HOME KITS · EPL 2026-27
Best EPL Home Kits for 2026
So I’m sitting there, minding my own business, and somebody tells me there are twenty new Premier League home shirts this year. Twenty. Like I’ve got time for that. Like I don’t have a job and a back that makes noise when I sit down. But fine. I looked at all of them so you don’t have to, and here’s the thing: a few of these are actually great. Not great for a sponsor billboard you wear to the pub. Actually great.
This year’s big theme is clubs raiding their own closets. Liverpool went back to 1989. United went back to the Admiral days. Villa went back to 1969. Somewhere a designer got paid to open an old photo album, and honestly? Good for them. Here are the five 2026-27 home kits worth hanging in your closet.
Liverpool 26/27 Home Jersey (adidas)
Liverpool’s new shirt is a deeper shade the club calls Active Maroon, with a geometric pattern taken from the 1989-91 home kit. That’s the shirt a whole generation of fans still owns in a drawer, two sizes too small, refusing to throw it out. On the fan replica, the pattern runs unbroken across the whole front, even under the crest and the sponsor. That looks better than it has any right to. This kit landed at or near the top of almost every ranking this summer, which tells you nobody had to be talked into it. The link goes to the Champions League version of the replica.
Manchester United 26/27 Home Jersey (adidas)
United went full 1970s. Classic red, white and black detailing, and the real hero: a striped collar and cuffs lifted straight from the Admiral shirts the club wore from 1975 to 1980. There’s even a little UNITED flag icon on the back of the neck, which is the kind of detail you only notice when somebody’s standing in front of you in line. It’s red, it’s clean, and it doesn’t try to be clever. In a league full of shirts trying to be clever, that’s a flex. This is the Champions League version too.
Arsenal 26/27 Home Jersey (adidas)
Arsenal’s shirt celebrates twenty years at the Emirates. You get two shades of red: standard Arsenal red on the body, and a darker burgundy on the collar, the cuffs and the middle of the three shoulder stripes. Then there’s a wavy zig-zag pattern on the collar and cuffs, inspired by the stadium’s architecture, plus the white raglan sleeves that make an Arsenal shirt look like an Arsenal shirt. A stadium tribute on a collar. I don’t know who pitched that in a meeting, but it works. Champions League version on this link.
Aston Villa 26/27 Home Jersey (adidas)
Villa did the bravest thing on this list: they took the blue sleeves away. It’s all claret, based on the 1969 home kit, with a classic collar, sky blue trim and pale blue logos, crest included. It’s the club’s first all-claret home shirt since 2018-19. I know, I know, no blue sleeves on a Villa shirt sounds like no cheese on a cheeseburger. Put it on and you get it. It looks like something a manager in a sheepskin coat would nod at approvingly.
Coventry City 26/27 Home Jersey (Hummel)
Coventry are back in the Premier League. Instead of playing it safe, Hummel swapped the solid sky blue base for bold blue and white vertical stripes. Fans are split right down the middle. Some love the nod to older striped Coventry shirts, and some say it isn’t sky blue enough and looks like somebody else’s kit. Here’s my take: a newly promoted club showing up in stripes everyone’s arguing about is the most Premier League thing that’s ever happened. It’s also the one on this list people will ask you about.
That’s the five. Two of them are basically time machines, one is a stadium you can wear, and one started a fight in Coventry. If you already did MLS season with us, the home kits, away kits and third kits roundups are right there too. Pick your shirt, and try not to spill anything on it before the first match.
