We’re now just a few weeks away from the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season, so excitement is building.
A lot of fans look to new signings as a way to prepare for the new campaign. But there are other ways, including the release of new kits. While clubs used to keep their kits for a few seasons, we now have fresh sets every summer.
Some manufacturers like to play it safe, especially with the home kits. But others try to catch the eye with bold designs. After all, football kits are now more than just a way to show your support for a club. It’s all about fashion.
So, who has caught the eye, for right and wrong reasons?
We’ve taken a look at all the confirmed kits to see what we’ve got coming in 2025-26.
Arsenal
Home
Adidas have had a good run of kits for Arsenal, and the latest home offering is no different. It looks plain red with white shoulders and sleeves, but the red also includes a gothic A printed faintly to add a bit of personality.

Away
Arsenal have returned with blue for their away kit for the first time since 2017-18, though there’s a bit of a similarity to the 2021-22 third kit. Rocking a lightning pattern, the kit pays homage to the “famous Royal Arsenal Gatehouse lightning bolt” — from the Gunners’ south London roots. The kit is mostly blue with the only red being the Adidas three stripes. It’s another strong kit by Adidas.
Aston Villa
Home
Aston Villa have gone for the classic claret and blue look with their 2025-26 home kit. The claret includes breathable holes on the front, which do add something to the design — and there’s a gold trim around the outside. But the real addition is the gold design on the sleeve cuffs, “inspired by the grand facade of the Holte End”. It’s a classy edition to a nice kit.
Away
Aston Villa actually released their away kit for 2025-26 before their home one. It’s quite a nice kit, mostly black with a design on the shoulders said to be inspired by the Bullring shopping centre in Birmingham.

