Manchester City 2007-08 Away Kit

As I have mentioned before, I am a fan of Manchester City’s color scheme. The purple is a nice touch, but should never be the main color for a kit. Thus is the case with Manchester City’s away kit for the 2007-08 season. Utilizing the same style kit as the home, but purple, makes this one of the kits in the premiership that I can not stand, but to each their own I guess.

Let me clarify, I am all for teams wanting to have some flare and change things up a little bit. That’s fine with me, but I am just not a fan of the all purple jersey. The only thing that is perhaps saving this kit is the white pinstripes and the elegantly large crest of Manchester City in the middle chest. But they are not enough to really advert your attention from the all purple top. I guess not every team can have a great away kit.

Manchester City 2007-08 Home Kit

The start of the 2007-08 Premiership campaign saw a few changes for Manchester City. The most well documented was the signing of former England Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. But one that was not very well publicized, because not many people care about it, was the termination of the kit manufacturer Reebok. Like their friends in Anfield, Manchester City started with a new kit manufacturer for the current season. And they did great work with their kits.

I have always been a fan of Manchester City’s colors, the baby blue with the white a purple are a great combination. The home kit consists of the baby blue top with small white pin stripes on everything but the sleeves and shoulders. Add the Le Coq Sportiff logo on the upper right shoulder, the Manchester City Crest in the center above the sponsors logo and you have a spectacular looking home kit.

Liverpool 2007-08 Away Euro Kit

Over the years I have always said there were a few teams that I would love to see in black kits. Liverpool was one of them, and until this year it was nothing more than a thought. Well Adidas and Liverpool made that a reality with their new Away European Kit. A black top with unique red markings on the front and back make this a great looking kit. Add the Liverpool crest in the center of the chest as opposed to the left chest as normal and you have one more piece of uniqueness.

Adidas and Liverpool could have gone overboard with this particular kit, however they managed to keep it flashy yet simple. The color scheme works perfect together, and it just shows that Adidas and Liverpool knew what they were doing this year. This kit provides them with the Hat Trick for nice kits. Great work again.

Liverpool 2007-08 Away Kit

When Liverpool travels outside of Anfield this season, they will face off with their opponents wearing another nice kit from Adidas. Taking a solid field of white and adding some unique red markings on the front and back make this a great looking kit. Add the traditional three stripes down the sleeves and throw in the Carlsberg logo and the Liverpool Crest; there you have another perfect kit from Adidas.

The only issue I have with this particular kit is that is almost too busy, however Adidas put the right amount of flare in it and kept it from becoming an eye sore. Well done on this kit as well.

Liverpool 2006-08 Home Kit

In 2006, Liverpool and manufacturer Reebok parted ways after many years of working together. The boys from Anfield were becoming one of the Premiership’s top teams, so a new kit was in order, and who did they call? Adidas. Taking the traditional solid field of red, adding a new version of a collar, white pipe like stripes, and the traditional three stripes on the sleeves and Adidas once again produced a top notch kit.

In terms of a kit, it does not get much better than what Adidas has been putting out all over the world. One nice touch that I like on all of Liverpool’s kits is the color of the sponsor’s logo. It matches perfectly with the white and green in the Liverpool Crest. Well done Adidas and Liverpool, this is sure to be a top seller all over the world.

Fulham 2007-08 Third Kit

After a dull design on the Away kit, Nike and Fulham both redeemed themselves with this kit. Officially being called the “Third Kit”, I would hope that it will get more time than the official away kit. This simple kit utilizes a color that is not in the scheme of traditional Fulham colors. This powder blue is only broken up by the Fulham badge on the usual left chest position, and the sponsor logo in the usual center position.

The features that really make this a classic kit are the color and the simplicity. The color is out of the ordinary for a Fulham squad, and the simplicity keeps the kit clean and looking sharp. To me it would replace the official away kit today…but I do not get to make that call. Would be nice if they at least called and asked my opinion.

Fulham 2007-08 Away Kit

Fulham and Nike collaborated again to find the perfect away kit for the 2007-08 season. This however was not the perfect kit. Utilizing vertical stripes of red and black, Fulham left a lot to be desired with this kit. There is nothing that jumps out at me and say’s “this is a great looking kit”. To me it is just another team that is trying to be Newcastle with their kit.

Aside from the poor design, the colors do match the Fulham badge perfectly. Thus creating a seemless transition for the fan wondering what team is playing. Personally I think there was a little more that Fulham could have done with this kit, but this is what they will wear, so we must accept it.

Fulham 2007-08 Home Kit

When Fulham walk onto their home pitch this season, it will be in a classic looking Nike top. Together, Fulham and Nike, designed an instant classic with its clean white background that is not bothered by any other colors. With the traditional Fulham badge on the left chest and the sponsor’s logo in the center of the top it makes for a simple yet elegant kit.

