The Christmas fixtures are now in full swing with Matchweek 17 being completed over this weekend, however due to the abandonment of the game between AFC Bournemouth and Luton Town there was only nine completed fixtures.
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 17 Fixtures
Total Kits Used
- Kits Worn in Total – 81 (No Change from Matchweek 16)
- Goalkeeper Kits – 55 (+1 from Matchweek 16)
New Kits this Matchweek
There were no new outfield kits on show this week, this is the first time this season that we have had no new kit looks in a Matchweek.
However, there was one new Goalkeeper kit, with Brighton & Hove Albion using the yellow version of their goalkeeper kit template (last season’s Nike Keeper Template), which also means the three goalkeeper kits used by Brighton this season are the same three kits used last season by the club (Black / Orange / Yellow).
Kit Highlights
Sheffield United wore their home kit away from Brammall Lane for the first time this season when they visited Chelsea on 16th December.
There were 15 Teams in their default Home Kit this matchweek, this is the highest number of default Home Kits on show in one week this season so far and with the abandoned game between AFC Bournemouth and Luton Town, this meant only three teams were in change kits this weekend…. Fulham (Away Kit), Aston Villa (3rd Kit), Manchester United (3rd Kit / Alternative Socks).
My favourite Kit Match Up of this week was at Anfield, with Liverpool playing Manchester United, with an all red versus all white look, there is something very classic looking about this Manchester United kit and although being used with alternative white socks, the overall match up looks somewhat classic in terms of colours and shirt design!
Kit Stats
Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits, 1 Away Kit and 2 3rd kits in action in this Matchweek (one match abandoned)
There were just the one Kit Variation on show this week…
- Manchester United in their 3rd Kit with alternative white socks, creating an All White look. 2nd time this has been used this season.
Kit Grid – Up to 18th December
Kit News