Bournemouth
Home
Bournemouth have stuck with their usual red-and-black stripes for this year’s home kit, and it doesn’t look too different to their previous options. The sleeves are black and there is a gold trim on the cuffs and collar, but that’s about it. There is a “subtle sand-textured pattern woven into each stripe” but it’s only really seen with a closer look.
Away
No, it’s not Inter Milan. It’s Bournemouth. The Cherries have gone with blue and black for their away kit and it looks good. While Bournemouth have had both blue and black on an away kit in recent years, it’s the first time they’ve done it striped since 2011-12. That in itself was a hark back to the 90s, with the thicker stripes drawing comparisons to the 1994-95 away shirt. Obviously, it’s a bit more modern with an aqua pinstripe just inside the black stripes.
Brentford
Home
Brentford’s 2025-26 home kit is steeped in history. It marks 100 years since Brentford switched to red-and-white stripes having experimented with a number of styles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It’s basic in terms of design, but that’s what Brentford are going for with a nod to the past. And there are thin red lines just outside the red stripes to make it slightly different. The collar also has a nod to history, in the style of the old laced-up collars, with a 100 logo on the back of the kit.
Away
Now this one divides opinion. Brown isn’t a colour we see used too often for kits — at least not as the main colour, and not used as a stripe. Combining with gold, it brings the mind to the old-school Classic XI kit on FIFAs past. But that was a made up kit. This will be in the Premier League. The kit is said to celebrate “Brentford’s connection with the bees”, with a bee-wing pattern on the brown of the shirt. The gold comes with trim on the collar and sleeve edges, as well as the sponsors and badges. This may be one to wait and see what it looks like during a match.
Brighton
Home
Brighton and Hove Albion’s latest take on blue and white stripes isn’t too different from their 2024-25 kit. This one is more plain, though, with just plain blue stripes — and a horizontal blue hoop for the sponsor. They have been bold and switched the colour of their collar from blue to white, though!
Away
This is much better from Brighton. It may be an acquired taste but the purple is a nice change, especially with a darker shade down the middle. That same shade is on the cuffs of the sleeves and down the side. The kit does also follow the Nike template of trying the badge and logo down the middle, though that may take something away from the strip.
Burnley
Home
Burnley have gone as claret as they can for their new kit, with just a hint of blue on the sleeves and collars. And that light blue is also joined by a thin white stripe, which looks really smart. There’s also detailing on the body – which the release statement describes as being inspired by “mapping and the contour lines of the surrounding hills, including Pendle Hill”. We’re not sure how good your geography is, but it looks good.
Away
It’s not going to be hard to spot Burnley players when they’re wearing their away kit. The Clarets’ new threats definitely stand out, but not in a bad way. The mix of light blue and white look good together, and the pattern is apparently inspired by the Turf Moor crowd. “This year’s vibrant blue print has been created using soundwaves of chants and singing recorded in our home sections,” the club’s press release claims.
Chelsea
Home
Another home kit with printing on, Chelsea’s new shirt is said to be inspired by ‘London’s iconic landmarks and creative culture’. They’ve kept a white collar and also brought back a red trim on the sides – harking back to kits of Chelsea past.
Away
Chelsea were the first Premier League club to announce both their home and away kits for the new season. The away kit is a nod back to a kit from the 70s, which had a red and green stripe down the middle — paying tribute to the successful Hungary side of the 1950s. But this time the red and green is more subtle, in thin stripes down the middle, as well as on the sleeves. It’s a nice looking shirt.
Crystal Palace
Home
A fair few Crystal Palace fans weren’t happy with their 2025-26 kit, and it’s easy to see why. They’ve tried to build on the classic red-and-blue by adding in white to separate the stripes. But the white is far too big. They’ve also thrown white into the sleeves and the collar. It doesn’t scream FA Cup holders and Uefa Conference League participants. More National League (or old-school Conference for those of a certain age).
Away
We’re not calling this the Eagle Gold kit. You can’t make us. It’s Palace’s away kit for the 2025-26 season. Obviously made to mark the club’s first major trophy win in May, Palace’s kit is mostly gold — but not Wolves gold. It has an old-school buttoned collar and a black trim around the shoulders with some detail on the sleeve edges and collar. There’s also a bit of a pattern on the gold. But again it doesn’t hit.
Everton
Home
Everton mark the start of a new era at the club with a nod to their fresh surroundings. The blue of their shirt includes a darker shade of horizontal wave, symbolising the River Mersey that runs alongside their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. The collar has a slight strip of white which, while only minor, does had something extra to make this a nice kit.
Away
Everton’s away kit is a nice colour we don’t see too often in Premier League kits, a yellow that does enough to stand out without blinding you. It is mostly yellow — including the polo-shirt collar — but there is a blue pattern on the sleeve. This one is said to represent the railway line that went to the Liverpool docklands “when they were at the centre of maritime connectivity” during the 19th century. Another connection to their new stadium.
Fulham
Home
There’s not much you can do with white as the primary colour of your kit. But Adidas have done well for Fulham. The kit is white, but the black trim makes it look a lot smarter. The collar and sleeve edges are nice too. There’s not much to say about it, given how little it’s got going on. But it works.
Away
There won’t be any struggles in separating Fulham from their opponents when they wear their new away kit. There may be some issues in distinguishing them from the pitch, though. The Cottagers have gone bold for their away kit, with a lime green paying tribute to the late 90s and early 2000s. This green stands out a lot more than the green of the 1999-00 away kit, which will certainly split opinion. The use of the black for the collar and sides is nice, as is the classic Fulham badge.
Leeds
Home
Leeds United’s home kit is once again white, and that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. The clue’s in their nickname of the Whites. The Adidas logo and stripes are blue, but there’s an interesting detail on the cuffs and collar. It’s a blue and yellow pattern that may not mean much to anyone outside of Leeds. But the pattern represents the tiles of Lowfields Tunnel, which runs under the M621 to connects the north side of Lowfields Road to the south — for those on foot — en route to Elland Road. The club describes the tunnel as “more than a passage, it’s a ritual and a symbolic gateway to Elland Road”.
Away
Leeds have gone classic blue for their away kit, having used yellow last season. There is some yellow on this kit, but it’s hidden on the sides — enough to make you notice and add to the kit, but not to overpower. The Adidas logo and Red Bull sponsor are also yellow to tie it all together. And the middle of the three stripes on the shoulders being white is a nice touch.
Liverpool
Home
Premier League champions Liverpool really made their fans wait for their new kits. The reason for the wait was the end of their five-year deal with Nike, which ran until the end of July. Liverpool couldn’t reveal or wear their new Adidas strips until 1st August. The new home kit draws comparisons to their 2008-09 strip, with the white outline down the sides. But instead of a polo-style collar, this time it’s just a bit of white on each side. That’s not to say it doesn’t look nice, though.
Away
Liverpool have returned to yellow for their away kit for the first time since 2014-15. But this one is more of a washed out shade, almost as if the 2021-22 away and third kits were caught in the same wash. It’s not a bad kit, but there’s something about it that feels a bit “Man Utd-y”.
Man City
Home
Puma have gone slightly different with Manchester City’s new home kit, adding a white sash to the classic sky blue. But it’s not a bold sash, almost looking like a streak of light. Other than that, it’s a pretty normal kit.

Away
Man City have gone back to their roots for their away kit this season. Although Man City were founded in 1880, there aren’t any records of their kits until the 1884. That was simply a black top with a white cross pattee, inspired by St Mark’s Church — after all, they were founded as St Mark’s (West Gorton). Now, Man City haven’t brought back the cross pattee, but they have made their away kit all black. They’ve also added a collar, which has a white trim — the only other colour on the kit.
Man Utd
Home
Paying homage to Old Trafford is the order of the day for the new Manchester United home kit for the 2025-26 season. With its traditional red, the added black and white trim adds an edge but it’s not entirely different to their previous offerings.

