The Premier League is rapidly closing in the half way point of the season, and these were the fifth round games of eight within over a six week period, with these games completed between Saturday 13th December and Monday 15th December 2025.
There were two new kit looks on show this weekend.
Everton wore their Away Kit with alternative navy socks.
Aston Villa wore their 3rd Kit with alternative purple shorts and socks
Kit Highlights
All Away teams this week wore a change kit, with 6 Away Kits used and 4 3rd Kits. This is the first time this has happened since I started keeping Kit Records, from 2016 / 17 Season, so at least for 10 seasons!
Aston Villa wore their 7th Kit Variation of the season, this is the most by a team in Premier League, with 3 Home Kits, 2 Away and 2 3rd Kit looks used. It is 9 in total with variations used in Carabao Cup and Europa League not yet seen in the league.
Wolverhampton Wanderers wore a change kit for the 5th time this season (x3 Away / x2 3rd), this is more uses of change kits than they had in total last season (just 4).
My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Brentford and Leeds United, the two kits matching up worked well with both goods in contrast to each other.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 10 Home Kits, 6 Away and 4 Third Kits in action.
There were three Kit variations used in this Matchweek.
Everton – Away with alternative Navy Socks
Fulham – Away, all Fluro Green, 4th time used
Aston Villa – 3rd with alternative Purple shorts & socks.
Kit Grid – Up to 16th December
Kit News
AFC Bournemouth have announced that Vitality will become the club’s new front-of-shirt sponsor from the 2026 / 27 season. They have been a sponsor of the club for over 10 years, with Stadium being named “Vitality Stadium” since 2015. This is a multi-year partnership and the first of example of a club moving away from front of shirt betting sponsorship from next season.

