The Sun has received some leaked photos of the new Chelsea kit.  Not too bad in my opinion.  Has more of a retro look to it, and it’s simple.  Two things that I personally like to see in a kit.

Positioned on a solid field of blue, the collar is designed slightly different than in previous versions of the kit and is white with a touch of yellow around the edges.  The yellow around the collar is complimented nicely with the yellow piping along the bottom of the sleeves.  Overall a nice kit that pays tribute to the Chelsea teams before.

As with most teams in this day and age, Wigan Athletic decided to have a third kit, or alternative kit. Usually these kits hold little comparison to the home and away kits, and typically do not match the color scheme of the club. This however is not one of those times.

Starting with a solid field of navy blue, Umbro did not crowd the kit with too much aside from the blue down the sides and the white and blue around the shoulders and collar. Some clubs third kits look too busy or too extreme. Wigan Athletic’s third kit looks like another away kit, it’s simple and matches the color scheme with the navy blue. I like the third kit, maybe officials with the club should ditch their home kit and just use this during home matches. Just a thought.

For the away kit that Wigan Athletic will wear during the 2007-08 season is a stark contrast from the away kits they wore during the 2006-07 campaign. Going from a solid black kit to a solid white kit is about as different as you can get, and I like the newer away kit much more than previous versions.

Like other teams that utilize an all white kit for away matches, Umbro and Wigan Athletic kept it simple by only putting a couple of navy blue stripes down the sides and blue around the collar and sleeves. Aside from that and the typical crest and logos there is not much to this kit. Simplicity is what makes a great kit look great, and this kit is a great looking kit. Job well done on this kit.

Wigan Athletic took a page from their recent history with the design of their 2007-08 Home Kits. Utilizing the same blue and white vertical stripes from the 2005-06 campaign, Wigan and Umbro teamed up to make a nice looking kit for all home matches. This kit is a definite improvement from last years solid blue with white shoulders, but is not as original as I would have liked it.

Umbro does not have an issue with bad kits, in fact I would venture to say that their most recent kits are the best out there. This kit is no different, but it does not take a lot to make vertical stripes look good. What I do like about it is the spacing and layout of the stripes, too many can make it look horrible. Umbro did the right amount and made a nice looking kit, just would have liked to have seen something a little more original.

Like many of the other clubs that recently switched from Reebok as their kit manufacturer, West Ham United went another direction in manufacturer and color. Completely switching from a navy blue away kit to an all white away kit is something that is worth looking at, and in my opinion is 100% better.

Simplicity is the key, and simple is what Umbro and West Ham United managed to do with this kit. With a solid field of white, little was done to make this kit have too much going on. Add the burgandy and light blue to a few diamonds on the shoulders and that is really all there is to it. Aside from the crest, Umbro logo and sponsor log (which is the same light blue as the shoulders and crest), there is not really much else to it. Which is why it is one of the best looking kits in the Premiership this season. Great work on this one Umbro and West Ham United!

West Ham United will venture into the 2007-08 Premiership Campaign in a stylish kit made by Umbro. Using the color scheme from the traditional West Ham United Crest, Umbro and West Ham management came up with an exceptional looking kit that is sure to be a crowd pleaser over the course of the season.

With the traditional burgandy playing the role of main color and the sleeves being highlighted with the light blue of the outline of the crest makes this a kit worth looking at. Add a couple of the Umbro diamonds on the shoulders, the West Ham United Crest on the left chest, Umbro logo on the right chest and the sponsor logo in all white (which brings out the white in the colloar and shoulders nicely) and you have one of the nicest West Ham United kits in a long time.

There are not many teams in sports throughout the world that can say they have played for 125 years. In 2007, the Tottenham Hotspurs celebrated that exact feat. Playing the game for 125 years warranted some form of tribute. Of course there are the books, video’s and other merchandise, but what about the players that wanted to pay tribute to the club and their amazing run? That’s where the Anniversay kit comes into play.

Released in 2007, the kit is a combination of white and light blue. White on the right, light blue on the left and all the logos that are standard on the home, away and third kits. This should have been the third kit for the 2007-08 campaign, however I do not make the decisions here. As a tribute I think it is more than appropriate, I think it is timeless. Puma and Tottenham really nailed this one, I think this jersey will be a best seller in all of the Premiership, and here’s wishing the Tottenham Hotspurs another 125 Years.

