Confirmed & leaked kits 2021/22 – Premier League, La Liga, Serie A & more

The 2021/22 season is already starting to creep up. By then, it is hoped that fans will be back in full capacity at matches across Europe’s top five leagues and football will be starting to return to pre-pandemic levels of normality.

It stands to be a hugely significant season, especially because the following 2022/23 European campaign will be interrupted by a winter World Cup in Qatar.

Here’s a look at all the known leaked and confirmed kits from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and more…

Arsenal

Home (confirmed): The new Arsenal home shirt for 2021/22 will incorporate navy blue accents into the design, beyond just the usual red and white and reflecting more of the colours in the badge. But the wide white side panels narrow the red body of it and give off slight 'Ajax' vibes.

Away (confirmed): The badge on Arsenal's new 2021/22 away kit has been replaced by a classic cannon logo and is directly inspired by the club's yellow change strip from the 1970/71 double season. This year marks the 50th anniversary of that famous triumph.

Third (confirmed): Inspired by the 1990s, it will be shades of blue lightning for the Gunners' third shirt in 2021/22. The lightning in particular is immediately reminiscent of the away shirt that Arsenal wore during the 1995/96 campaign.

Aston Villa

Home (confirmed): Aston Villa will keep their traditional claret and blue look for the 2021/22 season, but the new home jersey by Kappa will incorporate a striped design as well. The underside of the blue sleeves are claret, which is a slight variation.

Away (confirmed): This season, Aston Villa are paying tribute to the club’s 1982 European Cup win. To mark the 40th anniversary of that historic fear, the new away kit is inspired by that which was worn in the final against Bayern Munich.

Brentford

Home (confirmed): The Premier League sees Brentford kits for the first time this season. The Bees have remained faithful to their traditional red stripes, with Umbro supplying a simple but classy kit.

Away (confirmed): The Brentford away shirt in 2021/22 is described as ‘buttercup yellow’ and incorporates a tonal sting graphic. It is a V-neck design with black accents and will be worn with matching yellow shorts and yellow socks.

Third (confirmed): The high demand for Brentford’s third shirt from last season has seen the Bees continue to use it. With claret, salmon and blue trim, the jersey pays tribute to the club’s first ever colours worn at the end of the 19th century.

Brighton

Home (confirmed): Brighton have adopted more conventional and traditional blue and white stripes once more for 2021/22, debuting the new strip in a 3-2 comeback win over Premier League champions Manchester City.

Burnley

Home (confirmed): Burnley classic claret and blue colours have been given a modern upgrade with a graphic pattern on the sleeves. This season also marks a new multi-year extension with kit supplier Umbro who have been making Burnley shirts since 2019 already.

Away (confirmed): A white Burnley away shirt features blue pinstripes and a V-neck with claret detail in an effort to create a ‘lifestyle aesthetic’. The shorts and socks will both also be white.

Third (confirmed): Chelsea's green and black third kit for 2021/22 is inspired by Nike's ACG brand and London streetwear. The crimson detailing and accents provides a complementary contrast to represent the club's 'youthful energy'.

Crystal Palace

Home (confirmed): Crystal Palace have reimagined their usual home look by incorporating red and blue diagonal stripes as opposed to the usual vertical. It is intended as a nod to the club’s longstanding association with sash designs.

Away (confirmed): Crystal Palace will be heading back to a yellow shirt on the road. It has commonly been a change colour for the Eagles over the years but has only been seen once in the last four seasons, with the club often preferring black or white during that time.

Third (confirmed): White and sky blue halves is a nod to the colours worn in 1861 by the first ever Crystal Palace Club, which was initially established by cricket players to stay fit during the winter. Palace as we know today were eventually founded in 1905.

Everton

Home (confirmed): Everton have adopted a new home shirt inspired by dazzle camouflage, a technique used to paint ships to help protect them from enemy fire. Liverpool's city docks played a role in painting naval ships during the First World War.

Away (confirmed): Everton will wear a predominantly black kit on the road in 2021/22, featuring a burnt orange sash. It pays tribute to one of the club’s earliest ever home strips worn in 1881/82, more than 20 years before the Toffees adopted the blue we know today.

