Vesper 30,589 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Ranking every Premier League home kit for 2025-26: Wavy brilliance, retro styling and a nod to shepherds https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6538413/2025/08/07/premier-league-home-kits-2025-26-ranked/ A new season and new threads to enjoy — unless, of course, your team already wore their 2025-26 home kit last season for marketing purposes. As ever, the beginning of a campaign means new strips for all 20 Premier League clubs and that has stirred The Athletic’s resident kit critic Nick Miller into action. He has cast his eye over every fresh home shirt that we’ll see when English football’s top flight gets back underway next week and has rated them from worst to best. Dive into the list below.

dimmas 131 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 What’s going on with our FOS news? It’s been so quiet lately, and the league’s starting in just a couple of days. And what happens if the season kicks off and we still haven’t closed the sponsor deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,675 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I'm kind of surprise that they haven't got a sponsor, unless they realize they make more money without a sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,589 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Hopefully they make the FCWC badge smaller. Every time I see our kit it just looks too damn big, bigger even than our club crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,589 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Chelsea unveil aggressively basic 2025-26 third kit Don’t hurt yourself, Nike https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/kits/161245/Chelsea-unveil-aggressively-basic-2025-26-third-kit I’m on record for favoring simplicity when it comes to my Chelsea shirts. “It’s Blue, what else matters?” as the memorable ad campaign (the one with the blue paint) said over a decade ago now. But there’s keeping it simple in a classy way — as Nike themselves showed with that tremendous FA Cup 50th Anniversary shirt — and then there’s keeping it simple in a “who gives a [FUN]” way. If that adidas ad campaign in 2014 posited that Chelsea fans would buy a home shirt sight unseen just knowing that it was blue, Nike’s current third shirt figures that Chelsea fans would buy any old crap as long as it’s billed “a Chelsea shirt”. Behold: some black polyester, straight out of the seconds pile at the factory floor, rejected as training shirts, even. And where’s the World Champions badge going to go? A generous view of this design might say that it borrows from Nike’s own Brazil kits in the early 2000s — and they teased it with those Nike Total 90 balls from the same time, with the marketing also doling out nostalgia about the 2004-05 Chelsea season and Nike’s Total 90 era in general — but to me this is little more than throwaway garbage.

Vesper 30,589 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Chelsea Adjusts Club World Cup Badge Placement for Premier League Season https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/08/Chelsea-adjusts-club-world-cup-badge-placement-for-premier-league-season.html Badge Repositioning: Chelsea has adjusted the placement of their FIFA Club World Cup badge on their Premier League kit, moving it higher on the chest compared to its position during pre-season. Sporting iD Instruction: The badge's relocation was directed by Sporting iD, the Premier League's badge manufacturer, to ensure the FIFA badge doesn't overshadow the club crest. Fan Dissatisfaction: The new badge position has been met with controversy among supporters, who find the higher placement awkward and prefer the design of previous Club World Cup badges. Chelsea took to the pitch for their opening Premier League match with a noticeable change to their kit that differed from what was seen during their pre-season tour. The gold FIFA Club World Cup champion badge has been repositioned on the chest. During pre-season matches, the gold CWC badge was positioned centrally, sitting directly between the Nike Swoosh and the Chelsea club crest. However, for the official start of the Premier League season, the badge has been moved higher up on the chest, now placed centrally above the two logos. Image via chuyenaodau The adjustment was not an arbitrary decision by the club. According to reports, the change was made following official instructions from Sporting iD, the manufacturer of the badges for the Premier League. The rationale for pushing the badge higher is to prevent the prominent FIFA badge from overshadowing the club's own crest, giving both elements more visual space. Despite the intention, the new placement has stirred controversy among supporters. Many feel the higher position looks awkward or unbalanced. This discussion is often linked to the general dissatisfaction with the current circular CWC badge compared to the more traditional, and fan-favorite, shield-shaped version used in previous years, which many believe was better designed and easier to integrate into a kit's layout. Following their win in the historic first Club World Cup with the new format, Chelsea will have the badge on their kit for the next four seasons.

All 3 this season are hits for me. But this one looks awesome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
