The 20 best Premier League kits of all time including Arsenal’s Invincibles shirt

 20. TOTTENHAM 2017-18 – Home

Iconic wearer: Harry Kane 

A simple and stylish design, this Tottenham shirt included a stripe detail around the neck and a classic-looking badge. 

19. FULHAM 2007-08 – Away

Iconic wearer: Danny Murphy 

Fulham haven’t had much luck away from home in the Premier League era, but this simple yet strong design from Nike had a little more luck in their great escape. 

Danny Murphy was Fulham’s hero in 2008  

18. MANCHESTER UNITED 2021-22 – Away 

Iconic wearer: Cristiano Ronaldo 

A shirt that draws inspiration from United’s past, there was a real retro feel about this strip. It incorporates a snowflake design.

17. ARSENAL 2022-23 – Away

Iconic wearer: Bukayo Saka 

Although Arsenal missed out on the league title, this kit became an instant classic. The all-black strip with gold lettering looked extremely cool.

16. PORTSMOUTH 2003-05 – Home

Iconic wearer: Yakubu 

An unusual sponsor makes this kit a classic. Ty are known for Beanie Babies, not football, but while their logo went on this shirt, the Pompey crest also made it on to their own range of bears.

The heart caught the eye on this Pompey kit 

15. NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1992-93 – Home

Iconic wearer: Roy Keane 

Pinstripes – a great addition to Forest’s red shirts, but one they’ve tended to avoid since Brian Clough’s side went down in this first Premier League season.

14. LIVERPOOL 1992-93 – Away

Iconic wearer: Ian Rush 

Another design from the Premier League’s maiden campaign, Liverpool gave adidas’ three stripes prominence on both home and away kits. Green kits are rarely great – this one is.

13. MANCHESTER CITY 2019-20 – Away 

Iconic wearer: Phil Foden 

Although 2019-20 was a rare season in recent years in which City didn’t win the league, their away strip, which referenced Manchester’s Hacienda nightclub, proved to be a hit.

12. CHELSEA 2003-04 – Away

Iconic wearer: Frank Lampard 

Double-striped Umbro effort summed up the excitement of Chelsea’s first cash-rich season. A strong look that Crystal Palace have replicated this season.

11. ARSENAL 2002-03 – Away

Iconic wearer: Thierry Henry 

This one divided opinion but there is no doubting Nike’s vortex-inspired shirt caught the eye. Sponsors O2 must have been particularly delighted with how it drew attention to their logo. 

Thierry Henry was always eye-catching

10. LIVERPOOL 2013-14 – Home

Iconic wearer: Steven Gerrard 

Simple isn’t the word you would use for Warrior’s bizarre range of Liverpool change kits, but this home design got it spot on. Liverpool were one slip away from winning the title while wearing it.

9. WEST BROM 2015 – 1968 replica

Iconic wearer: Saido Berahino 

With a nice nod to their former striker Jeff Astle, West Brom produced this one-off 1968 FA Cup final replica for a game in 2015. It is only the second time such a move had been allowed.

8. BLACKBURN 1994-95 – Home

Iconic wearer: Alan Shearer 

The kit worn by one-time Premier League champions Rovers, Asics stuck with the club’s traditional blue and white halves while the odd touch of red compliments sponsors McEwan’s Lager’s logo.

7. MANCHESTER UNITED 1992-94 – Third

Iconic wearer: Ryan Giggs 

 This shirt was marketed as being ‘100 years old’, a throwback to the Newton Heath era. A smart design enhanced by the collar. 

Ryan Giggs was United’s green-and-golden boy

6. CHELSEA 1995-97 – Home

Iconic wearer: Ruud Gullit

Worn for two seasons, this shirt summed up Chelsea’s stepped-up swagger. An increasingly-cosmopolitan team fitted the bill with the Coors logo splashed across the front and yellow details.

5. WEST HAM 1999-2001 – Home

Iconic wearer: Paolo Di Canio 

This blocky retro offering from FILA lasted two seasons at the turn of the century. The tricolour is particularly good.

4. LEEDS 1995-96 – Home

Iconic wearer: Tony Yeboah 

Leeds and Asics teamed up for a full-blown throwback that even abandoned the Whites’ modern crest. Just two colours and a ridiculous collar had Yeboah and Co looking great.

3. ARSENAL 2003-04 – Home

Iconic wearer: Patrick Vieira 

The Invincibles era home shirt was another that thrived on simplicity. Nike were creating brilliant kits around this time and this – with its red body and white arms – was the pick of the bunch.

2. NEWCASTLE 1995-97 – Home

Iconic wearer: Les Ferdinand 

An exciting era saw the Magpies almost take the title while signing up Alan Shearer to wear this shirt. Top design from adidas and Newcastle Brown Ale’s star is a great centre point.

1. MANCHESTER UNITED 1992-94 – Home

Iconic wearer: Eric Cantona 

Worn by the title-winning side of the Premier League’s first two years. You don’t see lace-ups like this Umbro creation any more. The low-key pattern offers understated retro nostalgia.
