Kit at Slavia Prague, this was their 4th different Kit Look so far this season in the competition, the joint highest from a club.
It was 4th Kit v 3rd Kit, when Tottenham Hotspur visited PSG, who debuted their 4th Kit for this season (something we have seen them use in past few seasons in The Champions League). PSG are the first team to wear four distinct kits in the competition so far.
AS Monaco wore a different Kit variation for the first time this season, however it was still their Home Kit but paired with alternative shorts and socks, so red shorts and white socks, the opposite of their default look.
Bayern Munich wore their 3rd Kit for the second time in the competition, however this time with alternative green socks, rather than the default light gold / cream socks, this is the fourth Kit Look used so far.
There are eight teams that have now worn four kit looks in the opening five games, Galatasaray and Sporting CP (who used four in four games), Ajax, Athletic Club, Bayern Munich and PSG all mentioned above, with the other two teams Inter Milan (who wore white socks with their Home Kit) and Union Saint-Gilloise (European Away) making up the eight clubs.
My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal, the Spanish team are not one for changing their kit but against Dortmund was one of times when it was needed, so the Kit Match up looked good in action.
