Matchweek 36 has now been completed, and we are that stage of the season where most teams have just one more Home Game Each.. so a chance of new kits on show in the coming weeks (more on that below). The fixtures from this weekend are a mix of games from Matchweek 7 (7 games from there) and Matchweek 2 (3 games from there).. the fixture computer must of had a funny turn when coming this round of games!
As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here
The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.
Matchweek 36
Total Kits Used
- Kits Worn in Total – 109 (+1 from Matchweek 35)
- Goalkeeper Kits – 60 (+1 from Matchweek 35)
New Kits this Matchweek
There was one new kit on show this weekend, with Nottingham Forest using alternative socks with their 3rd Kit, we have seen these socks before but they were worn with alternative shorts as well, interesting against Brentford who wear the same colour combination as Sheffield United… so I guess they did not like the look of the shorts to use them again!
In the Midweek Game between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur (delayed from MW26), Tottenham used the Green Nike Goalkeeper Template for the first time this season.
Kit Highlights
This matchweek saw five teams in 3rd Kits, the joint most worn in one round of fixtures, however this was the first time this season where we saw three teams in 3rd Variations with Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Luton Town and Everton, a nice balance between the two kits and likely the last time we will see this wonderful Everton 3rd Kit in action!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits, 1 Away Kit and 5 3rd Kit in action.
There were a total of 4 Kit variations used in this Matchweek
- Fulham, in 3rd Kit with alternative pink shorts & socks, 2nd time this season
- Nottingham Forest, 3rd Kit with alternative orange socks
- Aston Villa, Home Kit with alternative claret shorts & socks, 4th time seen this season
- Manchester United in 3rd Kit with white socks, the 7th time used
Kit Grid – Up to 7th May 2024
Kit News
The first offical Kit Launch for 2024/25 has happened and there is no surprise that it is Liverpool. Their much leaked home kit is now available for Pre-Order for 16th May, this suggests that we will see this kit in action (a regular occurance for Liverpool) with the likely game being the final game of the season against Wovlerhampton Wanderers. I will be interested to see the kit in action and initially quite like the yellow / white side flashes, which are also on the shorts’ side panels, an element of the kit that was not seen in the leaked images..!
Another club that may debut their 2024/25 Home Kit before the end of the season is Manchester City who are making plans to wear the new kit against West Ham United on the final game of the season, HOWEVER… it has been reported that they will ONLY wear their new kit if… the Premier League Title has been secured at that point either by themselves or another club, if the title race goes down to that final round of fixtuers then they will wear this season’s kit.
