With just six weeks to go until the start of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign, the kits teams will be wearing has been released, but where do their home kits rank from worst to best?
There have been differences in opinions with the kit releases ahead of the new season, and some fans will feel aggrieved by the decisions the designers made when piecing together their new kit.
Current Premier League holders Manchester City will be optimistic of retaining the trophy once again but will face stern competition from rivals Liverpool to do so.
If Manchester City were to retain the title, it would be the first time a team has won the Premier League three years in a row since their neighbours Manchester United did so from 2006-09.
Some kit releases have sparked controversy among fans, especially for the price required to purchase them, but where do they rank?
20. Chelsea
This is by far the worst kit in the Premier League, in my opinion, and it would be pretty low on my list if we were ranking every kit in the world. A horrendous, sketchy design which has no layout or specific details whatsoever.
Chelsea fans will no doubt hate it more with Eden Hazard being used in the official marketing before getting his dream move to Real Madrid.
The simplicity of their kits over the last few years was far better than producing something as woeful as this. This is a huge disappointment given the sponsor is Nike.
19. Newcastle United
An extremely cheap-looking design with a sponsor which covers a large portion of the front. Newcastle are blessed with some of the best fans in the league, but this will be a kit that many will probably avoid purchasing.
There has been zero thought put into the design and epitomises everything that is going wrong at the football club at this moment in time.
18. Watford
Never been a huge admirer of the colour yellow and this kit did not steer me away from that opinion. They decided to change to a striped design for their home kit, but it looks like two different shirts sowed together to form one.
The colours do not complement each other in the slightest and I feel they should go back to an all-yellow attire to prevent over-complicating the design.
17. Everton
This is a similar design to Chelsea, but slightly more appealing. The patterns on the front of the shirt are unique, but for the wrong reasons.
The Angry Birds logo on the sleeve of the shirt is massive and completely ruins the balance of the top. Not as bad as the blue team in west London, but I still cannot find much to admire about this kit.
16. Southampton
This had potential to be much higher on my list, but the top of the kit completely ruins it for me.
The red and white stripes complement each other well, and have often been successful over the years for the Saints, but I struggle to understand what the bold, black pattern at the top adds to the design.
Another club trying to over-complicate a kit, and unfortunately, it has backfired.
15. Wolverhampton Wanderers
Sometimes simplicity pays dividends, but in my opinion, this kit is nothing to get excited about. Like yellow, orange is a colour I don’t particularly agree with, and having a plain, orange kit was never going to catch my eye.
Wolves produced an excellent 2018/19 Premier League campaign, but this kit is not a reflection of the good work on the pitch.
14. Norwich City
I know I disagree with yellow, but the complementary colour of green had the potential to work well. The plain, green shorts certainly work with the shirt, but again, unnecessary, over the top additions have ruined the kit for me.
The green faded patterns at the top of the shirt are not needed to add quality. Without those patterns, this kit would have been much higher on my list.
13. Burnley
The claret and blue colours complement each other excellently, but there is one thing holding this kit back; the sponsor.
Your eyes are immediately drawn towards the centre of the kit, simply due to the abnormally large sponsor smacked onto the middle of the shirt. Most kits would look better without a sponsor on their shirt, but I cannot admire a kit with such a distracting feature.
12. Tottenham Hotspur
A basic design with no apparent differences from last year.
There are no astounding features on the kit, and again, the large sponsor in the middle of the kit draws your attention directly to the centre rather than the shirt as a whole, especially given the text is red. Nothing exciting about this design.
11. Aston Villa
Villa’s home kit for 2019/20 is very similar to Burnley’s, but there is one difference which boosts the ranking. In the middle of the shirt, the logo is much more appealing to look at, and does not draw your attention away from the kit as a whole.
Not a great deal of change from last year, and no ambition to improve gives this a mediocre ranking.
