1994-95 English Premier League Kit Battle
25 years ago, most of the club in England were not sponsored by Adidas and Nike but by English sportswear brand Umbro, who made the jerseys for 7 of the 22 teams competing in the 1994-95 Premier League season. Umbro made the jerseys for Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, Everton and Ipswich Town (only Man Utd finished in the Top 6, however).

Asics, who are not making the jerseys for any major English or European team right now, were the supplier of four different Premier League teams in 1994-1995, while American brand Pony came third with the three teams. Adidas (Liverpool) and Nike (Arsenal) made the jerseys for one team only, respectively.

Rumor: Newcastle United Set to Sign ElevenLabs as Main Kit Sponsor?
Newcastle United may be on the verge of signing a new front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with the AI-powered audio company ElevenLabs - prominent fan account @NUFCgallowgate posted a series of teaser graphics on X, directly linking the club's crest with the tech firm's logo and fueling discussions about a potential commercial partnership for the upcoming seasons.
The speculation was further amplified by a high-quality digital mock-up shared by the same account. The render showcases the Adidas Newcastle United 2026-2027 home kit featuring the ElevenLabs logo prominently across the chest.