The Premier League has now past the quarter stage of the season and we are taking our usual look at the Kits worn this weekend, Saturday 1st November to Monday 3rd November 2025.
There were three new kit looks on show this weekend.
Manchester United, 3rd Kit with alternative yellow socks.
Chelsea in their Home Kit with alternative blue socks.
Aston Villa in their 3rd Kit
There was also three new Goalkeeper Kits used this weekend:
Leeds United – Pink Adidas Template
Arsenal – Yellow Adidas Trefoil Template
Aston Villa – Black Adidas Trefoil Template
Kit Highlights
This weekend seven of the Away teams wore 3rd Kits, with only one Away Kit and two Home Kits on show, with Chelsea wearing an alternative look with blue socks.
Arsenal used their 6th different Goalkeeper Kit look of the season (10 games), wearing the yellow Trefoil Template, this was the 3rd different colour goalkeeper kit used in their 3rd Kits three outings and the 2nd different yellow goalkeeper kit used.
Wolverhampton Wanderers used their 3rd Kit for 3rd time this season, also having used their Away Kit once, this means they have worn change kits for as many times as they did in total last season in their opening 10 games of the season.
AFC Bournemouth lost their first game of the season in their Home Kit, this was the 8th game (out of 10) wearing the Kit winning five and drawing two of the first seven games using this look, they were also the only Away team to wear their default Home Kit this weekend.
My favourite “Kit Match Up” of the Matchweek was the game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, two nice looking kits and with Manchester United in contrasting socks (as regular readers will know one of my favourite kit looks), this was always going to be a winner this week.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 12 Home Kits, 1 Away and 7 Third Kit in action.
There were two Kit variations used in this Matchweek.
Manchester United – 3rd, with alternative yellow socks
Chelsea – Home, with alternative blue socks
Kit Grid – Up to 4th November
Kit News
There is was no significant Premier League Kit news this week.
Any thoughts and comments please let me know over at my Socials…
As we approach the end of June, teams are now starting to kick off their pre-season training and of the course the Club World Cup is still in full swing with the completion of the group stages, I thought it was time to dust off The Heat Press and take a look at some new kits….
To pass these summer weeks I will take a weekly (or maybe more) look at the Kits launched across the English Leagues and beyond, the discussion points and anything else Kit Related that comes up. I will only share those kits that have been officially released, as there are plenty of leaks that do the rounds but we will keep this official.
You will also find my Kit Overview illustrations for each of the four divisions.
Premier League – 11 / 60 Kits
New Kits:
Everton, Home: The first kit to be worn at The Hill Dickinson Stadium, which takes inspiration from the new stadium’s location on the banks of the River Mersey and shows a ‘wave’ that flows throughout the shirt. Blue socks will also return as first choice colour, the first time since 2014 / 15 season, although they were navy blue, this is time royal blue socks will be used in the kit’s default look since 2012 / 13.
Tottenham Hotspur, Away: Tottenham Hotspur have followed up their Home Kit, by launching their Away Kit, this is all black kit with a subtle checked pattern within both the shirt and shorts, the kit is being labeled as “In Darkness we Dare” which is a spin on the club’s motto “To do is to dare”. The first team in Premier League to launch Home and Away kits.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, Home: The second season with Sudu as manufacturer and it’s another classic looking Wolves kit, simple but effective, I like that they keep the Home Kits simple and it works well in my eyes, nice collar too and detailing within the shirt.
Championship – 6 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Preston North End, Away: A fairly standard offering from Castore in terms of the Home Kit, some nice details within the shirt which take inspiration from Deepdale. The talking point here is the sponsor, Spud Bros… but from my point of view, they are local company supporting their local team, so fair play to them, much more appealing than a betting company, so a win from this Kit Geek.
Millwall, Home: If you follow me on Social Media you will know that I’m a Millwall fan, so been waiting for this one, last season’s Home Kit was wonderful, one of my favourite Millwall kits of all time, so any kit this season will have some big shoes to fill in my eyes…! And they have delivered, a simple and clean look, something classical about this shirt with it’s central placement of logos, one happy Millwall Fan here.
West Bromwich Albion, Home: Macron 2nd season with WBA, an interesting collar and some additional detailing in the socks, which also contain a single stripe.
League One – 14 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Bradford City, Away: Bradford City launched their new Away Kit at the end of last week, and its light, almost metallic all blue look on the road this season, paired with a Pink 3rd Kit which was released at the end of last season! This kit also carries “UK City of Culture” detail on this shirt.
Northampton Town, 3rd Kit: Its the 3rd Kit first up for Northampton Town and another almost metallic futuristic look in League One, with aqua green, gray kit and detailed with neon yellow… a nice look, that works well for me.
Cardiff City, Home: New Balance remains as Cardiff’s kit manufacturer for a 4th season, and this season will see the club play in pinstripes with white shorts and blue socks!
League Two – 18 / 72 Kits
New Kits:
Shrewsbury Town, Home: A nice looking kit, based on one worn by the club between 1983 and 1985. Some nice details within the shirt and the red trim is something that I particularly like and works for me. Oxen delivering some nice designs again.
Cambridge United, Away: Umbro and Cambridge United are a partnership that have consistently delivered and this season looks to continue that trend, with new Home Kit launched last week and the Away proving to be a classic look that will work perfectly as a change kit!
Cambridge United, 3rd: The full kit set is completed for Cambridge, with this black kit which is paired with gold shorts and black socks, a nice balance from Home Kit.
This week’s Kit News…..
Chelsea wore their 2025 / 26 Away Kit for the first time in the Club World Cup Group Game against ES Tunis. The Kit was worn with alternative socks, rather than the Green default socks.
It appears the Brentford x Joma deal is confirmed, with the launch of their training range this week.
Barnsley have confirmed they are moving away from Puma have signed a new Kit deal with Oxen, who now will supply at least three teams in League One this season and four in total in EFL.
Carlisle United who were relegated into National League last season, launched their new home kit and its another look to the past with Umbro, this time taking one of their classic Away kit looks but giving it a home kit spin as they look to bounce back to League Two this season!
You might wonder why the announcements of Liverpool’s new signings has been using last season’s Nike Kits, the new deal with Adidas does not start until 1st August, so all activity including pre-season friendlies in July will be in Nike playing and training kits.
Manchester City used their alternative shorts and socks with their Home Kit in the final World Club Cup Group game against Juventus, the navy shorts and socks give a really interesting look that I think works well with the navy details within the shirt, a look I hope we see in Premier League this season!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
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!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over at my Socials…
The 2024 / 25 Premier League season ended on Sunday 25th May 2025 with Liverpool having secured their 2nd Premier League back in April with four games still to play and finished 10 points clear of second placed Arsenal.

