Dec 26, 2021, by Chris
Update: Supporting Shelter’s #NoHomeKit campaign, Tottenham Hotspur wore their 21-22 third kit with 'NO HOME KIT' on the back ahead of their 3-0 win against Crystal Palace. The Premier League did not allow teams to wear their away/third jerseys at home on Boxing Day.
9 November 2021: Teams Not Allowed to Wear Away Kits At Home By Premier League to Raise Awareness Of Homeless
Premier League teams won't wear their away kits at home on Boxing Day to raise funds and awareness for homeless charity Shelter, it has been revealed by the Sportsmail.
Charity For Homeless People Wanted Teams to Wear Away Kits At Home to Raise Awareness Of Homeless
Shelter, the homeless charity, wanted to raise awareness using Boxing Day fixtures. Their idea was that Premier League home kits would wear their away kits on Boxing Day in a bid to raise funds and awareness for people without a home.
Shelter want to make the festive fixtures ‘the annual event where football fights homelessness’
Shelter contacted the Premier League teams playing at home on December 26 to join the cause but the initiative has been refused by the Premier League.
It is understood that the request contravenes Premier League rules which state that 'the first priority for home clubs will be their home strip'.
A Premier League spokesperson said: 'The Premier League receives a large number of requests from charities every season however we aren’t able to support all centrally. Clubs area entitled to support charitable causes, and we encourage clubs to do so, provided it is in compliance with Premier League rules.'
Some Premier League Teams Fight For The Idea
Meanwhile, the EFL, the government body of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th divisions, have "not raised any objections" against the initiative and the plan of wearing away kits at home.
However, there is still a chance Premier League teams will wear their away kit at home on Boxing Day. It is understood Spurs are querying whether the Premier League is within its rights to block the move.
Would you have liked Premier League to support and allow the idea of Shelter? Comment below.

Manchester United Wear Premier League Sleeve Patches on Both Arms for The First Time In 9 Years
The recent Gameweek 2 against Ipswich Town marked the first time since the 17-18 season - when the Premier League first permitted left-sleeve sponsors - Man United wore Premier League sleeve patches on both arms.
With their deal with DXC Technology expiring in June 2026 and no replacement yet, the Red Devils left their left sleeve blank, requiring them to display the patches on both sides as per Premier League regulations.
The 17-18 season was also the last time United played without a sleeve sponsor. From 18-19 through 25-26, the Old Trafford side always had a dedicated sleeve partner, featuring Kohler (2018–2022) and DXC Technology (2022–2026).

The Macron Tamworth 26-27 away shirt is predominantly off-white with subtle, alternating light grey vertical stripes running down the front. Deep maroon accents provide contrast on the classic polo collar, V-neck insert, and ribbed sleeve cuffs. The Tamworth crest, Macron Hero logos, and all sponsor applications are presented in monochrome maroon to maintain a refined two-tone look.

Sunderland is The Only Premier League Club Without A Front-of-Shirt Sponsor
Heading into Gameweek 2, Sunderland remains the sole Premier League side with both their chest and sleeve sponsorship slots left blank.
Due to the ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsors coming into effect for the 2026/27 season, W88 was unable to continue its partnership with Sunderland, while their Live Score Bet sleeve deal was not renewed.
Ahead of the new season, three Premier League clubs were still searching for front-of-shirt sponsors: Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, and Sunderland. However, Nottingham secured a deal with Marex just in time, while The Blues announced Circle Internet Group right after Gameweek 1 - leaving the Black Cats as the only side yet to find a replacement.
