The best home kit revealed for the 2024/25 Premier League season is either the very best or the absolute worst, while Crystal Palace get it just right.
We’ve ranked all 20 Premier League home kits for 2024/25 and, fair warning, we’re already doubting ourselves about top spot. We genuinely couldn’t decide whether it should be first or 20th – all we knew for sure was that it was definitely one of the two.
The 0161 area code didn’t even exist until 1995, although we suppose that does give it a far longer history of success than City.If we were a football club embarking on a noble and admirable mission to re-normalise the idea that a kit can last two seasons, we simply would not do so with something this drab.
But while blue absolutely can be part of an Arsenal home kit – think of the ’91 title winners here – we do fear, alas, that Arsenal have too much of it here. It’s a very prominent tertiary colour on a kit that already has a very prominent secondary colour. Spurs and Arsenal both having too much blue on their home kit this season is a bit of fun, isn’t it?
To be fair to Puma, they were probably on a hiding to nothing here whatever they did. Given Southampton’s last kit was a note perfect tribute to a late ’80s masterpiece, whatever Puma did this season was going to be a step down. Probably to their credit that they’ve accepted this and just delivered a meat-and-potatoes Southampton kit for their first, but we would want to see something a bit more creative next time.
The collar here also appears to be entirely afterthought, and that simply won’t do for such a vital element of kit design.Ah, the age-old Tottenham kit problem. Too much white one year, too much navy the next. The constant struggle to land upon exactly the right amount continues and Nike have not found it this time. Full blue sleeves doesn’t sit right for a Spurs kit, even though there is precedent from Kappa’s 2005/06 effort.
It appears from what we’ve seen of it a pleasingly bright shirt, with the stripe-within-a-stripe fading from blue to white working unexpectedly well. Our views on colour fades to the waist are well known by now, but it definitely works far, far better in a stripe – especially one as thin as this – than across an entire midsection.
Not necessarily a criticism, though, because this is a clean, smart offering and the pattern within the material formed by two overlapping stars is suitably unique and novel. We’re not normally fans of a very chunky collar, but umbro and Ipswich have craftily managed to avoid most of the potential pitfalls that come with it by going for a slightly darker blue rather than being tempted by white or red which would have been an unwelcome distraction from the overall feel. Excellent effort all round, this.Adidas and Newcastle is a combination that just feels right, and let’s face it anything is an upgrade when you’ve been Castored for any period of time.
The collar is better than Arsenal’s similar one, and resisting a third colour or doing anything silly with the underarm means they’ve got a far better overall look than Arsenal despite the obvious design similarities.Oof, that’s the good stuff, isn’t it? There aren’t many clubs where retro is a bad idea, but few where it’s quite as good an idea as at West Ham.
For now, though, hats off to Palace and Macron because this is excellent. Oh, and we know what you’re wondering. Does the eagle pattern extend into the shorts? You better believe the eagle pattern extends into the shorts. A triumph.Clear winners in the always keenly-contested ‘marketing bumwash accompanying a kit launch’ contest thanks to this magnificent collection of words.
