Borussia Dortmund
- Puma
- Home
The stripes are back. With the signing of Karim Adeyemi, Dortmund have a shiny new kit to match. It’s the club’s first properly traditional striped home kit since 2002/03, although the club flirted with it in 2012/13 with a striped kit used for home matches in European competitions.
It should be a good omen, considering they made a Champions League final that year – although they did of course lose to Bayern Munich in the final (some things never change). The stripes on the jersey feature a pattern inspired by the window arches of the Wildschütz: the tavern in which Borussia Dortmund were founded.
Celtic FC
- Adidas
- Away
While it’s almost a like-for-like remake of Umbro’s 1992/93 Celtic away jersey, this year’s version is still a banger. The shade of green used is a proper hark back to a bygone era, with those stripes being bordered by thin white lines, in contrast to the 92/93 kit which featured a white line down the middle of the green stripe.
The likes of Jota, Kyogo Furuhashi and Callum McGregor will look great in this kit.
AS Roma
- New Balance
- Home
Roma almost never fail to put out a stunning home kit, and this season is no exception. The jersey blends two shades of the club’s trademark red, as well as a pattern featuring a vintage club logo from the 1930s.
With the traditional orange/gold trim to match, the design is simple but effective. The only thing we have going against it is the crypto sponsor.
Arsenal
- Adidas
- Away
It’s hard to go wrong with black and gold. While some Arsenal fans may be a little upset with the club’s decision to once again not choose yellow and blue for their away strip, they have at least dumped tradition for something that looks good.
The black and gold colourway is joined by the retro cannon logo – which the club should really roll out on a permanent basis across all their kits, much like Liverpool have with the simplified Liver bird crest – and a pattern on the shirt that spells out ‘AFC’.
Juventus
- Adidas
- Away
Blackout kits are a favourite for many, and while leakers have not yet confirmed exactly which kit Juventus will get, it is almost certainly going to be one of these three. We tend to lean towards either the full black, or white logos versions – no one really wants the sponsor highlighted, do they?
Adidas have played around with Juventus’ away kit over the years, ever since the fan favourite pink kit from 2015/16, but seem to have settled with black as their colour of choice for two seasons in a row now, neglecting to use the more traditional blue and yellow or pink away kits the club has predominantly donned in the past.
Manchester United
- Adidas
- Home
Quite clearly inspired by Manchester United’s treble-winning away shirt in 1999, Adidas have gone back to the white kit/black backgrounded logo design not seen since the 2000s. The logo is both garish but brilliant in equal measure, while the black and red detailing on the colour and the three stripes is a nice touch.
Although the short sleeve version won’t feature the black wrist cuffs that really help to make this shirt stand out, it does feature a similar pattern to the collar.
Norwich City
- Joma
- Home
This is a classic. Norwich City have rolled back the years to give us a 1980s-style shirt. A lot about it is lovely, from the green v-neck collar and cuffs to the equdistant stripes through the shirt. Black Lotus sponsor and Joma manufacturer logos are a great contrast too. Simple but effective.
RC Lens
- Puma
- Away
Puma have pulled out a blinder here. RC Lens have historically had some lovely kits thoughout the years, and this is another. It is also a little bit different for Puma, who have been ridiculed for some of their more recent templates.
This is different. The thick stripes are great; they really accentuate the classic Lens green and black away colours. Confining the club and manufacturer logos within a single stripe makes it even better too.
Belgium (women)
- Adidas
- Away
Adidas have settled on a beautiful template for the 2022 UEFA Womens European Championship. They’ve centralised both their own three stripes logo and the national team crest, creating a sleek look that immediately catches the eye.
Belgium’s is a particularly nice kit, especially with the black base and gold and red trim to reflect their flag. Spain have a similar kit, as do Sweden and Cymru. They’re classics.
AFC Ajax
- Adidas Teamgeist
- Training kit
This is a training kit and is part of Adidas’ Teamgeist revival, harking back to the templates of the mid-2000s. It looks really clean and smart too, a lovely balance between retro and modern. Again, the centralised club crest and Adidas logo just elevates the kit to another level.
All the big Adidas clubs – Arsenal, Bayern München, Juventus – have their own versions of this kit as well, of course.
OUR LISTS OF THE BEST YOUNG TALENTS
Borussia Dortmund’s home kit is really nice, a classic black-and-yellow kit with thick stripes that makes the most of their boxed sponsor. Arsenal, once again with Adidas, have a suite of beautiful strips as well, not least the nostalgic home shirt.
Spurs’ deep purple and highlighter yellow kit is a strange one, but at least it has a different (and new) template that harks back to the mid 2000s. Barcelona’s gold away kit is also weird.
