5 Best PL Shirts – 2021/22 season

admin

It really shouldn’t encourage as much debate as the first sight of the fixture list or whether Manchester City will sign Jack Grealish, yet the fact is that very little sets fans’ tongues wagging quite like the arrival of the new season’s kits.

And, judging by the kaleidoscope of colours and range of designs on offer for 2021-22, this season’s wardrobe is sure to split opinions among supporters of the top-flight clubs.

Here are some of the more eye-catching offerings.

Everton’s Away Kit

This one is not exactly a secret given that Everton wore their ‘Black Watch’ number at Manchester City on the final weekend of last season.

The Hummel-designed kit – black with a burnt orange sash – is an homage to a time before Everton’s famous Royal Blue, to 1881-82 and the ‘Black Watch’ strip.

So far it’s not brought the Toffees much luck as that match at City ended in a 5-0 loss and manager Carlo Ancelotti swiftly departed to Real Madrid, but let’s hope that was just a coincidence.

Southampton’s Home Kit

The Saints went through their nostalgia period last season with sashes across the front of the shirt and an away kit that made them look like a poor man’s Peru.

They’re at it again for the 2021-22 campaign, only this time, perhaps anxious about being upstaged by red-and-white-striped newcomers Brentford, they have returned to familiar territory.

The marketing folk at Hummel tell us that this year’s home kit has been inspired by the club’s 2001-02 shirt, marking 20 years since the Saints left The Dell.

Manchester United’s Away Kit

You can almost see George Best wheeling away after grabbing his sixth goal against Northampton in this retro number from the team at Adidas.

That’s the look that United are determined to embrace, although it will stick in the craw of older Red Devils’ diehards if anyone even mentions Paul Pogba in the same breath as Denis Law.

As noteworthy as anything else, of course, is the new sponsor’s name emblazoned across the front with TeamViewer writ large after seven years with Chevrolet.

Crystal Palace’s Third Kit

Or, at first glance, what looks suspiciously like a Blackburn home shirt. No matter, though, because it’s a mighty fine kit.

Again, it’s all about going back to Palace’s roots with this sky blue-and-white number celebrating the origins of the south London club 160 years ago.

The Puma design is based on the colours worn by the first ever team from the Crystal Palace club, which was originally set up by cricketers who wanted to stay fit during the winter months.

Tottenham’s Away Kit

For all the good, of course, you can’t help but acknowledge the kits that don’t quite hit the spot, which brings us nicely to Tottenham’s away uniform, featuring a shirt that is unlikely to divide opinions on the grounds that surely no one will like it.

It’s hard to know what the team at Nike were thinking when they set to work on this. Maybe there was just a malfunction with their paintbox but it’s resulted in something that doesn’t look too dissimilar to a train seat. To dare is to do, I guess.
