Ranked! Every Premier League 2024/25 kit, from worst to best
We rank every Premier League kit this season, from the eye sores to the wonders - and everything in between
10. Brighton home
Thinner stripes, interspersed with faded pinstripes in between, help to create a completely different, modernised version of Brighton's iconic home kit - and we love it. It's an extremely clean looking kit that would work just as well as a fashion piece as it does on the football pitch.
Just as long as Fabian Hurzeler is telling you how to wear it...
9. Aston Villa third
Phwoar. Navy blue, metallic accents, black detailing. It's impossible to find a fault with this Aston Villa third kit. Both futuristic and retro at the same time, the kit looks even better on the pitch.
It's just as well Unai Emery's men managed to secure a 3-0 victory against Young Boys on their return to the Champions League in their first outing with the kit, otherwise the stunning kit might've held bad omens in future games.
8. Fulham away
Red often features on Fulham change kits, but rarely to such great effect. Danny Murphy became synonymous for Fulham fans in a similar looking 2007/08 away kit, as he bagged a last-minute winner against Manchester City that season to keep their survival hopes alive.
Will Tom Cairney produce the same this term? Marco Silva will be hoping it won't come to that. But, if something similar happens at the Etihad Stadium on October 5, don't say we didn't warn you...
7. Aston Villa home
Villa wave goodbye to Castore and welcome in the new Adidas era to great aplomb, with this extremely clean kit everything fans would've hoped for.

Claret and blue is a popular colour combination, and our voters believed this had no airs and graces about it - consistent high scores all round, and for good reason.
6. Brentford away
Pink kits aren't often received how clubs would hope for (Southampton, we're looking at you), but Brentford have managed to pull off this number much better than anyone could've anticipated.
The pink certainly isn't an eye-sore, instead a duller version that of course stands out, but doesn't cause retinal damage at the same time. Purple accents help create a lovely contrast that managed to catch the eyes of our judging panel.
That button-down collar is sublime, too.
5. Crystal Palace home
There's being bold, and then there's this. In order to make something a lot more arty and unique than what has previously featured on the Crystal Palace home kit, designers understood that taking a risk was essential - and it's certainly paid off. Eagle motfis have become the vertical stripes, helping create that wavy pattern that initially looks like your two-year-old toddler has had a hard time staying between the lines.
Some especially high scores from our critical judges, though that didn't stop one issuing a six. Boo.
4. Bournemouth home
It's clearly the year of paying homage to previous season, as Bournemouth's home kit celebrates the kit worn a decade ago in their successful promotion-winning campaign from the Championship. The thick red and black stripes are a welcome return from recent thin stripes, while the gold Umbro logo and pinstripes give obvious hints to winning.
For a minute, just imagine that 'bj88' sponsor didn't exist. What a masterpiece we'd then be looking at.
3. West Ham home
In FourFourTwo's opinion, West Ham have won the claret and blue war this time out, with the Hammer's home effort a retro-inspired banger. There's a classic ringer collar and cuffs that look amazing whenever Jarrod Bowen is hitting the back of the net, in a design that Bobby Moore and Co. wouldn't have felt out of place wearing 60 years ago.
Changing the colour of the badge clearly works, too, if pulled off correctly. Chelsea, take note of your London rivals, please!
2. Manchester City away
Paul Dickov. Gillingham. Wembley Stadium. 1999. Division Two play-off final. With the score 2-0 to Gillingham heading into stoppage time, it seemed Manchester City were consigned to another season in the third tier of English football. Dickov had other ideas, scoring in the 95th-minute to send the game to extra-time and then penalties, which City duly won.
But while City fans now have the luxury of Erling Haaland bagging a hat-full of goals, the importance of Dickov's goal at Wembley hasn't been lost on fans old enough to remember. So, 25 years on, there was only one way to commemorate that goal - with a near-identical shirt paying homage to the moment, of course!
Two 8s, two 9s and two 10s show this shirt has been received exceptionally well, regardless.
1. Newcastle away
On the pitch, Newcastle United are cool. Really, really cool. 30 years ago David Ginola, Faustino Asprilla and Les Ferdinand were tearing apart opposition defenders on their own turf in a navy blue and maroon-hooped shirt. Fast-forward to the modern day, and Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali are set to do the exact same.
In another retro-inspired kit, the latest version of the Newcastle away shirt has been modernised - but the resemblance is uncanny. The white collar remains, while the hoops are slightly thicker than what was worn in 1995/96. Adidas had to do something to update what many regard as the greatest kit of all time in their return to manufacturing for the North East side - and they've duly pulled it off.
Two tens and two nines - there was only ever going to be one winner for 2024/25. All we're waiting for now is Harvey Barnes to grow a flowing ponytail to dance around his marker. One can only dream.
