Arsenal Only Team to Debut New Kit in Final Match of the Season
Arsenal will be only team in the Premier League to wear their new 22-23 kit on the final day of the season.
Arsenal Only Team to Debut 22-23 Kit
Surprisingly, only one team will debut next season's kit in the final match of the current season this year. For many years now, teams who have unveiled a new kit for the following season - before the end of the ongoing season - usually play their last match wearing it.
Manchester City and Liverpool have both also unveiled their home kits for next season, but will take to the field this afternoon wearing the same shirts they've been using since last August. With one of them to be crowned Premier League Champions, could they be superstitious about changing the jerseys that have taken them this far?
The remaining 17 Premier League teams have not launched their new shirts yet, so naturally, they will play in one of their 21-22 kits.

Liverpool will also wear their current kit for the Champions League final next weekend, as will their opponents Real Madrid, who have also already released their 22-23 home shirt.
What do you think of this decision? Do you like to see new kits debuted at he end of the season? Or is the start of the next one the right time? Comment below.
Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
