THE Premier League returns next weekend with plenty of great goals, superb skills and a heavy douse of VAR drama guaranteed.
But the new kick-off also gives plenty of fans their first chance to see the new kits for the season.

It has been impossible to avoid the reaction around Arsenal’s – err – bold away kit.
The bright yellow number certainly caused quite the stir… and could impact the Gunners’ ranking despite very popular home and third strips.
Elsewhere, Fulham have hit the headlines with their blockbuster and topical choice while three clubs inexplicably managed to ‘swap’ jerseys.
But some supporters were left disappointed again with far too many tremendously boring selections.
Something tells us some of the clangers won’t be flying off the shelves of the club stadium megastores over the coming weeks.
And Newcastle’s away kit option has another not-so-subtle reference to their Saudi Arabian owners.
Strap yourselves in for a journey through all the Premier League shirts for this season – the good, the bad and the ugly.
SunSport’s Joshua Jones ranked all 20 clubs for their 2023-24 kits.

Bear in mind, we have included leaked kits not officially released just yet and the rankings are based on the overall club kits so a great home shirt could be levelled out with a terrible away effort (yes, we are looking at you, Everton and Brighton).
Anyway, here we go…
20. Sheffield United
GettyIt’s red and white and has stripes… not much more to say for this tame effort[/caption]
GettyOh dear, Errea have made an error here with this dull, bland grey away kit – Sir Alex Ferguson will be having nightmares[/caption]
19. Luton Town
GettyLuton Town make their Premier League debut wearing this niche home kit[/caption]
Luton TownUnfortunately Umbro have just reversed the orange and white for the away – poor effort[/caption]
18. Liverpool
Some will say classic, some will say boring but nothing to shout about for Liverpool’s home kitGetty
This away shirt with the green quarters is essentially a remake of their 2017-18 away – and it is not goodRex
This leaked third kit in purple has a strange pattern and would be better as a goalkeeper kitfootyheadlines
17. Brentford

GettyA kaleidoscope of navy, sky blue and pink make up Brentford’s outlandish away shirt[/caption]
16. Aston Villa
@AVFCOfficialIt looks like a West Ham kit but it’s actually Aston Villa’s pretty boring home kit[/caption]
Instagram @avfcofficialThis screams Aston Villa away with the white and light blue returning – plus a new badge[/caption]
15. Chelsea
https://www.instagram.com/chelseafc/The nod to the 1990s has gone down with some but not at SunSport HQ – doesn’t offer much[/caption]

14. Tottenham

What is with the obsession of grey kits this season? Not pleasant and a nightmare for colour blind fansfootyheadlines
13. Newcastle
https://www.instagram.com/nufc/A fine effort from Castore – never going to be anything too outrageous with Newcastle’s home kit[/caption]
instagram @nufcThe bizarre pattern is bad enough let alone the fact this is essentially the same as Saudi Arabia’s World Cup away shirt[/caption]
Newcastle UnitedLots of shapes and not much class, the yellow trim looks decent enough[/caption]
12. Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest go without a sponsor for this clean-cut red home kitRex
The white with sky blue waves is certainly a bit different – and adidas have pulled it offRex
Instagram @officialnffcSomething a bit different and fun, giving off Leeds away or DJ sound board vibes[/caption]
11. Everton
GettyHummel have produced a really nice Everton home kit with the retro collar and sleeve trim – excellent work[/caption]
And it’s completely undone by this absolute monstrosity of an away kit, deary meGetty
10. Brighton
Instagram @officialbhafcBrighton always seem to nail their home kits and the 2023-24 edition is no different[/caption]
GettyThe Seagulls have had some cracking away kits recently but this green-and-black number is not one – bin[/caption]
9. Wolves
Wolves have kept it simple and very effective with their gold home kitRex
GettyAgain, the away kit has let them down – it looks like the kind of top the manager would wear for training[/caption]
8. Burnley
Contrary to popular belief, this is Burnley’s kit and not Aston Villa’s – and it’s a solid effortGetty
Instagram @burnleyofficialBold colours and design for the Clarets’ away kit but it really does work – fair enough[/caption]
Instagram @burnleyofficialA bit of a comedown for the third kit – spots and stripes belong in pool not Premier League football[/caption]
7. West Ham
GettyUmbro must have misread the brief because this West Ham kit has all the hallmarks of a Burnley home number[/caption]
They more than make up for it with this belter of an away kit – the white-out crest and branding plus claret trim ooze classAFP
6. Manchester United
SplashManchester United have also opted for the lines across the design but it’s a great success[/caption]
This feels like a bit of a Marmite kit and even SunSport can’t decide which side of the fence to be onInstagram @manchesterunited
Not official yet but this third kit is gorgeous, especially with the different United badgefootyheadlines
5. Bournemouth
Instagram @afcbBlack with the thinner red stripes is a winning combination for Bournemouth[/caption]
Instagram @afcbLight blue away kit complete with wavy dark blue lines – it’s very Bournemouth indeed[/caption]
Instagram @afcbWoah where did this come from? Serious European vibes and the Cherries will be hoping it can propel them up the table[/caption]
4. Crystal Palace
Instagram @cpfcGone are the stripes and it’s a half-half red-and-blue complete with a silhouette of the original Crystal Palace that looks more like a Spider-Man web[/caption]
Instagram @cpfcThe away kit is on to a real winner with a white kit complete with a light-blue sash – the only sash in the top flight this term[/caption]
3. Arsenal

SplashAnd here it is, the kit preventing Arsenal from taking top spot… comparisons to Lucozade bottles and highlighters are perfectly justified[/caption]
TwitterThe Gunners return to winning ways with this teal and navy design that could go down as a classic[/caption]
2. Manchester City
GettyManchester City go for a neat design with no silly frills, a winning kit indeed[/caption]
PumaThe Treble winners had plenty of parties last season and this belting kit feels like it could be work at a disco or at Wembley[/caption]
1. Fulham
Fulham show Spurs how to do it with a phenomenal white home kit – the red and white different shoulder stripes is a nice touchRex
