Here are some of the latest pictures of EPL sides’ new kits for next season. First up, Chelsea:

To me the design for these tops with chest padding and some sort of throat-zip makes them look like a cross between a Cycling top and an American Football shirt. The style is clearly a theme for them, as can be seen from this possible picture of Middlesborough‘s new kit for next season:

And for this reason, I am very glad that Adidas are not designing a new kit for Liverpool this year. Having said that, Newcastle‘s kit for next season is much more tasteful and conventional:

Adidas must be more than a little concerned that two of their sides look to be in grave danger of relegation to the Championship. Although my intense dislike for Sam Allardyce and Phil Brown (both on a personal and a footballing level) causes me to hope otherwise, I cannot see both struggling clubs from the north-east surviving.

Finally, here is a sneak preview of Everton‘s new kit for next season:

Having reunited with previous kit manufacturer Le Coq Sportif, Everton are clearly trying to recapture the magic of the early 80s with this latest offering. I actually really like it, although having seen Liverpool’s upturn in domestic fortunes whilst wearing a retrospective grey away kit, I’ll be hoping that it does not have a similar effect on Everton’s ability to challenge for the title.
