With all of the Premier League home kits revealed it is now down to a remaining few teams to showcase their away strip for 2019/20.
At times, it must be pretty challenging trying to come up with new ways of keeping the jerseys fresh, particularly in the modern age when shirts change every season.
Creatives have far more scope when it comes to the secondary kit, able to be as brash as they choose with colours and patterns, as tradition can usually go out of the window to produce a variety of results.

20. Norwich
The Canaries have done an excellent job with their home kit, but the away one must have been an after thought.
In recent seasons, the club have had a number of retro inspired designs that have looked great, but this one leaves a lot to be desired.
Red hasn’t been used by Norwich in 10 years, perhaps for good reason, and the sleeve sponsor completes an awful design.
19. Southampton
A bad home shirt has been followed by an equally bad away shirt.
Mixing grey and yellow, with a blue sponsor, was never going to produce a good end result, but clearly the memo was missed at Under Armour HQ.
18. Burnley
Umbro have tried to liven things up and have added a pattern to the chest, which is meant to be a scratch effect, or resemble claw marks.
It is something different I guess, so bonus point for that.
17. Sheffield United
Much like the home kit, there is nothing offensive, but nothing amazing about this number.
Based on the adidas Tiro 19 template given to the smaller sides, it is clean, simple and rather basic. That is about it.
16. Newcastle
It was always going to be hard to top the home shirt and so it has proved.
The Magpies have opted for a dark green, with brushstroke effects at the top of the shirt. Once again, the tacky logo is an eye sore.
15. Manchester United
The colour of the shirt is not too bad and actually combines well with the black. On closer inspection, the shirt’s design looks very much like snake skin, however much Adidas’ marketing team want to tell you it is to represent ‘the streets of Manchester’s creative district, the Northern Quarter.’ A load of nonsense but a decent strip regardless.
14. Aston Villa
Yes it is very similar to Burnley’s effort, but the silky effect and subtle line pattern on one side of the chest move this one up the ranking table, plus the Kappa logo on the shoulder in purple looks great.
13. Brighton
The Seagulls have gone for a moody black when they hit the road next season and other than it being that particular colour, the shirt is a little plain and lacks in character.
12. Leicester
The Foxes have two alternatives strips this season rather than straight up away and third kits.
Their dark grey heather option is only prevented from being as bland as Brighton’s by the addition of white – a solid effort from adidas.
Leicester’s pink version, although striking, didn’t go down well when it was revealed, like a previous kit, it was already available with no logos for a very small sum.
11. Watford
A decent effort from adidas here with a nice patterned all-navy strip.
You may not think the Hornets were team who ever associated with the colour but they used to wear it on their home shirts from from the late 1920s until 1959, when yellow and black emerged as the colours of the club.
10. Wolverhampton Wanderers
Like the home shirt, this away version is not as good as last season’s. The diagonal orange stripes give this strip a little bit of life and save it from being a dud.
9. Bournemouth
The dark blue and pink strip is in keeping with many other away shirts this year but is nicely crafted by Umbro.
The white club crest is a particularly nice touch.
8. West Ham
Sometimes less is more and the Hammers have applied that theory to their away strip.
A retro feel and and simple colour scheme with a small amount of blue on either shoulder. More like it.
7. Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s side have used three different colours, blue, yellow and pink to go with the overall black design and it works very well.
The kit is said to represent The Haçienda nightclub and makes up for a overall smart look.
6. Everton
The subtle diagonal stripes and navy collar go together very well and the orange/salmon colour is vibrant and bold.
Interestingly, this was the same colour scheme used by The Toffees back in 2016/17, but in reverse.
5. Crystal Palace
Now this is how you bring a black kit to life. The flashes of blue and red down the centre and on the shoulders are a good mix, broken up by subtle sound wave patterns across the torso. Impressive.
4. Tottenham
The vivid jagged purple graphic on the top part of the shirt makes it stand out and blends in nicely with the overall navy blue design.
The white sponsorship logo is not as harsh as the home strip and does not distract too much from what is a very slick shirt.
3. Liverpool
If this is to be the last season that New Balance produce kits for the Champions League winners, than they are going out on an almighty high.
A simple v-neck, with red trim keep this white shirt clean and classy.
2. Arsenal
The iconic ‘Bruised Banana’ look from the 90s grew upon Gunners fans as time went on and adidas have offered an modern alternative that is not as harsh, but still hints to the past.
Yellow and black go well together and this is another winning effort from Arsenal and the Three Stripes.
1. Chelsea
It was going to take something special to knock Arsenal off top spot and Nike have delivered big time with a clean, white shirt, complete with red and blue.
The collar is the perfect way to cap off this design and puts Chelsea into first place.