Third (confirmed): Everton’s white third shirt with navy blue and yellow trim is a nod to a change strip worn by the Toffees in the late 1950s. it was the first design to add extra colour and move away from the plain jerseys Everton had worn since the 1920s.

Leeds

Third (confirmed): Leeds' third shirt for the season is shade of purple, featuring a navy blue badge and branding, as well as white trim on the neck and sleeve cuffs.

Leicester

Home (confirmed): A white V-neck is a defining feature of Leicester's new home shirt in 2021/22, which is a significant difference from recent seasons. There was a small amount of white on the neck in 2015/16, but no fully white collar or neck since 2011/12.

Away (confirmed): Leicester hope this mint design will be an ‘instant classic’ among fans. It features a graphic pattern, as well as a reimagined navy blue club badge that subtly blends into the colour theme.

Third (confirmed): Onyx and pink are the chosen colours for Leicester’s new adidas third kit. The Foxes badge has been reimagined in pink for a striking look, with black trim on the V-neck and sleeve cuffs completing the overall look.

Liverpool

Home (confirmed): Liverpool will be into the second year of their partnership with Nike in 2021/22. The design draws inspiration from the club's move to an all-red kit for the first time in the 1960s, with legendary manager Bill Shankly believing it to be more intimidating to opponents.

Away (confirmed): An off-white 'ecru' Liverpool away shirt is a nod to the away kit the club wore during the 1996/97 season. Brighter red trim also matches the home kit detailing, while both the player version and replica version is made from recycled plastic bottles.

Third (confirmed): Liverpool have gone back to a classic yellow look for their 2021/22 third kit. The red and yellow checkerboard pattern on the collar and sleeve cuffs is inspired by flags waved by fans during the 1977 European Cup final.

Manchester City

Home (confirmed): Manchester City have launched their 2021/22 home kit as a throwback inspired by the 2011/12 season and specifically the moment Sergio Aguero score the dramatic late goal against QPR that won the Premier League title - 93:20.

Away (confirmed): City return to a white away kit in 2021/22 after a dark change strip in 2020/21. What stands out is the shimmery logo, while the design and manufacturing process as a whole is inspired by water, reducing consumption and raising awareness of safe access to water.

Third (confirmed): Manchester City have broken with tradition for their third kit, replacing the club badge with big ‘Man City’ letters across the front of the navy blue shirt, more like what you might expect to see in American sports. The badge instead is part of the all-over graphic.

Manchester United

Home (confirmed): Manchester United have paid tribute to the golden era of the 1960s when Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law helped make the club the best in Europe. In the launch images, Paul Pogba is even holding his sleeve cuffs like Law famously did..

Away (confirmed): Manchester United's 2021/22 away shirt is directly inspired by a blue and white cult classic worn by the club between 1990 and 1992, which was also the design that was replicated by adidas for the hand-drawn Humanrace range launched last year.

Third (confirmed): Manchester United's new black and blue third shirt with yellow accents this season is a throwback to the 1990s and a modern take on the black away kit worn during the 1993/94 Premier League and FA Cup double season.

Newcastle

Home (confirmed): Newcastle's first home shirt by British sportswear brand Castore is inspired by the kit worn by Magpies between 1995 and 1997 when Kevin Keegan was manager and they twice finished second in the Premier League.

Away (confirmed): Newcastle’s new away shirt features black and great horizontal stripes, a gold and white collar and an all-gold club badge. It will primarily be worn with black shorts and black socks, but alternative gold shorts and socks are also available in the event of a colour clash.

Away (confirmed): Black jacquard fabric and turquoise detailing will give Norwich a sharp look on the road this season. Like the home kit, the design pattern on the sleeves is once more inspired by the wings of the canary.

Third (confirmed): Norwich’s third jersey comes in fluorescent coral and features a black vertical stripe, which gives off a racing stripe vibe. That is fitting considering the club’s ongoing partnership with local car brand Lotus.

Tottenham

Home (confirmed): Tottenham will be going classic in 2021/22. The new home shirt marks 100 years of the Spurs cockerel, which first appeared on a shirt in the 1921 FA Cup final. It will be worn with navy blue shorts and socks, which was the club's primary look up until the 1960s.

Away (confirmed): From extreme simplicity at home, Nike have gone in a completely different direction for Spurs on the road. A vibrant colourful design gives off an outer space-like feel and will feature bright yellow branding and sponsorship.

