Every Premier League team's 2025/26 home kit - RANKED

With the overwhelming majority of clubs having revealed their home strips for next season, I took on the tough task of ranking them all (bar Bournemouth, who don't even have any leaks out there at the moment).
The standard of shirts has been particularly impressive this year, so I have no doubt that there'll be some eyebrows raised at my list below.
Please note that those marked with a * haven't been officially released at the time of writing.
Anyways, let's get started:
19..Sunderland - Hummel*

This is bad.
Bad stripe design, bad kit manufacturer, bad sponsor - just bad. The only saving grace is that they've stuck with their traditional red and white, but that's the bare minimum.
If their football is anything like this shirt, they'll be going straight back down to the Championship in no time.
18..Leeds United - Adidas

Hear me out.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad kit, but it just isn't Leeds.
Same as it was last season, the blue sleeve stripes don't takeaway from the overpowering shirt sponsor that makes the shirt feel like a rebranded RB Leipzig and Salzburg strip.
17..West Ham United - Umbro

I like the intention with the retro collar look, but it doesn't quite work. The main sponsor isn't great, but the sleeve sponsor is really what kills it. With a couple of different sponsors, this strip would've had real potential.
16..Chelsea - Nike

Nice design - but where on Earth is the sponsor?
Next!
15..Brighton & Hove Albion - Nike

It's just a Brighton shirt, isn't it? Nice sponsor, nice enough design, but not an awful lot going on for it to be any higher.
14..Tottenham Hotspur - Nike

This is dull. Similar to Brighton above, this just feels like every other Spurs shirt that we've seen in recent times.
The only saving grace, for me, is the centred badge, which is a nice touch.
13..Fulham - Adidas*

According to leaks, Fulham's home shirt next season will pay homage to Craven Cottage.
I personally quite like the detailing, but the kit still feels quite plain. I'm not sure if it needs more red, or a different colour altogether, but something is missing.
Maybe it'll look better with a sponsor.
12..Everton - Castore

This is a nice shirt. In fact, had the standard of kits next season not been so good, this would definitely be higher on the list.
I'm not quite sure about Castore on football shirts, but credit where credit is due, they've made a nice strip here.
11..Brentford - Joma

This is a lovely shirt that has been knocked down a few pegs by its manufacturer and sleeve sponsor.
The Joma logo simply doesn't look good, and the sleeve sponsor sticks out like a sore thumb.
I'm usually against gambling kit sponsors, but it actually compliments the kit quite well in this case.
10..Wolverhampton Wanderers - SUDU

Now, this is a shirt that has definitely been ruined by sponsors and manufacturers.
The detailing is lovely, the collar works, and they can just about get away with the sleeve sponsor.
The main sponsor is hideous, though, and the 'SUDU' written just above it isn't a great look either.
Middle of the pack for Wolves here, but it really could've been higher.
9..Manchester City - Puma

Nice colours, nice sponsors... but why the stripe? It isn't that bad, but it doesn't strike me as a City shirt.
Again, if the quality of kits wasn't so strong this season, this would've been higher - but the minus points for the stripe land this in ninth.
8..Newcastle United - Adidas

Adidas have tried something different with Newcastle this year and it has definitely worked.
The blue from the club badge being dotted around the kit gives it a refreshing look while keeping with the traditional black and white stripes.
Not quite sold on the kit sponsor, but otherwise, this is a quality piece.
7..Manchester United - Adidas

I cannot stand Snapdragon on these United kits - it looks terrible. Unfortunately, this kit has been massacred by its sponsor.
Hats off to Adidas though, because everything outside of that looks great.
6..Burnley - Castore

Burnley fans would've wanted a shirt suitable for a return to the big league, and Castore listened.
The shade of purple is nice, the detailing is great, the sponsor works with the broader colour scheme, and there are no unnecessary sleeve sponsors.
Again, I'm not sold on Castore as a manufacturer, which is probably why this shirt isn't higher up on the list, but they've smashed it here.
5..Crystal Palace - Macron

Macron's lone entrant on this list is a stunner. They set a high standard with Palace's home kit last season, but I think they've just raised it again.
The retro look is spot on and the sponsor isn't overpowering - it just works.
The only downside is that the long sleeve version, as donned by Jean-Philippe Mateta in the launch photos, looks considerably worse.
4..Arsenal - Adidas

The Gunners will be continuing their title hunt in style this season.
The overall minimalism with the slight detailing works really nicely, and both the kit sponsor and manufacturer look excellent.
This is a top kit, but the few ahead of it are really something special.
3..Aston Villa - Adidas*

This is really good work from Adidas - incredible, in fact.
Not even a dodgy shirt sponsor can take away from the absolute storm they have cooked up here.
The gold strip is such a minor detail but it completely transforms the kit.
Unai Emery's side are always a good outfit at Villa Park, but this season, they'll look that little bit better.
2..Liverpool - Adidas*

Oh my.
Fernando Torres to Mo Salah, Stevie G to Ryan Gravenberch - this one has taken us on a trip down memory lane.
What a beautiful shirt this is. The white strip is reminiscent of Liverpool kits of old, and everything else is just clean.
A fitting way to defend a title.
1..Nottingham Forest - Adidas

Speaking of trips down memory lane, this might just be the best attempt at a retro-themed shirt that I've ever seen in the Premier League.
As Forest prepare to go head to head with Europe's elite on Thursday nights next season, they'll certainly be looking the part.
This is an absolute beauty.