Match 1 to Match 19
Match 20 to Match 38
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 Tables
One area I like to look at is a team’s performance in their kit, I have created the below tables (Home, Away and 3rd Kit), all shirt variations are included in each section, e.g. Aston Villa and Manchester United’s four Home Kit variations are all included in the “Home Kit” Table and based on “Points per Game” used ratio.
Home Kits
No real surprises here, with Liverpool heading up the points per game table, although in comparison to last season three teams (including Liverpool) scored a better points per game average than 2.17 of this season. Liverpool also scored the most points with 63!
The three relegated teams all scored under a point per game!
Away Kits
Again, no surprises at the top of this table with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea heading the top 3 with the top 2 the only teams to average more than 2 points per game in their Away Kit.
Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most points this season in their Away Kit, with 19 points, a win on the final day in this kit at Tottenham Hotspur meant they finished with more points than Crystal Palace.
There are some of the traditionally larger teams towards the bottom here, 11 teams in total averaged 1 point of less per game in their Away with Aston Villa and Manchester City both only averaging 1 point per game and further six teams scoring less than a point per game, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Southampton, who wore their Away Kit the most amount of times this season (15 games), only managed 1 win, 1 draw to score just 4 points in this kit this season.
3rd Kits
The 3rd Kit points per game table gave us Manchester City at the top with 2.4 points per game. Fulham in 2nd place and overall 5 teams scoring 2 points or more on average in their 3rd Kit.
Nottingham Forest scored the most points in their 3rd kit, with 16 point in it’s 10 uses (also the most worn 3rd Kit).
Chelsea (1 game) and Tottenham Hotspur (2 games) failed to score a point in their 3rd Kit and Brighton & Hove Albion did not use their 3rd (2023 / 24 Away Kit) at all this season.
Summary and Highlights
There was a slight increase in the number of kits worn this season from last year, with 113 Different Kits used compared to the 110 of 2023 / 24 season, however that does include the use of 3 kits from next season (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United) compared the 1 (Liverpool) from this time last year!
There were plenty of discussion points through the season with the kits used, some of the highlights for me are the following.
Lets start with Aston Villa, they used an incredible 13 different Kit Looks this season, this is the most that have been used by a single team in a season since I have been keeping this records. They wore this season’s kits in 12 different looks and then debuted next season’s Away kit in their final game of the season.
The used their Home Kit in four different variations…
Away Kit in four different variations….
and 3rd Kit also in four different variations….
Manchester United used once less Kit Variation than last season but still managed to use 10 different looks this season, this was made up of four Home Kit looks…. and three looks for both Away and 3rd Kits.
Newcastle United’s first season back with Adidas, gave us ten different kit variations in the League this season, including four combinations of their wonderful Away Kit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers used alternative “Old Gold” shorts in nine games in total this season and all of these have taken place since they changed their Manager in December (is this Vítor Pereira’s preference on the road?) and have only worn a change Kit Once in 24 games, their final use of change kit was on 29th December 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur and ended up in their Home Kit in 34 of the 38 games.
The single most worn outfield kit look was Ipswich Town’s Home Kit which was worn 30 times this season.
Nottingham Forest used their 3rd Kit in four different looks this season, they also secured the most points in 3rd Kits, with 16 points won in it’s 10 games worn as the team qualified for European Football for the first time in 30 years.
One of interesting Kit Stories of the season was use of claret socks by Brentford when they played 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…!
Southampton wore change kits in 18 of their 19 Away games this season, their only use of Home Kit away from St.Mary’s in the Premier League was their game at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 9th November (Matchweek 11).
Two other kits were also worn 30 times, these were the goalkeeper kits of Everton and Leicester City (both shades of green for the traditionalists out there).
Compared to last season, the Goalkeeper Kit Usage was very different with 72 different Goalkeeper kits used, this is an increase of 18% with 61 Kits used last season.
Both Arsenal and Manchester United wore 7 different Goalkeeper Kits this season.
Arsenal wore three of the standard Adidas Templates, two of their 3rd Kits (Adidas Trefoil), their new 2025 / 26 kit in their final Home game of the season and this wonderful Mash Up of their yellow and black keeper templates.
Manchester United’s 7 Goalkeeper Kits were made up of their three standard templates and they had use of three different 3rd Kit looks (Adidas Trefoil), their 7th look was their use of Green Adidas Trefoil Kit which was first used with the regular green template socks (one for the more eagle eyed Kit spotters out there).
Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Southampton all used four different Goalkeeper Kits this season, all using different looks with no mash ups.
There we have it…

Wolverhampton Wanderers have worn alternative shorts for four times in their last six games, all of these four games have been away from home and have not worn their Home Kit with black shorts in an away game since Vítor Pereira took over on 19th December, is this an initiative from the Manager?
My favourite Kit Match Up of this Matchweek was the game between Aston Villa and Chelsea, The Villa Kit is one of my favourite this season and although Chelsea did go for alternative socks, their Away Kit is a nice clean look, for a nice match up.

Chelsea continue their 100% record in their Away kit this season, making it 3 wins in 3 this weekend (2 with alternative socks, as worn here).
The four Umbro supplied team’s goalkeepers all wore the same template kit this weekend, with AFC Bournemouth, Brentford, Ipswich Town and West Ham United all using the yellow goalkeeper kit!
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between AFC Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion, mainly due this being the first match up this season by two teams in striped shirts… the Bournemouth Home Kit (sponsor aside) is fantastic this season, and seeing the contrast in stripes with Brighton shirt worked well for me!