Third (confirmed): Tottenham's third is could be quite out there. The design and the colours are striking to say the least, drawing inspiration from the streets of the N17 postcode where Spurs call home. 'N17' will also feature inside the back of the neck.

Southampton

Home (confirmed): Hummel is the new kit supplier for Southampton in 2021/22 and traditional red and white stripes are back. It is specifically inspired by the home kit worn during the 2001/02 season, which the club’s first year at St Mary's.

Third (confirmed): The tribute to St Mary's and The Dell continues in Southampton's new third kit. On closer inspection, the black jersey features a detailed graphic of the structural design of both stadiums. The contrast of the red trim is also simple but classy.

Watford

Home (confirmed): Featuring a new sponsor, Watford's 2021//22 home shirt by Kelme brings horizontal black hoops into play against the traditional yellow, bearing some similarities to the 2015/16 jersey the last time they were newly promoted to the Premier League.

Barcelona

Home (confirmed): Barcelona have gone abstract in 2021/22, with a new home shirt by Nike that blends together several different styles and patterns directly inspired by the club's badge. The shorts, in red and blue halves, are perhaps most striking.

Atletico Madrid

Home (confirmed): Atletico Madrid are moving away from clean cut stripes in 2021/22 and will wear a more abstract home jersey that features blurred and smudged red and white. All of the designs this season honour the 75th anniversary of the club's name.

Away (confirmed): Atletico have stuck with a primarily dark blue away shirt this season, but there is an abstract pinkish-red fade towards the bottom of the shirt, into matching shorts.

Juventus

Home (confirmed): Juventus will go back to more normal black and white stripes for the first time since 2017/18 this season, having recently experimented with very wide stripes (2018/19), black and white halves (2019/20) and blurred abstract stripes (2020/21).

Away (confirmed): A bright trim is will contrast Juve's new black away kit, which is inspired by Turin's nightlife and electronic music scene. The subtle accents represent the lights of clubs and festivals, while the trademark adidas stripes are iridescent.

Third (confirmed): A blue, yellow and white third shirt is a bold choice for Juve against the more subtle and classic home and away shirts. Although the design and make-up is obviously very different, the general blue and yellow evokes memories of the 1990s.

Inter

Home (confirmed): With a new badge and the first Inter shirt since 1995 that doesn't feature Pirelli as the sponsor, the reigning Serie A champions have gone with the imagery of a snake shedding its skin for their new home shirt for 2021/22.

AC Milan

Home (confirmed): AC Milan's new home shirt by Puma adds a fresh take to the club's famous red and black stripes. Inspiration is drawn from the city's changing skyline.

Bayern Munich

Borussia Dortmund

Home (confirmed): The new Borussia Dortmund home shirt takes inspiration from the club's Champions League triumph in 1997. But the big question is will Erling Haaland be wearing it?

Away (confirmed): The launch of Dortmund’s new grey away kit included a special nod to the Nordstadtliga, a street football programme in the north of the city that supports children regardless of background and helps them integrate into social structures through sport.

RB Leipzig

Home (confirmed): RB Leipzig have often had attractive shirts over the year, but the new 2021/22 home jersey takes up a step. The red branding and club badge blends in really nicely.

Away (confirmed): RB Leipzig haven't held back with the new season's colourful away kit.

Paris Saint-Germain

Home (confirmed): The 2021/22 PSG home shirt will be produced by Nike's Jordan brand, making it first time a PSG home jersey has featured the iconic 'Jumpman logo. It is directly inspired by famous Chicago Bulls uniforms from the 1990s, merging basketball and football.

Away (confirmed): Even before its official release, leaks of PSG' new away kit had got a lot of love on social media, with the white shirt subtly boosted by the presence of pink and black trim, as well as a re-imagined club crest in black.

Third: Made by Nike rather than the Jordan brand, PSG's expected black and silver third shirt appears to draw some inspiration from a silver change strip worn in the 2000/01 season.

Ajax

Home (confirmed): The Ajax home shirt for 2021/22 is inspired by the club's glory days of the 1970s when they lifted the European Cup three years in a row. Even the badge is throwback, while the sponsor logo is smaller than usual to allow for the narrower red band.
