Kit Highlights
Lots of new kits and kit looks on show this weekend so plenty of kit talking points.
I will start with my favourite Kit Match up of the weekend which was Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United.
Spurs in All White is a favoured looked of mine and same goes for Manchester United, the Red / Black / Black look is one I always enjoy seeing so it was a no-brainer this week for the Kit Match Up of the weekend in my eyes.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Brighton and Hove Albion was not only the fixture with the most letters in it was also the only fixture this weekend with both teams in kits also worn in the opening weekend with the other eight games having at least one new outfield kit on show.
Four Teams have used two different Home Kit Looks in their opening two fixtures…
Aston Villa and Everton
Manchester United and Newcastle United
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 14 Home Kits (11 default and 3 variations), 3 Away Kits and again just the one 3rd kit used this weekend.
Due to the postponement of Luton Town v Burnley it meant that there were only 18 kits on show this weekend.
Kit Grid – Up to 22nd August
Kit News
As expected there was some Kit Releases this week…
Arsenal 3rd Kit was something that we expected to see and did not disappoint, one the kits of the season in my humble opionion.
Wolverhampton Wanderers 3rd Kit, an interesting choice of colour for Wolves and another “jazzy” design from Castore.
West Ham United 3rd Kit, a blue 3rd kit for Europa Conference Cup Holders and shirt that takes some design inspriation from London Stadium’s (Olympic Stadium) floodlights.
It looks like the rumoured Newcastle United deal to return to Adidas was inadvertently leaked in the latest episode of their Amazon Prime Documentary, this meant Adidas released the below tweet…. so watch this space on 1st September 2023.
Was there another accidental kit release this weekend when Sky Sports showed Chelsea’s new away kit in the advertising graphic for their game this weekend with West Ham United… oops! (unsure of where the picture came from for credit) Will this be offically released with the Club’s new rumoured shirt sponsor this week?
I will be back again next week with Matchweek 3’s Kit Review, will we see any teams going for the Home, Away and 3rd Kits in their first three games, there are nine teams in Home and Change kit so far, with five of those teams (Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, West Ham United and Manchester City) all playing away from home!
