Across the division, manufacturers and clubs are leaning on retro references, subtle details and new commercial partners.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal&#8217;s reported home shirt appears traditional at first glance but carries small refinements. The design reportedly includes a burgundy collar with a zig-zag pattern and multiple shades of red. There is also discussion that golden Premier League badges could be applied to the home attire for the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa&#8217;s leaked home kit takes a clear step back in time. The design is said to draw on the club&#8217;s 1969 attire and will feature a sky blue collar on a polo-style shirt. The choice is notable given Villa&#8217;s position around the bottom end of the Second Division in that era and their relegation to the third tier in 1970.<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth have agreed a new multi-year partnership with Hummel, described as a club-record kit deal. The Cherries have moved away from Umbro and the new supplier will coincide with a fresh front-of-shirt partner for the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford will replace Hollywood Bets with Indeed as principal sponsor. Teasers show the club retaining its classic red and white stripes while a subtle wave motif has been worked into the fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea&#8217;s expected home shirt uses sharp yellow accents known as Midwest Gold to cut through royal blue. The club&#8217;s lion badge may be layered across the centre and could gain prominence if a permanent front-of-shirt sponsor is not secured. IFS, signed in February, is due to expire at the end of the season, a commercial gap that has had financial consequences for the club.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds United are set to wear horizontal stripes at home for the first time in the club&#8217;s history. Designers appear to have taken some inspiration from the 2005-06 Admiral shirt, which featured vertical blue and yellow pinstripes.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s leaks point to a darker take on the Candy-sponsored shirt of 1989-91. That vintage coincided with the club\ufffds last long spell of domestic dominance, capped by the 1989-90 title, a 10th crown in 15 seasons before a 30-year wait for the next.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City&#8217;s home shirt looks largely traditional with a fade from sky blue to white at the hem, which could encourage some fans to pair it with white shorts. Manchester United mock-ups featuring Bruno Fernandes attracted attention after the Red Devils&#8217; feel-good derby victory that marked Michael Carrick&#8217;s debut of his second spell. The leaked United shirt shows a clean collar and white accents.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle&#8217;s proposed design keeps stripes as the defining element but experiments with varying bar widths and narrowing black stripes that bleed out from each large section, a pattern some observers liken to a Doppler effect visual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaks outline 2026-27 Premier League home shirts: designs, sponsors and retro inspirations.&#038; details<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13665,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[192,711,739,728,190,702,175,1056,179,194,172],"tags":[1355,1649,1650],"class_list":["post-13666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal","category-aston-villa","category-bournemouth","category-brentford","category-chelsea","category-leeds-united","category-liverpool","category-man-city","category-manchester-united","category-newcastle-united","category-epl","tag-badge-design","tag-home-kits","tag-kit-leaks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
