Premier League new home kits 2024/25: Best and worst revealed so far | OneFootball

The 2024/25 Premier League season is on the horizon and at this time of year, there’s arguably just as much excitement about what players are going to be wearing as there is about what they’ll actually achieve on the pitch.

New kits are being dropped left, right and centre as the Premier League clubs show off bold new strips to supporters. Of course, while away and third kits are always exciting, it’s the home kits that really get people talking.

So, who has caught the eye so far, for reasons right and wrong?

Our pick of the bunch from the home kits that are currently revealed has to be West Ham’s. Claret and blue is always pleasing on the eye and quite hard to get wrong, but the Hammers have really got it right this year. Their home jersey has a retro feel to the collar and sleeves, while they’ve inverted the colours from last year’s badge to make it a claret background. The whole thing screams of a throwback and it just works. Well done, Umbro.

At the other end of the scale, there’s Chelsea.

You have to credit the Blues for always trying something different with their kits over the last couple of years but their 2024/25 kit is, in a word, divisive.

Other kit-rating articles might place them among the best but this season’s Chelsea home shirt is akin to a spillage in a paint factory. A paint factory that also makes neon and glitter. Chelsea were going for ‘flames’ with their kit this year but may well stand a better chance of burning some of their profits.

Every 2024/25 Premier League home kit released so far

Arsenal

Arsenal have played a blinder here with the retro cannon badge they’ve added to their home kit. It’s the perfect blend of the excitement of this modern Arsenal team under Mikel Arteta and the glorious past the Gunners boast. The blue trim even evokes memories of the iconic JVC and Dreamcast kits of the 90s and 2000s.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa haven’t got it as ‘right’ with claret and blue as West Ham have, but this still does the trick. It’s simple and sleek and will look good under the lights on those Champions League nights at Villa Park.

Bournemouth

The kit is okay, the main sponsor is a little unfortunate.

Brentford

Brentford are one of a very small number of clubs to buck the trend and do their fans a favour by keeping the same home kit for two seasons, which means they’ll run out in the same strip in 2024/25. It’s a decent enough kit, while fans not having to fork out again this summer makes us look at it a little more favourably.

Brighton

There’s something about that central blue stripe that just doesn’t work. Maybe the pinstripe running through it is too distracting, or maybe it feels a little too neat. But there’s just something off about Brighton’s home jersey this year.

Crystal Palace

Can something be both brilliant and terrible at the same time? On the one hand, there is a lot going on with those stripes to the point it that it feels like a step away from Palace kits of old. On the other hand, it’s an eye-catchingly bit of fashion.

We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Everton

Everton’s 2024/25 home kit is a little boring, to be honest. It’s okay. And that standard is absolutely not okay for a club playing its final season at a stadium that has been their home for 131 years. Goodison Park deserves better, and last season’s kit was exactly that.

Not a good start for the relationship between Everton and Castore.

Fulham

Everything about this kit is great, apart from that blasted sleeve sponsor. It’s absolutely huge and completely takes away from what should be a sleek and sharp jersey.

Sorry Fulham, but you’ve hit the outside of the post here.

Ipswich Town

Is that collar nice or not? We’ve really bounced back and forth on this one but come to the conclusion that in combination with the pinstripes, just about looks retro enough to go down as a good kit. There are better ways to announce your return to the Premier League, but also worse.

For what it’s worth, that away shirt is a cracker!

Leicester City

Speaking of returning to the Premier League…

While we’re not suggesting Leicester are going to go on another shock title charge, this kit definitely gives us 2016 vibes. It’s not the most eye-catching, but will evoke brilliant memories for supporters.

Liverpool

Nike were on to something with the pinstripes and colour scheme of this kit. Then they added that collar. That misshapen eyesore of a collar. Sorry Liverpool, but your kit is ruined.

Manchester City

Sleek, simple and with a nice reference to the local area with the ‘0161’ Manchester dialling code on the sleeves and collar. This is a kit made for champions.

Manchester United

You’ll notice the stripes at the bottom of this one in a slightly lighter shade of red. They’re the same stripes that feature on the Fulham shirt, which is a little lazy and disappointing from Adidas. Did they really have to give Manchester United of all clubs the template treatment?

Other than that, it’s a decent kit and the Snapdragon sponsorship looks better than Team Viewer.

Newcastle United

It’s a black-and-white-striped Newcastle kit. What’s not to love?! Well, there’s that collar which isn’t the best, but apart from that it’s good enough.

Nottingham Forest

Another Adidas kit, another set of stripes coming up from the bottom. Luckily, they’ve made the rest of it work just about well enough that it should be a popular kit among fans.

Southampton

The collar and Rollbit sponsorship have ruined what should have been a perfectly decent kit for Southampton’s return to the Premier League.

Verdict: Miss

Tottenham Hotspur

Traditional Spurs white with that lovely shade of blue we so often see from Tottenham. Couple it with a simple, round collar and sharp sleeves and Nike have knocked it out of the park! Can Spurs finally win something, because this kit would be great to look back on fondly in a decade or two?

Wolves

It’s always a risk when a club puts their badge in the middle of the kit, but Wolves — and more importantly, new manufacturer Sudu — have done it very well here. With those sleeves and the collar, the whole thing is well-cut and sharp.