Kit News
Leicester City’s front of shirt sponsor BC.Game announced this week that they have been declared bankrupt, however news from the club is that their sponsor is still committed to the club and will remain on shirts…. one to keep an eye on!
Tottenham Hotspur have annouced a “remastering” of their brand, the headline of this is course an amendment to the club crest which see the word mark of the club removed, leaving just the cockerel. However there is more to this change than just this, there is an re-introduction of a club “wordmark”, 7 Club “Hallmarks” created for the club, we will see these on the kits in the coming seasons!
The most interesting update for me is club introducing a colour palette, does this give us hint of the colours will club will use for their kits going forward, nothing surprising to see but they are closely linked to kits of the club’s past!
Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced a special kit to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of “Floodlight Friendly” win against Honved in 1954, a game that key in the creation of The European Cup. The reflective looking design with minimal branding will be worn against Ipswich Town on 14th December.

New Kits this Matchweek
There were no new Kit Looks this Matchweek, we will see any new looks for before Clubs starting launching next season’s kits… watch this space!
Kit Highlights
Newcastle United wore a Charity Kit in their game against Tottenham Hotspur but there was more to the shirt than meets the eye. The Sponsor for this game was The Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), its also worth noting that the backs of the shirts for this game were white, same that we have seen in Champions League earlier this season, normally backs have the full stripes.
There were special ‘haptic’ shirts that will make matchday more accessible for those with hearing loss…. Deaf supporters will wear a unique shirt that transforms the noise of the stadium into a real-time touch sensation, this graphic shows some of the technology in these shirts
Wolverhampton Wanderers were in their 3rd Kit for the fourth time this season and remain unbeaten when playing in this kit, winning two and drawing two.
Crystal Palace have worn their away kit for three times in their last four games!
Everton have now worn five different Kit Looks in their last five games.. with three different Home Kit Looks, a 3rd kit and in their Away kit with alternative shorts and socks for their game against Chelsea!
My favourite Kit Match Up of this weekend was the game between Chelsea and Everton, the Chelsea kit has really grown on me this season and one the best Home Kits they have had in the Nike Era, paired with one of my favourite kits of the season in Everton’s Away Kit!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 13 Home Kits, 3 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits in action for these games.
There was there were three Kit Variations on show…
Manchester United in All White 3rd Kit, this is 6th time this look has been used
Fulham in Home Kit with alternative white socks, for the 7th time this season
Everton in Away Kit with alternative salmon shorts and socks, for the 3rd time
Kit Grid – Up to 16th April 2024
Kit News
Another week with no Premier League Kit News, we starting to see leaks of next season’s shirts but we at Kit Geek Towers will only share those when they are offically released, which I am sure we will start seeing in the coming weeks with several teams often in new kits in their final games of the season…!

Matchweek 27 is now completed, time to take a deeper look into the kits of the weekend and a special weekend for Kit Reviews as we hit 100 Kits of the season in the Premier League. This round of fixtures being the reverse games of Matchweek 10
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 27 Fixtures
Total Kits Used
Kits Worn in Total – 100 (+1 from Matchweek 26)
Goalkeeper Kits – 58 (No change from Matchweek 26)
New Kits this Matchweek
There was just the one new kit on show this weekend and it was the 100th Kit of the Premier League Season!
Brighton & Hove Albion wore their 3rd Kit for the first time this season, this was last season’s away kit but in this instance was worn with white shorts.. also meaning that The Seagulls have worn alternative white shorts with all three of their kits in League this season.
Kit Highlights
Manchester City became the first team to wear a kit 20 times this season (out of 27 games) when they played Local Rivals Manchester United.
After calling out their excellent record of Wolverhampton Wanderers in their change kits a few weeks ago, I may have jinxed them as their defeat against Newcastle United was their first loss in a change kit this season (8 games – 5 Away kit / 3 3rd Kit appearences).
My favourite Kit Match Up of this weekend was The Manchester Derby, I do enjoy this Kit Match up when it is played a Manchester City, one of Kit Guilty Pleasures is seeing Manchester United in Black Shorts and especially this season with their default socks being used, giving us this look for just the second time.
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 2 Away Kits and 4 3rd Kits in action in this Matchweek
There was there two Kit Variations on show this week.
Brighton & Hove Albion in their 3rd Kit with White Shorts
Manchester United in Home Kit with alternative black shorts, the 2nd time this short and (default) socks combination has been used
Kit Grid – Up to 4th March 2024
