Chelsea's 2021/22 home kit is made with 100 percent recycled polyester fabric and inspired by the "abstract, kaleidoscopic designs of optical art," according to kitmaker Nike.

Traditional blue is paired with a yellow trim, while "CFC" is knitted into the back neck.

Chelsea have returned to a yellow shirt for their away kit this season, a regular colour throughout the club's history. They last wore yellow jerseys on the road in the 2018/19 season, during which they won the Europa League.

The shirt is made with recycled plastic bottles and features thin black stripes and black features. 'Pride of London' is also printed inside the shirt among other small details.

The kit will be completed with yellow shorts and black socks and Nike describes it as "marking a new era of youthful energy taking over the club."

Palace first sported yellow away kits in the 1960s, and defender Tyrick Mitchell was among those to model the latest design.

The South London club are also paying tribute to their origins by launching a new special edition third kit. The light blue and white design celebrates the roots of Palace 160 years ago.

The pattern is based on the colours and design worn by the first-ever team from the Crystal Palace Club, which was set up by cricketers who wanted to keep fit during the winter months.

Everton

Everton's 2021/22 hummel home kit is inspired by the city's links to the 'Dazzle' pattern and launched with a video featuring Evertonians from around the world.

This environmentally friendly kit - complete with white shorts with royal blue and yellow detailing, and white socks - is manufactured using material produced from eight recycled plastic bottles.

The shirt features a two-tone patterned blue shirt and the use of the 'Dazzle' pattern is inspired by the role of the city of Liverpool and its docks in painting naval ships with the inventive and bold livery during the First World War.

The women's home kit, with MegaFon as its principal partner, is available to buy for the first time.

Everton's newly-launched away kit for the 2021/22 season pays homage to one of the Toffees' earliest strips.

The retro hummel offering is inspired by the kit worn by the Everton team of 1881/82 - a side that came to be nicknamed 'The Black Watch'.

The black shirt with statement burnt orange sash and accompanying black shorts and black socks will be worn by Carlo Ancelotti's side in their final Premier League fixture of the 2020/21 campaign at Manchester City.

Everton third

Room for one more? Everton have also released their new stylish third shirt. The white, navy and yellow offering is a reinterpretation of the club's pioneering away strip of the late 1950s.

As with the 2021/22 home and away kits, the strip features hummel's cutting-edge ECO8 technology, meaning its environmentally friendly fabric is manufactured using eight recycled plastic bottles.

Everton's change strip between 1958 and 1960 featured a thick horizontal blue line across its middle, with thinner amber bands on either side.

Worn by the likes of Goodison giants Dave Hickson, Bobby Collins and Brian Labone, the kit was the first to move away from the plain white shirt and dark shorts that had formed Everton's away look since the early 1920s, injecting colour and design.

The recreation sees the stripe element flipped to run vertically down the front of the shirt.

Leeds herald the start of their second season back in the Premier League with a snazzy new home shirt to accompany their swashbuckling football.

The adidas design is made with Primegreen, a high-performance recycled material, the soft, textured fabric joins forces with moisture-absorbing AEROREADY to ensure a comfortable wear.

Midfield playmaker Raphinha was on hand to model the shirt for the kit launch, with the shirt accompanied by traditional white shorts and socks.

Leicester

Leicester enter the third year of their partnership with German heavyweight brand adidas with their new home shirt worn during the final day of the 2020/21 season against Tottenham.

The club's sponsor remains King Power, the name of the Thai retail group that is run by Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, but the sponsor for next season has now been confirmed as FBS, an online trading company.

The blue shirts will be accompanied by white shorts and blue socks next campaign.

Leicester's new away kit features a mint green shirt, with differing shaded squares in a checked pattern and navy blue features. It will be paired with navy blue shorts and mint socks.

Both shirts have been modelled in partnership with first-team players from the men's and women's teams, supporters, and members of the Leicestershire community and beyond.

