Premier League top 5 kits for 2024-25 season

2024-25 Premier League Kits

The 2024-25 Premier League season is kicking off on August 16 and as ever, clubs in England's top flight have been whetting their fans' appetites by releasing a slate of new kits for the upcoming campaign with inspiration drawn from a bewildering array of sources including ancient African art, birds of prey, inland waterways and molten metal.

While some away and third alternate kits are yet to be released, there are already plenty out there to pore over, as all 20 clubs have released at least one of their uniforms so far.

Here we rank top 5 Premier League club's 2024-25 kits with their outfield home, away and third designs taken into consideration as one collective entry. Each club's combined output has then been ranked from 5-1.

But, with several kits still to be unveiled over the coming days, that order could change. So keep checking back here to see the latest kits added as they are released, and see how they impact the ranking.

5. Crystal Palace (Macron) 

Home: Palace are again keen to show the world that graphic design is their passion. They have replaced the unusual architectural print found on last season's half-and-half design with a zany red-and-blue stripe pattern made up of interlocking and overlapping eagles' wings. It's totally over the top, but in a good way.

Away: The club's winged spirit animal takes centre-stage on their bright yellow away jersey, which sees the eagle motif appear as an enlarged graphic suffused within the fabric. It's equally as over-the-top as the home kit, but again we feel like they've gotten away with it

4. Manchester City (Puma)

Home: With a tape trim bearing the local 0161 dialling code, City's new home kit is designed to be steeped in Mancunian municipal culture. The concept kind of begins and ends there, though, but that's fine as it means the shirt isn't over-cluttered with details and is all the better for it.

Away: The shirt marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in the Club’s history as it pays homage to the kit worn during an unforgettable comeback on 30 May 1999, when City triumphed over Gillingham in the Second Division Play-Off final in dramatic fashion.

Third: City's smart third kit sees a return to burgundy, a colour regularly sported by the club on and off since the 1950s. The curved pattern worked into the fabric is taken from the billowing ship sails found on the club crest, which were originally adopted from the City of Manchester's heraldic coat of arms in 1960. The golden trim sets things off perfectly.

3. Arsenal (Adidas)

Home: Revealed back in May, Arsenal's latest home shirt continues a run of solid designs made for the club by Adidas. The Gunners' traditional template remains the same, but the return of the old cannon emblem to the chest is a #classytouch.

Away: Arsenal's black away shirt is an ode to British-African heritage and specifically the continent's diaspora in North London that makes up part of the club's fan base. The red-and-green trim details come from the Pan-African flag, while the hand-drawn zigzag graphic down the arms and flanks adds extra flair. It's daring and different, and is sure to fly off the shelves this season.

Third: Arsenal's latest design is a modern take on the beloved 90s iconic kits with a bold, fashionable design, combined with a hint of nostalgia. A smart, crew neck collar and matching sleeve detailing complement the elegance of the adidas trefoil -used to mark the brand's 75th anniversary - and the cannon to create a vibrant, eye-catching look.

2. Manchester United (Adidas)

Home: The main body of this jersey has a gradient effect that goes from a bright, tomato red at the neck through to a deeper shade at the hem. The visual effect is meant to replicate the shirts worn by the "Busby Babes" side of the 1950s, whose synthetic rayon jerseys were said to shimmer under the Old Trafford floodlights. We can only assume the original shirts didn't also have the logo of the club's official "digital transformation partners" affixed to the sleeves.

Away: No, this is not the new uniform of England's one-day international cricket team, despite appearances. United have gone back to the 1990, when they regularly turned out in blue away kits. The 2024-25 version is officially listed as "indigo" and has an "M" monogram woven into the material as well as a wavy collar detail that represents the three main waterways that flow through the industrial heart of Manchester

1. Newcastle United (Adidas)

Home: Adidas supplied Newcastle's kits for 15 years from the mid-1990s to 2010. For its return this season it has furnished the club with a revamp of one of the classics from that era -- the 2002-03 home kit, with its broad stripes and large, dual-tone V-neck collar. After a sequence of duds in recent years, it's good to see the Magpies looking sharp again.

Away: The classic navy and burgundy horizontal stripes, contrasting a contemporary monochromatic club crest, distinguishing it from its 90s predecessor. 

Third: The nostalgia angle is worked even harder here, with Newcastle unveiling a updated design of their popular white, green and black away kit from 1999-2000. There are extra retro points for the 1970s club crest. Like the shade of green chosen for it, this kit is mint!
