Posted in Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

The Premier League is back after the final round of International Fixtures of 2025 with the 12th round of fixtures of the season, and this is the start of run of eight Matches over the next six weeks, with these games completed between Saturday 22nd November and Monday 24th November 2025.

You can find last week’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 12 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 73 (+1 Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 63 (No Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There was just the one new Kit on show this weekend.

West Ham United wore their Away Kit with alternative “Ecru” shorts.

Kit Highlights

West Ham United in their 5th Kit Variation of the season, this is the joint-second highest in Premier League this season (Aston Villa in 6, with Manchester United and Newcastle United also with 5).

Crystal Palace wore their Home Kit in an Away Game for the first time this season, this was their 6th Away game of the season, wearing their 3rd Kit in four games and Away once!

Brentford continue to wear change kits in all their Away games this season, wearing their Away for the 3rd time this season, having worn their 3rd kit in their other 3 Away games.

Chelsea wore their Away for the 2nd time this season and again with alternative shorts and socks, they have yet to wear this kit in it’s default look (“Ecru” shorts / Green socks) in any competition including the World Club Cup, which is 8 games in total.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Leeds United and Aston Villa, Villa in All Claret is one of my favourite kit looks, so when this is used it will always be one I keep an eye on!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 4 Away and 1 Third Kit in action.

There were four Kit variations used in this Matchweek.

  • Chelsea – Away, with alternative shorts / socks – 2nd time used
  • West Ham United – Away with alternative shorts
  • Aston Villa – Home, All Claret – 2nd time used
  • Everton – Home, All Blue – 2nd time used

Kit Grid – Up to 25th November

Kit News

The Chelsea front of shirt sponsorship has been an interesting topic over the past few seasons with them carrying no sponsor in the majority of the games over this period, however that appears to be changing in the coming days with rumours of a deal with Oracle (US Software company). It has been reported that sponsorship will start as quick as next with high profile games against Barcelona in Champions League and Liverpool in Premier League – full details can be found here via Footy Headlines

Premier League: Matchweek 9, Kit Review

Posted in General, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

The Premier League is approaching the quarter stage of the season and we are taking our usual look at the Kits worn this weekend, Friday 24th October to Sunday 26th October 2025.

You can find last week’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 9 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 66 (+3 Kit this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 59 (+3 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were three new kit looks on show this weekend.

West Ham United, in an all claret look for their Home Kit.

Liverpool wore their 3rd Kit with alternative white socks.

Manchester City wore their 3rd Kit for the first time.

There was also three new Goalkeeper Kits used this weekend:

  • Fulham – Orange Adidas Template
  • Brighton & Hove Albion – Yellow Nike Template
  • Crystal Palace – Grey Macron Template

Kit Highlights

Liverpool in their 4th Kit Variation of the season and their 2nd different look for their 3rd Kit and have yet to use the default look in Premier League (they have used in Champions League).

They also used the standard Adidas Goalkeeper kit (yellow template) rather than a Trefoil Goalkeeper Kit.

Crystal Palace continue to wear change kits in all of their away games this season, having worn their Gold Kit in four games and All White Kit in one game.

West Ham’s all claret look means they have worn four different kit looks in their last four games.

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Newcastle United and Fulham, Fulham’s 3rd Kit this season is an interesting look, and the all fluro green look worked well matched against Newcastle’s Home Kit.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 2 Away and 3 Third Kit in action.

There were three Kit variations used in this Matchweek, one Home, one Away and one 3rd.

  • West Ham United – Home, All Claret
  • Liverpool – 3rd, with alternative white socks
  • Fulham – Away, with alternative fluro green shorts & socks – 3rd time used.

Kit Grid – Up to 27th October

Kit News

The first “Winter Ball” from Puma was launched in the past week, the yellow ball will get it’s first use in weekend of 8th November, with the game between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur being the first game to use the ball.

The Adidas and Arsenal relationship continues to look to the past to offer supporters alternative equipment with the release a remake of the 1992/94 Home Shirt, the shirt is accompanied with a range of other products.

Premier League: Matchweek 5, Kit Review

Posted in Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

The Premier League is now starting to feel in full swing, we have just had our first week of European football and Matchweek 5 has been completed.

You can find last week’s report here

The Kit Overview for Premier League is below:

Matchweek 5 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 50 (+2 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 45 (+6 Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were 5 new Kit looks on show this Matchweek

Newcastle United wore their Away Kit with alternative white socks.

Aston Villa in their Away Kit with alternative white shorts.

