good morning!
We’re one day closer to the Premier League and we’ve all enjoyed looking at some home kits yesterday. Today, let’s up the ante. That’s right, I’m talking away kits!
Rules are like yesterday. Hoddle Headquarters takes a look at the best away kits - and the worst!
Best: Chelsea
Yep, fair play. I can’t find a single fault with this kit (except, well, Chelsea).
Love the cream. The royal blue trimming looks great, especially offset with the red piping. Collar is lovely. As is the stamped-on crest.
Worst: Arsenal
Ahh, now we’re back on track. I really don’t like anything about it. And you shouldn’t eiter.
Best: Tottenham
Woohoo now we’re getting somewhere. I love the away kit this year. I know some people say it looks like pajamas, but pajamas are cool. Imagine how well the boys will play feeling so comfy.
My favourite part has to be the cockerel dotting the “I” in AIA.
Worst: Brighton
Let’s travel out of London and look at Brighton’s kits. These are pinstripes gone wrong. Mostly, it’s the colour. The yellow is really unpleasent when you contrast it with the club crest.
Best: Everton
I like this one a lot. Love the black accented with the yellow, and the little pattern. Kind of a bold choice to turn the Everton crest into something a bit more minimalist, but I’ll give them points for trying something new.
