Analysis of the New Premier League Uniforms 2025-26

Although the new Premier League season still seems far away, it’s the perfect time to analyze the new uniforms that the teams will wear in the 2025-26 campaign. Some of the most important clubs have already presented their designs, offering a wide range of styles and concepts.

The inspiration for this season’s designs ranges from iconic stadiums to local shopping centers, through Victorian civic infrastructure and Britain’s main waterways. Here’s a detailed analysis of the new uniforms, from the least appealing to the most outstanding.

13. Tottenham Hotspur (Home – Nike)

11. Brighton & Hove Albion (Home – Nike)

Despite a high-fashion launch, the Seagulls’ uniform features the traditional blue and white stripes, this time with mint turquoise details, inspired by the roots of the city’s promenade.

10. Chelsea (Away – Nike)

The Blues will play away again with white, although the orange and blue details from last season have been replaced. The green and red details refer to the club’s away shirt in the 1974-75 season.

9. Tottenham Hotspur (Away – Nike)

With the motto “In the darkness, we dare”, this all-black design features a dark gray grid pattern. Although it’s slightly more interesting than the home shirt, it’s not a design that stands out.

8. Manchester City (Home – Puma)

The light blue jersey features a diagonal cloud-shaped stripe that appears to float on the front. It might seem like a preliminary design, but if Pep Guardiola’s team achieves victories with it, the fans won’t mind.

7. Wolverhampton Wanderers (Home – South)

The angular design was constructed from digital scans of local civic buildings, such as the columned facade of Chelsea Old Town Hall.

5. Manchester United (Home – Adidas)

After a disappointing season, United hopes a new uniform will bring an improvement in their performance. This design is quite traditional, with a red base and black and white details. The material contains a subtle reference to Old Trafford through dots and stripes that reflect the markings of the field, the benches, and the stands of the “Theater of Dreams”.

4. Arsenal (Home – Adidas)

The Gunners maintain their traditional combination of red with white sleeves, with the only notable adornment being the club’s gothic “A” symbol, incorporated into a pattern on the fabric. The “A” first appeared on Arsenal’s old “Victoria Concordia Crescit” crest in the late 1940s and offers an elegant nod to the club’s heritage.

3. Newcastle United (Home – Adidas)

The addition of the motto “Howay the Lads” on the back of the neck is an additional element that makes this shirt unmistakably Newcastle.

2. Everton (Home – Castore)

Everton With a new stadium, Everton has created a kit directly inspired by the 52,000-seat stadium. The royal blue home shirt features an all-over wave pattern, representing the River Mersey that flows alongside their new waterfront home. A simple and effective design that has meaning.

1. Newcastle United (Third Kit – Adidas)

This uniform is a modern version of the classic design from the 1997-98 season, with a combination of dark blue, green, and gold. Although it lacks some unique details of the original, the color palette remains attractive and the retro logo adds a touch of elegance.