There was also 5 new Goalkeeper Kits used this weekend:

  • Chelsea – Green Nike Template
  • Liverpool – Grey Adidas Template
  • Nottingham Forest – Orange Adidas Template
  • Tottenham Hotspur – Pink Nike Template
  • West Ham United – White / Black Shorts & Socks
  • Manchester City – Green Puma Template

Kit Highlights

Aston Villa and Newcastle United are leading the way in the number of kits used this season, both clubs wearing four kit variations in the opening five games.

Tottenham Hotspur wore their 4th different Goalkeeper look of the five games so far, rumours of delivery issues of their new kit at the start season meant they used last season’s yellow template in the first game of the season, and by using the pink version of the current Nike Goalkeeper selection meant they have used their three kits from this season now, so four kits used in total.

West Ham United wore their 3rd choice goalkeeper kit this weekend and its a rare sight nowadays, as its a kit with constrasting shorts and socks, rather than the single colour look that we normally see with Keepers!

My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Liverpool and Everton, two classic looking home kits for the Merseyside Rivals this season, so seeing them up against each other was a pleasing Kit Match up!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 5 Away and 1 Third Kit in action.

There were two Kit variations used in this Matchweek, both the new kits we saw used this weekend.

  • Aston Villa – Away, with alternative white shorts
  • Newcastle United – Away, with alternative white socks

Kit Grid – Up to 21st September

Premier League 2024 / 25: One Kit Wonders

Posted in Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

The 2024 / 25 Premier League season ended with total of 113 different kits used by the 20 teams, you can find details of all of those kits in my in depth End of Season Kit Review, however of those 113 kits there was 33 kit looks that only got one appearance, these are our “One Kit Wonders”!

Thirteen teams used a kit look just once and for those regular readers and followers, there is no guessing which team provided the most of these….. lets take a closer look at these kits!

Arsenal – 2 Kits

Kicking off with Arsenal, the two kits they used just the once were in games 36 and 37 of the season, wearing alternative white shorts / socks with their Away kit and then in their final home game of the season they wore they 25 / 26 Home Kit.

Aston Villa – 10 Kits

Aston Villa who wore 13 Kits in total make up over 30% of the “One Kit Wonders” this season, with 10 Kits they wore just the single time! They had two Home Kit looks worn once, three Away Kit looks including a look they wore on the opening day of the season (sky blue shorts / socks) and the default Away look (with sky blue shorts), each of the four combinations of 3rd Kit usage was used just once and finally they wore their 25 / 26 Away Kit (with alternative white socks) in their final game of the season.

AFC Bournemouth – 2 Kits

Bournemouth were another team that used two different kits twice both kits were worn on visits to the Manchester clubs, with alternative purple shorts worn with their Away Kit against United and in Bournemouth’s final Away game of the season they used alternative red socks with their Home Kit playing City.

Brentford – 1 Kit

One of my Kit oddities of the season was the the appearance of Claret Socks with Brentford’s Away Kit 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…!

Chelsea – 1 Kit

Chelsea are the only team in this list that wore a default kit look just once, their 3rd kit was only used once in Premier League at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Everton – 2 Kits

Everton wore three different variations of their Away Kit, two of these were seen just once, with yellow socks at Manchester City and yellow shorts at Chelsea!

Leicester City – 2 Kits

Leicester City used variations of Home Kit (with 3rd socks) and 3rd Kit with Navy socks, and as Everton were used at Manchester City and Chelsea.

Liverpool – 1 Kit

Liverpool just used the one alternative variation this season and this was the use of white socks with their Away kit at Brentford, these were bespoke alternative socks for this kit.

Manchester United – 5 Kits

Manchester United used ten different looks this season, five of these looks were used just once… with one Home Kit look, two Away and two 3rd Kits, all looks used bespoke alternatives to each of the kits, no mash ups.

Newcastle United – 3 Kits

With Newcastle United being another team using ten kit variations through the season they were always going to have a couple of kit looks used just the once, however it was only their Away Kit looks (white shorts / socks and navy short / white socks) that make up their 24 / 25 kit set that were used just the once, the third single use kit was their 25 / 26 Home Kit which they debuted in the final game of the season.

This also means that the Toon Army also wore the most kit variations multiple times, with 7 different kit looks being worn more than once.

Nottingham Forest – 2 Kits

Nottingham Forest wore their 3rd Kit in four different kit combos with white and sky blue shorts and socks, two of these looks were used once, blue shorts and white socks at Aston Villa and white shorts / socks at Crystal Palace.

Tottenham Hotspur – 1 Kit

Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with both Home and Away Kit, the Away kit look was used just the once at Southampton, this was also one of two victories in their Away Kit in eight games in total it was used.

