Introduction:
As the 2023-2024 football season draws to a close, clubs are already unveiling their new kits for the upcoming campaign. Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester City have already confirmed their home jerseys for the 2024-2025 season, while Manchester United’s leaked kit has caused a stir online. Other clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle, and Leicester City are also set to sport new designs. Let’s take a closer look at what we can expect from these kits.
Manchester United:
Fans of Manchester United will be hoping for a better season in the Premier League next year. However, they have already been left disappointed by a leaked image of their new shirts. Designed by Adidas, the home kit features an unconventional stripe that runs from the shoulder down to the arm. The away kit is predominantly blue with shoulder stripes, resembling England’s cricket top. The third kit is off-white with a tricolor stripe on the chest in red, off-white, and carbon.
Arsenal:
For the first time since 1990, Arsenal will proudly wear the cannon on their jersey. The new kit features a navy trim instead of the previous gold trim, with the iconic three Adidas lines in the same color. The away kit, leaked by Footy Headlines, resembles a can of Lynx Africa with its black color and red and green shoulder stripes.
Manchester City:
Manchester City has officially launched their new kit, featuring a tribute to the 0161 dialing code of Manchester. The goalkeeper’s jersey stands out with its brown and green colors, pink lettering, and badges. In line with Puma’s RE:FIBRE initiative for a more sustainable future, the jersey is made up of at least 95% recycled textile waste.
Chelsea:
While we’re still unsure about Chelsea’s home kit for next season, a leaked design of their potential away kit has received mixed reviews from fans. The white shirt with royal blue collar and sleeves, along with a red strip, bears a resemblance to England’s controversial new Nike kit featuring the “St George’s” flag.
Tottenham:
Tottenham fans may have complaints about their team’s performance, but few will have any about their home kit. The Nike design features navy more prominently this time, with navy sleeves, side panels, and collar.
Liverpool:
Next season will be a transitional one for Liverpool, as they bid farewell to Jurgen Klopp and switch from New Balance to Nike. Their new home kit design pays homage to the 1984 European Cup-winning team, with a red body, yellow logos, and white sponsor logos and detailing.
Newcastle:
Newcastle is undergoing a change with Nike replacing Castore as the club’s kit maker. Leaked kits suggest a classic black and white stripes design based on the Adidas Tiro 24 template, with a black Adidas logo and retro badge incorporated.
West Ham:
In 2023, West Ham signed a multi-season deal with Umbro as their kit manufacturer. The centenary logo of Umbro in red and white is expected to feature on the kits. The away shirt may be predominantly white with grey sleeves and neckline, accompanied by a dotted white pattern. A leaked third kit comes in black, reminiscent of the club’s commemorative 125th Anniversary Umbro Third Kit.
Leicester City:
After earning promotion back to the Premier League, Leicester City will celebrate with three new jerseys made by Adidas. The home kit stays true to tradition in blue and white, with gold detailing on the collar. The away jersey is predominantly white with dark navy badge and sponsor, featuring the classic stripes on the shoulder. The third jersey stands out with a fire-like design on a black base.
Conclusion:
As clubs prepare for the 2024-2025 season, anticipation builds around their newly unveiled kits. From Manchester United’s leaked shirts to Arsenal’s return of the cannon, fans eagerly await the chance to sport their team’s colors. Manchester City’s sustainable initiative and Liverpool’s homage to their European Cup-winning past add extra dimensions to these kits. While Chelsea’s potential away kit has sparked debate, Tottenham’s design is a hit among supporters. Newcastle, West Ham, and Leicester City also have exciting new kits in store for their fans. As the new season approaches, these kits will surely add to the excitement and passion of the beautiful game.