As with most of the third kits that teams have, this kit that is the Alternative for Tottenham is nothing like the home or the away kits. In fact the third kit is nothing more than the Goal Keeper kit for the home and away matches. Puma took a solid gold top, added the logos and that was it. Though different, it was still simple.

I like the creativeness that goes into the creation of a third kit. It has to be something that is different than the home and away, and typically has very little reference to the color scheme of the club itself. This is no different than any other time. The gold comes from out of nowhere, and actually is better suited to be a Keeper kit than a third kit. I think Puma and Tottenham missed on this one.

Simple must have been the theme when the Hotspur’s management sat down with Puma to figure out the 2007-08 season’s kits. The away kit is just as simple as the home kit. Positioned on a solid field of Navy Blue, the sponsor logo again stands out because of the red and gold. This time the white of the sponsor name brings out the rest of the highlights of the kit, the Puma logo on the right chest and the traditional Tottenham logo on the left chest with 125 Years underneath.

This is an extremely nice looking kit, some might say it is plain, but I think the simpler the better. This kit has a collar that adds a nice touch, however the newer collars like this one can sometimes take away from the kit itself. By keeping it the same color, Puma has made it less noticeable. Which is the way it should be.

The Tottenham Hotspurs have been playing the beautiful game for 125 years, an amazing feat to say the least. When they take the pitch during the home matches it will be a simple white Puma kit. This kit is as simple as it can possibly get with a Premiership team and the sponsors that are involved. In a field of all white, the only color that is noticed is the red inside the logo fo the sponsor, everything is the traditional Navy Blue.

One nice touch for all the kits for the 2007-08 campaign for the Spurs is the 125 Years logo on the left chest. This tribute is something that every club in the world hopes to one day be able to do. Nice work on this simple yet classic looking kit.

During the 2007-08 Premiership Campaign, when Sunderland travels to other places, they will be wearing a simplistic white kit from Umbro. This is a change from the previous season that saw Sunderland in a light blue for away matches. This plain white kit has a few black and red markings on the shoulder and collar area, but really is nothing more than a plain white jersey.

I have always said that I like the simple kits, and it does not get much more simple than this one. Umbro took a classic looking kit, added the Sunderland Crest and made it timeless. Great work again by the folks at Umbro and Sunderland.

When Roy Keane brings his team to play in front of the home fans, they will be wearing the same design on their kits as previous years. The red and white vertical stripes have become a staple with Sunderland, and no need to stop something that is working so well. With Umbro on board as the kit manufacturer, the task was easy on the home kit…do the same thing as previous years. The only difference is Umbro has designed a few of the “diamonds” on the shoulders that are so conducive with the Umbro logo.

I like this kit, granted nothing has changed in a while. When a club takes their badge or crest and makes the kit resemble that, it shows pride in the team and their loyalty to the crest. Sunderland has done just that with the red and white vertical stripes. Everything looks in place and I give all the respect for it to Umbro and Sunderland. Great work.

The Royals will use a third kit that is a complete opposite from both the home and away kits, which is usually the case. This burgandy Puma kit is flanked with gold down the left side and gold stitching throughout. The color scheme does not match anything within the Reading badge, yet still manages to flow nicely with it.

Again Puma and Reading have created a nice, simple, kit. This kit is one that the fans and players will be happy to see on the pitch. The color scheme and design work flawlessly together, now let’s just hope that Reading can get that same flawlessness on the pitch.

Even when travelling to competitors venue for away games, Reading will have the touch of home with them. The 2007-08 away kits are the exact same top as the home kit, just a different set of colors. Utilizing the great looking black and grey combination, Reading and Puma have made another good looking kit. Not as nice as the home kit, but definitely one worth looking at, after all we have seen some terrible ones.

The only thing that really stands out at me with this top is the color combination between the sponsor logo and the Reading badge. That catches my eye on an otherwise colorless jersey. However it is simple, and I like simple, so I think Puma and Reading did a nice job on this kit as well.