West Ham United – 1 Kit

On the final day of the season West Ham United used their Home Kit with alternative sky blue shorts, this was their 3rd different Home Kit look of the season but the only time these shorts were used.

There we have all the 33 Kits worn just once in the Premier League this season.

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 9 Comments

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!

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”.

Everton and Jordan Pickford wore their first choice goalkeeper kit for the 20th time this season, in just 23 games (game at hand is next week), this is the most worn goalkeeper kit so far this season!

Crystal Palace wore their Away Kit for the 10th time this season and their victory at Manchester United means they have now won 15 points in the kit this season, the most points in an Away Kit!

My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Chelsea and West Ham United, it was a surprise to me to see West Ham use their Home Kit at Chelsea, changing socks to avoid that clash, a nice match up.

Premier League: Matchweek 16 Kit Review

Posted in General, Kit News, Premier League Kit LogTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

The Premier League has now completed Matchweek 16 and we are a week away from the start of Christmas Period of games and the halfway point of the season! Here is our regular look at the Kits worn in this weekend.

You can find last week’s report here

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Matchweek 16 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 77 (+4 Kits this Matchweek)
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 62 (No New Kits this Matchweek)

New Kits this Matchweek

There were four new Kit looks this Matchweek..

Aston Villa wore their 3rd Kit for the first time in Premier League this season, although they did use alternative white socks at Nottingham Forest. This is their 7th different kit variation of the season, the highest now in the League.

Crystal Palace used their 3rd Kit for the first time at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Tottenham Hotspur used alternative navy socks with their Away Kit, based on the white trim my guess would be these are alternative Home socks but created an interesting look at Southampton!

West Ham United were another team to change their socks up, this time with their 3rd Kit which they combined with Home socks.

Kit Highlights

Everton wore alternative blue shorts to create all blue look, this was 3rd time this look was used in 5 games.

Brentford lost for the first time this season in their Home Kit, the 10th game they have worn it but their loss at Chelsea was the first!

West Ham United wore Home socks with their 3rd Kit, this means they have worn these socks with all three kits this season in the League.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the Manchester Derby, tri-colour kits are one of my favourite kit things, so with Manchester City’s home already in this look and the Manchester United going for alternative shorts and socks, it was always going to be a winner in my eyes!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 16 Home Kits, 1 Away Kit and 3 3rd Kits

There were five variations seen over these fixtures.

  • Everton – Home Kit in All Blue, 3rd time used this season
  • Aston Villa – 3rd Kit with alternative white socks
  • Manchester United – Home Kit with alternative black shorts and white socks, 2nd time used
  • Tottenham Hotspur – Away with Navy socks
  • West Ham United – 3rd with Home socks

Kit Grid – Up to 17th December

Kit Highlights

West Ham United have become the first team to wear 4 Kit Variations this season, with Away used this weekend, 2 Home Kit looks and a 3rd Kit appearance, making it 4 Kits in 6 Games!

Everton and Jordan Pickford wore an alternative goalkeeper kit for the first time this season, with the use of their 3rd choice pink keeper’s kit against Crystal Palace having worn a green kit for the previous 5 games.

There are 6 Teams that have worn change kits in all of their Away games this season, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United and Southampton, with Brighton, Crystal Palace and Southampton wearing just their Away Kits in these games!

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Brentford and West Ham United, I do love a Kit Mash up, and seeing different elements of kits being used together, so seeing the Black Away Shirt and Shorts paired with Home Socks was always going to be popular with me, matched against the Brentford Kit just seemed to work well!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits and 5 Away Kits.

A couple of variations seen this weekend, both mentioned above as they used for the first time

  • Manchester City – Home with Alternative White Socks
  • West Ham United – Away with Home Socks (white)

Kit Grid – Up to 1st October

Kit News

Manchester United have launched their “George Best” Collection, inspired by their iconic player and winner of Ballon d’Or in 1968 and European Cup in the same year, the collection takes influence for the kit worn in that final at Wembley and includes a tracksuit jacket, trousers and a long sleeve shirt containing Best’s signature and the number 7 in the same style used on those kits.

Another team in the Adidas family also released a retro range this week, with Newcastle United launching of their “Originals” range. The shirt is a cracker, many fans and kit lovers expressing their preference to this shirt of the current Home Shirt.

Chelsea are rumoured to be close to reaching an agreement for their front of shirt sponsorship, the club are talks with three major Airlines, belived to be Qatar Airways, Riyahd Air and Turkish Airlines, with the deal expected to be annouced in the coming weeks. I would expect the new shirt sponsor will be debuted after the next International Break in October.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or at @Kit_Geek and I will be back later this week with Champions League, Match 2 and then after next weekend’s fixtures for Premier League.
