Every 2026/27 Premier League kit ranked: All 20 strips rated from best to worst

The 2026/27 Premier League season kicks off with a new kit for every one of the 20 teams. Arsenal, the defending champions, have three impressive kits this season. Their home kits are familiar, but their away kit drawing inspiration from the 1991 'bruised banana' colors is special. Manchester United continues their good form with a superb design, featuring proper collars reminiscent of France's recent success at the World Cup.

The away colors of Ipswich Town are eye-catching, inspired by the away kits of previous decades. Nottingham Forest's bold color and pattern choice, influenced by their pre-match anthem, 'Mull Of Kintyre', is well-received. Brighton opts for simple, sleek stripes, with their third kit being a unique design inspired by the colors of the waters surrounding the city.

Coventry City's return to the Premier League is marked by a distinctive home kit and an appealing away kit. Leeds United has two solid kits this season, possibly topping the list if not for the overpowering Red Bull logo. Manchester City has taken a lighter shade of blue, which works well with their bee imprints on the away kit, honoring Manchester's symbol.

Everton presents two unassuming yet stylish designs, with the away kit featuring blue and yellow stripes. Tottenham's home kit is classic, but the away jersey elicits divided opinions. Chelsea's blue and black kits grow on you, boasting a minimal design, though the central badge detracts from the overall appearance. Aston Villa's main home jersey is impressive, while their third kit features a mosaic design of Villa Park.

Brentford showcases three kits with varying design elements, with the second one featuring subtle stripes. Bournemouth's home kit displays a strong red-and-black identity, but their away kit is expected to be heavily discounted in the club shop. Liverpool's kits are rarely visually appealing, with the home jersey featuring an unfortunate bus seat pattern.

However, their away kit is clean and tasteful. Hull City's return to the Premier League features a vintage-style home kit with a large white collar, while their away kit has a 1990s vibe. Sunderland's home kit is simple and decent, but their away kit is controversial, drawing inspiration from the Elvis Presley song "Can't Help Falling in Love."

Crystal Palace's home kit caused genuine anger among fans due to its unsightly appearance, though the away kit is an improvement. Newcastle United's home shirt is widely considered one of the worst kits in Premier League history, with a solid away kit failing to redeem it.
