With the World Cup done and dusted for another four years, football fans are counting down to the 2026\/27 Premier League season. There\u2019s less than a month until title holders Arsenal get things underway when they host newly-promoted Coventry City on August 21.<\/p>\n
With the clock ticking until the first whistle, London clubs have been unveiling the new home and away kits they\u2019ll wear this season. Ahead of the opening weekend, we\u2019ve hand-picked seven of our favourite shirts from Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace and more.<\/p>\n
These include a range of uniquely contemporary and retro-inspired strips from brands like adidas and Nike. Some clubs have seemingly been inspired by Italian football legends with striking gold leaf-like looks while others have stuck to a simple, yet classic looks.<\/p>\n

As we saw across the World Cup, retro is in this year, and Arsenal have just launched a 2026\/27 away shirt that pays homage to the \u2018Bruised Banana\u2019 shirt of 1991\/93. It features an all-over pattern that\u2019s a reverse of that famous retro strip, now in navy blue rather than bright yellow.<\/p>\n
In tribute to the early-90s edition, the 2026\/27 jersey is accented by red and yellow details on the cuffs and collar, with the latter featuring a slightly off-centre overlap that really stands out. There are also the classic adidas three-stripes running down each shoulder, while on the front is a yellow, embroidered Cannon crest and adidas trefoil logo and Emirates branding.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Away<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n

Chelsea have opted for stylish black and gold for their 2026\/27 away kit, inspired by the club\u2019s \u2018Italian Renaissance\u2019 when legends like Gianfranco Zola and Gianluca Vialli came to Stamford Bridge in the 1990s. As well as a clean black body, the away jersey features several gold details that really make it stand out.<\/p>\n
Most striking is the Ancient Roman-style gold laurel wreath design bordering the collar and around the cuffs, as well as a gold Lion crest and Nike swoosh on the chest. There\u2019s also a rib of gold running across each shoulder, while a lack of sponsor branding results in a clean black front.<\/p>\n
However, as we saw with many of the Nike shirts on display at the World Cup, the rib on the shoulder can bulge awkwardly at the seam.<\/p>\n
West Ham United Home<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n

They may have a new home down in the Championship, but we\u2019re fans of West Ham\u2019s 2026\/27 home shirt. It\u2019s the first designed under their deal with New Balance and the standout feature is a rough chevron pattern sitting boldly across the chest.<\/p>\n
The abstract design is woven into the claret fabric, alongside a combination of sharp lines and checks. There\u2019s also a return of the sky blue sleeves along with a claret and blue checkered pattern on the collar and cuffs.<\/p>\n
Arsenal Home<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n

The Premier League champions are celebrating 20 years at the Emirates Stadium with their 2026\/27 home shirt, said to be \u2018a bold celebration\u2019 of the club\u2019s legacy. In tribute to their North London home, the red and white jersey features a bespoke artwork echoing the ground\u2019s dynamic shapes on both the collar and cuffs.<\/p>\n
On the shoulders are adidas three-stripes in contrasting shades of red on a white background, while the body returns to a clean, pattern-less red. Fans can also pick up the home shirt with gold \u2018Champions 26\u2019 printing, but they\u2019ll have to fork over \u00a3113 for the privilege.<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace Home<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n
\n

Trust us, this is definitely Crystal Palace\u2019s new 2026\/27 home shirt. The Eagles have done away with their red and blue stripes for this predominantly white strip that\u2019s a tribute to the iconic sash first seen on their run to the 1976 FA Cup semi-finals.<\/p>\n
This version reimagines the vintage design with a Palace red and blue pattern running diagonally across the chest and down each shoulder. There\u2019s one new addition too, as Temporal is the club\u2019s front-of-shirt sponsor for the first time.<\/p>\n
All this comes at a cost, though, with Macron charging \u00a389.99 compared to \u00a375 at the club store.<\/p>\n
Tottenham Hotspur Away<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n

Tottenham Hotspur have gone with a unique, contemporary design for their 2026\/27 away shirt that features an iridescent pattern that pops off the shirt. It blends orange, purple and pink from top to bottom across its navy blue background.<\/p>\n
This makes the crisp white cockerel crest really stand out, as does the Nike swoosh and AIA branding. Similar to Chelsea\u2019s new away strip, this Spurs jersey may have the same issue with Nike\u2019s shoulder rib design.<\/p>\n
Brentford Home<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n\n

Brentford had both the fans and the planet in mind with their 2026\/28 home kit launch, which they\u2019ll don across the next two seasons as they \u2018continue their commitment to affordability and sustainability\u2019. As well as the classic red and white stripes, the Bees have introduced \u2018honey yellow\u2019 details on the collar, cuffs, side panels and bordering the crest and sponsor logo.<\/p>\n
On the back of the neck, fans will find a small beehive graphic as a nod to the old quadrant crest used from 1993-2017. However, one small detail we\u2019re not keen on is the extra Joma logos found on each shoulder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
