All nike football teams release 2 new kits every season a home and away and then the previous seasons away kit becomes the 3rd kit like what happened with the black shirt with a blue V. Has nothing to do with a sponsor change as that particualr shirt was released with AIG and then used last season with AON. And there is no rule about shirt changes as Man City have changed all their kits the last 3 seasons despite no sponsors changing on the shirt.

Not last season.

In the prem you are allowed 3 kits you must keep the first kit for at least 2 years unless you change sponsor.



In the lower leagues you are allowed 3 kits and can change all 3 every season if you wish. With Crewe who I support they will have a new home and away shirt every year and the previous years away will become the 3rd kit.



Pretty much every football team in the Prem will have a new away shirt every season and obviously every other season will have a home shirt too so yes Utd did have 2 new shirts (or 3 maybe?) this year but thats because the home must have been up for replacement or just a change of sponsor.



Though tbh it wouldn't surprise me if Utd managed to be above the rules you know how football is with regards to Utd its like Leeds in RL.

Every team in the Prem changes atleast 2 of their 3 kits every season

even Latics released 2 new kits this season.

Latics have had two new strips every season since joining the Premier League. Don't think they've sold that many though

Indeed they do.. New strip every season without fail.

Exactly whoever keeps tryna say theres rules about kit changes hasnt got a clue. Personally I prefer new kits getting released every year in football and rugby. Apart from England RU who released 9 new kits in under 3 years! 4 home all 4 look more or less the same 2 of them are actually the same shirt just 1 with no sponsor and RWC badge same with black away kit they also had a purple kit I think they wore once maybe twice at most then a grey away that last about 8 months! But getting back to Wigan will we be going to black for away this season??

I would assume that the rules are null and void in the prem nowadays as even though most some teams keep a kit and change it to their third kit, most change each year, some teams, for example chelsea and fulham have both had 3 kits each for the past two years and they have both been updated this season, no sign of any of last years shirts. But as someone already pointed out, you do not have to buy it just because the club release it. I love buying my warrington and united shirts and tend to set aside money for when they come out so i can buy the new releases, then if i decided i dont like the kit i have some money to treat the mrs or myself with. win/win i suppose.

if we are going to traditional cherry and white hoops for home shirt, i would love blue and white hoops for away shirt

Call me crazy but, black and blue hoops for the away kit maybe?

Agreed. I'd love the away to be the same as the home but blue rather than cherry.

Loved the 2005 kits cos of that