Liverpool

Liverpool's 2021/22 home kit pays homage to when the Reds introduced a full red kit for the first time in the club's history in 1964, on the basis it would provide them with a psychological edge.

The full red kit represents power, complemented by the injection of energy in the form of the glow of bright crimson, with the bolted pinstripes representing this sense of danger and is made from 100 per cent recycled polyester fabric.

The club have also unveiled a striking new away strip for the new campaign. The kit is a nod to a cult classic of the 1996-97 season with its off-white stone and teal colours.

Curtis Jones, said: "I think the fans will love this one. It's a perfect reflection of the city and you can see the inspiration throughout the design with a throwback to the 90s."

For this season's third kit, Liverpool will wear a bright yellow shirt with red checkaboard trim and features. It draws inspiration from The Kop and the community who have become the authentic voice of the club.

A club statement read: "The bold yellow jersey is representative of the club's rich history in the colour. The red-and-yellow chequered trim on the collar draws on the passion of The Kop and the flags that fill the stands, while pinstripes highlight the tight bond between the club and its community."

Manchester City have unveiled their new Puma home kit, which is inspired by Sergio Aguero's iconic 93:20 goal from the incredible 2011/12 season that provided one of the greatest moments in the Premier League and the club's history.

The memory of the legendary 93:20 season is seen through the new home kit as a striking all-over repeated graphic of a digital clock, paying tribute to the remarkable generation of players and the last-minute strike that sealed the league in a way no football fan could ever have predicted.

The home jersey is complemented by sky blue shorts and hooped socks to complete the look.

"Witnessing that moment is something I will never forget. When the goal went in, we knew we had just seen greatness, something special," Sky Sports' Micah Richards told the club's website.

"The league was hanging in the balance and then to secure it in the final minute, in that fashion, I don't think will ever be replicated.

"The new kit is a perfect tribute to one of the greatest moments in City's history."

Man City are also using their away kit as a force for good. It honours the club's global charity initiative, Cityzens Giving, and has partnered with water technology company Xylem to shine a light on water, sanitation and hygiene, and clean water access for communities in need.

A Man City press release said: "The ambition is to reach over 10,000 young people in three continents, focusing on Manchester, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Mumbai."

The white shirt has features in an ombre style, moving from pinks and purples into aqua and dark green colours. It will also feature water droplets throughout the design and is made using Dope Dye manufacturing process to reduce the amount of water and dye used during production.

The club website says: "TeamViewer's name adorns the shirt, beneath the adidas logo and iconic Manchester United crest, to make this home shirt feel like an instant classic, whilst the ribbed collar and cuffs lock in comfort and a heritage feel."

The shirt is a simple design, with gold trimmings throughout and a gold devil on the shirt, shorts and socks.

Woven into the collar of the shirt are the club's six values - growth, integrity, belonging, resilience, pride and commitment.

A comedic video launching the kit heralds the return of kit supplier hummel, described as part of the Southampton DNA. It is 20 years since Southampton moved from The Dell to St Mary's, so what better time to revisit an old classic from the 2001/02 campaign - but with a nod to the future.

Tottenham

Tottenham's 2021/22 home kit will pay tribute to the club's iconic cockerel crest in its centenary year.

The kit is completed with navy blue shorts and socks, and is made from 100 per cent recycled polyester fabric, which comes from recycled plastic bottles.

Spurs' eye-catching away kit puts "a new generation of creativity" at the heart of its design, according to Nike.

The expressive print has blue trim detail, a "venom green" swoosh and, like the club's home kit, is constructed with recycled polyester fabric.

Completing the Spurs line-up is another bright number in their third kit, which the club say has been inspired by the young people of Tottenham.

The shirt includes a nod to eight young creatives who were mentored at a local art studio alongside Nike staff in 2019, encompassing bold prints and patterns inspired by the streets of Tottenham.

The shirt features a black v-neck, and the kit is completed by red shorts and socks.
