There is a sense of freedom which comes with the design of an away kit.

Unless you are a megalomaniacal owner with feverish ideas about superstition, there are certain lines (and zig-zags) which can’t be crossed when it comes to a club’s home strip. There is much more room for expression with the changed colors.

As attention turns towards the 2026–27 Premier League campaign, glimpses of these alternative designs have begun to tentatively filter through to the public sphere. Some are more outrageous than others.


Arsenal

Arsenal’s leaked away kit has been described as a “reverse” of the club’s famous ‘Bruised Banana’ shirts from the early 1990s.

This particular design has been an established cult classic among the fanbase for years, although its initial iteration is not quite so legendary. The 1992–93 team which first wore the black and yellow zig-zags finished a lowly 10th in the inaugural Premier League season, with George Graham’s old-school side struggling to adapt to the new back-pass law.

A navy base for the reimagined design is complemented by the iconic retro pattern, while red and yellow accents complete the shirt’s clean look.

There will be gold Premier League badges on the sleeves, too.

Aston Villa are expected to plump for a clean black away jersey in 2026–27, enhanced by claret, blue and yellow trimmings around the collar and sleeves. A retro Villa crest will take center stage alongside the adidas Trefoil.


Bournemouth

Bournemouth have not let many details about their new kit slip. That’s understandable given the club only announced a new manufacturer in May.

Chelsea

Nike’s ’Midwest Gold’ is set to appear on Chelsea’s new away kit. The color is expected to work in harmony with a predominantly black base, similar to their strip from the 2012–13 season, which ended in bizarre fashion (metaphorically, rather than literally) as the loathed interim manager Rafael Benítez led a mutinous fanbase to Europa League glory.


Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton & Hove Albion’s away jersey for the new campaign is simply the inverse of their home shirt, with blue dotted pinstripes on a plain white base. There is once again a horizontal band boasting the American Express sponsor, which the pinstripes don’t penetrate.

It’s certainly less eye-catching than last term’s violet away jersey and, for that reason, might not be wildly popular among the club’s fanbase.


Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have drawn on nostalgia for their latest away shirt, which will likely fly off the shelves as a result. Utilizing the same color scheme as the much-loved 1996–98 changed strip, they have reimagined a classic with horizontal pinstripes.


Leeds United

There’s some firsts with the new Leeds United away kit, which features an adidas trefoil logo for the first time since they switched suppliers in 2020. The white Yorkshire rose is also center stage in the Leeds crest on a predominantly yellow shirt.


Liverpool

The projections for Liverpool’s new away kit looks an awful lot like the 2025–26 design. The color may be a little closer to white than cream and the adidas trefoil could replace the classic three stripes which previously adorned the strip.

Intriguingly, there also appears to be the prospect of using the retro badge which was redeployed on the 2025–26 green third kit. This classic, pared back design has the liver bird standing alone above the word “Liverpool” split in half. The inspiration for this particular shield was used by the club from 1987–92.


Manchester City

Puma have been given licence to experiment wildly with some previous Manchester City strips. There have been some contentious designs in the past—the 2025–26 mix of dull grey and neon green is an assault of the senses, be that positive or negative—but the leaks for next term’s kit is more understated.

A largely black design with some gold fringing brings to mind the 2013–14 design which saw City win their second-ever Premier League title. Yaya Touré was intimidating enough, but he seemed to become an even more imperious figure while dominating the entire division in an all-black shirt.


Manchester United

Manchester United may have gone back to royal blue for their 2026–27 away shirt, taking inspiration from their memorable SHARP-sponsored kits worn just before the Premier League’s inception. We’ve seen some modern takes on the classic, and supporters are more than content with the newest interpretation.


Newcastle United

Newcastle United’s newest away kit is expected to take inspiration from St. James’ Park. The brickwork of the stadium which the Magpies have called home since 1892 is set to detail a navy design.

This retro setup could also have the club badge from 1976–83 on its chest. This short-lived number has a proud magpie perched in front of a castle, which fits the brief of a Newcastle badge more closely than the current seahorse design.


Sunderland

Sunderland’s away kit sits pretty in pink and already appears primed to become a modern classic after the Black Cats partnered with the Elvis Presley Estate.

Sunderland supporters are renowned for singing the icon‘s ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love With You’ in the stands at the Stadium of Light, and the bright pink draws inspiration from Elvis’s famous Cadillac of the same color.


Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham’s new away shirt is far more chaotic than the home number, with its “Obsidian” base completely outshone by a vibrant and futuristic design that features more diagonal striping comprised of an array of neon colors, including pink and orange.
