A special offer for Liverpool fans - if you hate the Liverpool away kit this season, you can get the Torres shirt offered with it directly from Subside and wear this instead to the away games:

Arsenal’s 08/09 away shirt is yellow with a blue collar, blue sleeves and a red strip running from the neck down the sleeves.

The leaked images don’t exactly show off the true colours of the kit but from what I’ve seen so far Arsenal and Nike have done a fairly decent job and coupled with the 08/10 Arsenal home kit the Gunners have a decent pair to wear this season.

Newcastle United’s 08/09 away strip is … well … certainly bluer than last year’s Man City knockoff. This year they’re bluer than Everton or Chelsea and surprisingly it’s looks quite good. Props to Adidas for pushing the limits with the colours. Even Northern Rock looks ‘acceptable’ on this shirt.

The keeper shirt is yellow, which isn’t too bad either. You can buy the new kit here.

Wigan’s 08-09 home kit features the new Wigan crest, a brand-new ‘futuristic’ JJB logo, the new ‘technical kit partner’ Champion and a snazzy looking blue and white shirt underneath it all. The Terminator-style Emile Heskey posing for the shirt is a nice touch, although the JJB logo is perhaps more distracting than anything else.

Chelsea’s 08/09 away kit will be launched on 10th July and is available for pre-order right now.

This year Chelsea have gone with a black away kit - you can hardly go wrong with black, but then again once you move away from electric yellow black almost seems tame in comparison.

Nothing spectacular about the kit - the usual Adidas stuff on the shoulders, sleeves and sides. I’d make a joke about Chelsea’s football being as exciting as their black and white shirt but the kit is decent, so let’s leave that for the 3rd kit, eh?

Aston Villa’s 08/09 home kit launches on 24th July. New shirt sponsors - Acorns Children’s Hospice - are confirmed. Villa have ‘given’ their shirt sponsorship deal away, which means that Acorns gets sponsorship on the Villa kits for free.

The shirt is available for pre-order already, and the kit images follow below:

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.

I thought it would be a fun idea to see which teams competing in Euro 2008 were the most popular - one easy way to detemine that is to look at how many shirts they’ve sold.

Here’s a look at the Top 5 Euro 08 teams in terms of merchandise moved:

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.

Credit to Andy from Hull City Online for sending in info on the shirt.

Celtic’s 08/09 away kit is … well … yellow with green trimmings. Some people have criticised it for looking too much like Brazil / Australia but it has the potential to be quite a smashing kit once the season starts. Well done Nike.

Liverpool’s 08/09 third kit is … green - if you thought the gray away kit was going to surprise you then at least you’ve seen the worst Adidas can’t do with a Liverpool shirt.

Still, it’s not a ‘bad’ kit - we’ll just have to see how the players look wearing it - somehow I don’t think it’ll end up being a collector’s item, and I wish Adidas experimented more with design than with colours.

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.
