Nottingham Forest’s 08-09 home kit is, very, very nice - bright red base with limited white trim on the collar and sleeves. the Capital One logo is inconspicuous (a good thing if the logo is average to begin with) and Umbro have kept the shirt simple which works quite well given the color scheme:

Blackburn’s 08/09 away shirt has a navy blue base with royal blue trim on the collar and sleeve ends and white and royal blue strips running down the center of the shirt (broken by the CP logo).
You have to see it to believe it, but I think Umbro have done an excellent job with the away kit and come up with a progressive shirt design that perfectly accommodates the Crown Paints logo.
Blackburn’s 08/09 home shirt, designed by Umbro, sees the Rovers move to new sponsors Crown Paints.
Hull City’s 08/09 home kit sees a return to the historical amber and black stripes as the Tigers celebrate their first ever season in the English Premier League.
Birmingham City’s 08/09 away kit is a cross between last season’s 3 kits - a white top (away) with a red vertical panel in the middle (color: third, style: home).
It makes for a decent-looking kit but when taken in conjunction with the home kit and comparing the two with last year’s kits you can’t help but get the feeling that they saved money on the creative process this season and churned out average looking shirts.

Birmingham City’s 08/09 home kit sees Umbro make a return to all blue, with an imposing white collar added along with white-rimmed sleeves and splashes on the side.
It’s less impressive than last season’s kit but is a solid shirt nevertheless.

Hull City’s 08/09 away kit is an excellent design by Umbro - all gray (or flint, as they officially call it) with amber and black trim. The Hull City crest is in the center (with the Umbro patch above it) and the shirt is sponsored by Kingston Communcation.

Sunderland’s 08/09 away kit is due to be launched on 8th July 2008. The official description reads like this:
“The new Umbro away kit design for the 08/09 Premier League season features a V-necked shirt with broad royal and navy blue stripes, teamed with navy blue shorts with a royal and white trim. The socks are royal and navy hoops.”
In one word - smashing.

West Brom’s 08/09 away kit is yellowish gold with black (green?) trim - some people have objected to the kit colors for resembling those of their rivals Wolves, but to me it’s a good away shirt for the Premier League and the fans will warm up to it once they see it worn by the players.

West Brom celebrate their return to the big time with new home and away kits for the 2008/2009 season. The 08/09 home kit is the traditional navy blue and white stripes, with the Umbro logo and West Brom crest taking up their usual positions. I especially like the collar on this kit - imposing and stylish.

West Ham’s 08/09 away kit is strikingly blue and refreshingly so. The sponsors’ XL logo takes center stage in white with claret and white stripes running horizontally on below the neck (claret) with the Umbro logo on the right and West Ham crest on the left.
Some people have criticised this kit but I think Umbro have done an excellent job with this design and the West Ham 08/09 away kit is one of the better ones around (especially when matched up against the likes of the Liverpool away kit).

Everton’s 08/09 away kit photo has been leaked. I have to say, it’s a smart kit and a lot better than Everton’s 08/09 home kit.

The Sunderland home shirt for the 08/09 season went on sale last month.
They’ve done a good job with this year’s version - the black blends in nicely with the traditional red and white and gives the the shirt an imposing aura that was missing from last season’s kit.
The new Saints 08/09 home kit was announced recently, with the shirt up for pre-order from the official Southampton online store and due to be launched on Friday 13 June 2008.