One nice feature that could have been done by complete accident is the logo of the sponsor is the same red as in the Fulham badge. This might be a coincedence, but it adds a nice touch. To top off this classic kit, Nike incorporated a collar…a real collar. This is something that many manufacturers have gone away from, thus giving this kit a unique look.

Everton 2007-08 Third Kit

After having two nearly perfect kits for Home and Away matches, one could ask the question of why Everton would even bother with a Third Kit. To test the limits of color schemes, that’s why. With the addition of this spectacular looking Third Jersey, Everton has once again created a dynasty among kits for this season. Taking their classic color of Royal blue and using it as a highlight with white in certain areas of an all Navy top makes this one of the nicest color combinations I have ever seen.

One nice touch on this kit is the Everton Crest. It is shown with the Blue background and really makes the light touches of the blue throughout the top really jump out. This kit is one of the nicest I have seen thus far, and Everton and Umbro completed the hat trick with their third nice kit of the campaign.

Everton 2007-08 Away Kit

Utilizing the same kit as Everton wears at home, the away kit is positioned on a solid field of white. There are a couple black markings around the collar and one black Umbro logo, the other Umbro logo is a faded grey and is a nice touch. The Everton Crest is positioned on the left chest as always and has no color added to it, making the top a black and white affair for away matches.

Not being related to the kit itself, however the sponsor logo is in green which does not go with the kit at all and really offsets an otherwise flawless kit. With that aside this kit is just as nice as the home kit if not better. Everton and Umbro once again created something worth seeing.

Everton 2007-08 Home Kit

Umbro has always made great kits, and with the recent kits that National Teams and Clubs alike have worn it seems as that tradition is going to continue. Well Everton wears Umbro kits, and this season they will be wearing one of the nicest looking kits in the Premiership. A solid blue top with few white markings and a couple of Umbro logos on the right chest and right sleeve is all that this kit requires. Add the classic Everton Crest and the sponsor in the center in an all white logo and you have a spectacular home kit.

Everton has long been known as one of the Premier Clubs in the world, and respectively have always had simple, yet timeless kits. Umbro and Everton were right on the money with this home kit.

Derby County 2007-08 Away Kit

When Derby County travles outside of Pride Park stadium, they will play in a great looking kit made by Adidas. With the same design as the home kit only in solid black, Adidas and Derby County once again presented the fans and opponents alike with a timeless kit. The three stripes down the sleeves, Derby County Badge on the left chest and a great looking sponsor logo in the middle makes this a kit that anyone would like.

With the likes of Chelsea and their God Awful looking away kit, it is refreshing to see that some clubs still like to keep it simple and clean. Another great kit by Derby County.

I have also see pictures of them wearing a traditional yellow third kit, however I could not locate it on their website. Maybe it was a one time affair.

Derby County 2007-08 Home Kit

With the start of the 2007-08 Premiership campaign, Derby County switched kit manufacturers from Joma to the world leader named Adidas. With this new kit provider on board, everyone was anxious to see how the new kits would look, and Adidas did not disappoint. Taking the teams of the past into consideration, Adidas started with a solid field of white and kept it simple. The traditional three stripes down the arms and the Derby County Badge on the left chest makes this kit clean and respectable.

The clean look of the kit makes it possible to have any type of sponsor on the front of the jersey look good. For Derby County however, the Derbyshire logo is impeciably placed and classy looking. Overall and extremely nice looking kit.

Chelsea 2007-08 Third Kit

From the depths of the kit pool comes the Third Kit that Chelsea will wear during the 2007-08 campaign. This top is more like the away kits of old, before the “Electricity Yellow” came into the scene. Adidas and Chelsea took a solid white top and added the traditional Adidas stripes down the arms in black, several symetrical markings of the Chelsea blue, the badge on the left chest, sponsor logo in the middle in the same blue and as a retro look…a collar. A real collar. Something you do not see too often with kits these days. On the back of the collar is “Chelsea FC”, a nice touch to a nice jersey.

I really like this particular kit. It has a classic feel and personally I think it should have been the away kit, and the club could have used the yellow highlighter kit as their third set. Regardless I think Adidas and Chelsea were right on when they designed this particular kit.

Chelsea 2007-08 Away Kit

Chelsea has always been known for their traditional kits, from their solid blues at home matches, to the white they wear at opposing sides stadiums. But for the 2007-08 season, the away kit is anything but traditional. Utilizing a color known as “Electricity Yellow”, Chelsea and Adidas have rewritten the books on kit color schemes. This electric kit is nothing more than the yellow with black markings, logos and the Adidas stripes down the arms.

Now I would not be truthful if I said that I liked this kit. I do not, however it is growing on me the more I see it. For me it is too flashy and has too much going on, but again it is growing on me. Chelsea has long been a club that provides their fans with electricity on the pitch, well now you too can have the same “electricity” in the stands as a fan. If Chelsea needed a spark for their fans, this might just have done it.