Away
Man Utd are another team to have looked to history for inspiration when it comes to their away kit. This time it’s the 1990-92 away kit, with the snowflake graphic. But the colour has changed, this time coming in a shade of purple rather than the iconic blue. It’s also less bold than the 1990-92 kit, but it works. The change in crest is a nice touch too.
Newcastle
Home
There isn’t too much you can do when your kit is black-and-white stripes, but Newcastle United’s 2025-26 home offering tries to be a bit different. The stripes are separated by what’s been described as the shepherd’s check, noted as a ‘classic northern motif’ – which can give it a faded look from afar.
Away
Newcastle have gone green for their away kit for the second time in three seasons, having barely used the colour outside of goalkeeper kits this century. This time the green is mixed with a lighter shade in an arch shape, to pay homage to the arch of the Tyne Bridge. There’s some white detailing on the sides which also runs down the shirt to add something extra.
Nottingham Forest
Home
This is how you do white stripes on a kit @ Crystal Palace. Nottingham Forest’s latest kit is predominantly red — after all, they are the Reds. It’s got a buttoned collar, which we love, and has a white edge. The white stripes are more pinstripes, thin without ruining the classic kit. There are also darker red pinstripes to make this a simple but elegant kit.
Away
Forest were the last team to complete their home and away set for the 2025-26 season. Their away kit is said to be inspired by Nottingham’s lace market, paying homage to the city’s cultural history. The nod comes in the form of a faint pattern on the front of the shirt, which is an off-white sort of colour. The collar and trim is closer to gold, but still quite faded. It’s understated but that works for it, rather than against it.
Sunderland
Home
Sunderland are back in the Premier League for the first time in eight years, and they’ve announced their new home kit for the return. The Black Cats have taken inspiration from their 1986-88 kit design, and they’ve matched it well. The shoulders and sleeves are red, with the white stripes (not the band) solely in the centre — though they do start higher up than the 1986-88 kit. There’s also a nice detailing on the collar and sleeve cuffs, bringing black into the kit.
Away
Sunderland have gone for another throwback with their away kit. This time it’s to the 1989-91 away kit used while the Black Cats were in the second division. Then, the kit was primarily blue with a white and red on the collar in a stripe – keeping Sunderland’s home identity. And they’ve brought back that colour scheme, though the collar doesn’t include the stripe — it’s just white with a red trim. But the blue isn’t just plain blue, it now features a pattern “inspired by the view of the Roker Beach lighthouse”. More and more kits are trying to bring links to the local surroundings, which we love.
Tottenham
Home
Tottenham Hotspur have kept a similar style in their 2025-26 home kit. Of course, it’s predominantly white with a bit of blue. This time, the blue comes down from either side of the neck, ending just under the armpits — front and back. There’s then a grey block down the rest of the sides. The badge and Nike logo are both in the middle above the sponsor, and does look likely crowded.

Away
Tottenham have gone back to black for their away kit this season, which they claim to “engineered for speed and built for stealth”. It’s not completely black, with a slight silvery-grey checking across the kit — though you do have to look closely to really see it. The collar is the same colour as the checks, but again it’s very thin so doesn’t stand out. It’s a smart-looking kit.
West Ham
Home
West Ham United’s new home kit got mixed reviews from fans when it was released. And it’s easy to see why. The strip is a bit bland, going down the Burnley route of being mostly claret with a dash of blue. The blue here is only on the sleeve edges and collar — and even then it’s pinstriped — as well as down the side. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t really feel West Ham.
Away
Another pale yellow away kit in the Premier League, this one is apparently “Ecru” — whatever that means. It has a bit of a weird shade to it, and it has been pointed out that it looks like West Ham’s away kit from 2023-24. Maybe that one got put in the wash with something yellow, sparking this design. It may be better than the home kit, but it’s still not great. There’s something about the way the “Ecru” will reflect the sun that is blinding.
Wolves
Home
Wolverhampton Wanderers are another team slightly limited in terms of design, with their kits predominantly gold with a hint of black somewhere. And obviously they want to differentiate themselves from Hull City, so stripes are out of the question. This particular kit is a throwback to the kits Wolves had from 1970 to 1982, with a black collar and trim on the sleeve edge. On the gold itself is a print paying homage to Molineux Pleasure Grounds — a public park that stood before Molineux Stadium was built. For what it is, this is a nice effort.
Away
This is a nice away kit from Wolves. It’s basic in its design, but the colours work well. The turquoise is a bold colour but not too bold that it’s off-putting, and the black collar and sleeve edge give it that little bit extra it needs. There’s also a pattern on the turquoise, which has been described as a “jacquard geometric wolf head print, inspired by the geometric lines of Molineux”. We’ll have to take Wolves’ word for it. But it looks good.
