da brwin: Earlier in the week, we devised our own power ranking system to score all 20 Premier League home shirts that will be worn for the 2018/19 season. Newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers were crowned our winner with their golden design, but it was bad news for Tottenham fans who saw their kit voted as the worst.
da dobrowin: Since then, most Premier League teams have released their away kits, with the rest having theirs unofficially ‘leaked’, so it would be rude not to rank them too.
Away kits are an opportunity for teams to be a bit more daring with their designs, as they attempt to be as far away from their home strip as possible.
But as you’ll see some have gone a bit too far.
20. Liverpool
They may be bringing in the big names and mounting a real challenge for the Premier League title, but this kit is awful.
According to the FFC Power Rankings, Liverpool’s purple number is the worst, by a long way!
19. Watford
Although they haven’t officially released their away strip yet, the ‘leaked’ version of Watford’s shirt isn’t great.
Similar to designs they have had in the past, but this shade of green will make the team look like a squad of goalkeepers.
18. Burnley
At the time of writing Burnley haven’t officially revealed their away kit, but this concept design doesn’t give us much hope.
Sean Dyche’s team will enter the Europa League for the first time this season, surely they can do better than this effort!
17. Brighton
Another team that has decided to go with green for their away shirt.
Having stripes as their home kit, a block colour was always on the cards, but after the bright yellow for their first season in the Premier League last year, green is just boring.
16. Southampton
Like Brighton, the Saints have opted for a block colour for their away strip for 2018/19.
The colour yellow has often been used in their alternative strips in years gone by. Most famously in 1976 when they won the FA Cup against Man United wearing their yellow and blue strip.
They’ll be hoping for similar success this season after a disappointing 2017/18 season.
15. Manchester United
Jose Mourinho’s team are yet to officially reveal their away kit but this is the unofficial ‘leak’ and it is hideous.
Strangely United have released their third one, a classy dark blue and gold strip, many fans will be hoping the club changes it’s mind and makes that it’s official second kit.
14. Newcastle United
A nod to the 1996 strip is a classy touch from the Toon Army. Unsure of the ‘Fabric Of Newcastle’ hashtag though.
13. Cardiff City
Many are expecting Cardiff to be the whipping boys in the coming Premier League season, but in this strip, they certainly mean business.
A similar design to a lot of Adidas kits this season, but fans will just be glad there is no red in sight!
12. Huddersfield Town
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, that isn’t Bournemouth.
Change the badge and the sponsor and Hudersfield’s away strip is a carbon copy of the Cherries home one for the coming season, even the kit maker is the same!
11. Chelsea
It’s been a busy summer for Chelsea, with a lot of rumours circulating and the arrival of Maurizio Sarri, so you can forgive them for not focussing on releasing their away kit.
The ‘leaked’ kit however is a decent effort.
