We are two weeks into the season and we have had our share of looks at all the clubs this year. All this means now is the perfect time to go around the Premier League and see which clubs have the best and worst kits this year.
We start our journey with the home kits, and we’ll bring you the best/worst away kits tomorrow.
Anyways, here ya go:
That is a damn good home kit. And it’s one in which all the colours work to complement each other. But what really draws my eyes are those wonderful blue piping on the shoulders. The classic three-stripe Adidas looks pretty good here. And even the Adidas logo matches the blue piping and the blue on the crest. Exceptional work.
If Leeds show us whast to do with a home kit, then Spurs show us what not to do. The strange blue/gray on the shoulders into the pits doesn’t work. Everything looks off balance. And of course, that hideous red AIA is going nowhere.
I love the collar and the subtle designs that are knitted into this, apparently inspired by the “Molineux Pleasure Grounds”. And only three colours here: gold, black and white (the wolf’s eyes). Looks great.
I just don’t like this one. It’s too busy. The claret on the front has a pattern, plus you’ve got the gold piping around that plus a gold accent on the end of the sleeves.
Then there’s the sky blue shoulder/sleeves and white piping. It’s all too much.
This marks a big season for Everton, as they settle into their new stadium. It sits right alongside the River Mersey, which is the inspiration behind this year’s home kit. And it’s done to great effect.
I appreciate what Brentford are trying, but it’s not working.
The stich-necking on the collar doesn’t work. Plus it’s way too the kit sponsor and club crest, the black feels out of place and it sits just above the logo. There’s too much going on.
