West Ham Vs Aston Villa Vs Burnley 23-24 Home Kits
As spotted by many fans, the new Aston Villa, Burnley, and Aston Villa kits all have a claret body and blue sleeves. Each of the clubs had been wearing these colors since their early days.
Three claret and blue teams play in the Premier League next season
What is unusual is that all three claret and blue teams are playing in the Premier League in the same season.
All have betting sponsors
It is a coincidence that all teams have betting sponsors, making them more alike.
West Ham United FC - Claret and Blue Possibly Because of Company
West Ham United started using claret and blue as their official colors in the early 20th century. The exact reason for choosing these colors is unclear, but there are a few theories. One theory suggests that West Ham adopted the colors due to the influence of Thames Ironworks, the company where many of the club's early players worked. Thames Ironworks also had claret and blue as their colors. Another theory suggests that the colors were chosen simply because they were fashionable at the time.
Aston Villa - Colors From Cricket Club Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel
Aston Villa are one of the oldest football clubs in England and has been wearing claret and blue since 1886. The team's founder, William McGregor, was a director of a cricket club called Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel, which also used claret and blue as their colors. When the football club were formed, they adopted the same colors as a continuation of their heritage.
Burnley FC - Claret & Blue Colors as a Tribute to Aston Villa
Burnley's team colors of claret and blue date back to the late 19th century. The club adopted these colors as a tribute to their first professional player, Arthur Bellamy, who hailed from the Aston Villa region and had previously played for the Birmingham-based club. Bellamy provided Burnley with the claret and blue kit as a gesture of goodwill.
Scunthorpe United - Reason for Claret & Blue Unknown
The reason behind Scunthorpe United's choice of claret and blue as their team colors is not well-documented. However, it's believed that the colors were adopted in the early years of the club's formation, which can be traced back to 1899. Scunthorpe are playing in the sixth division in the 23-24 season.

Following the leak of FC Barcelona's 26-27 third kit, kit expert @memorabilia1899 has provided a first look at the custom typeface that will feature on the back of the jersey. The bespoke font design continues Nike's trend of pairing unique typography with its high-profile club kit releases for the season.
The typography features a sharp, geometric design with clean blocky angles for the player numbers, rendered in dark navy blue and bordered by a bright red outline. The player name is printed in arched, bold sans-serif lettering using the same color scheme, perfectly matching the teal body and red trim of the shirt.
This custom typeface will be worn on Barcelona's 26-27 third kit during cup fixtures and selected league games where customized fonts are permitted. The contrasting red outline gives the player names and numbers clear visibility against the light teal graphic backdrop.

A new promo-style image of the Real Madrid 26-27 third kit has emerged online ahead of its official release scheduled for August 12, 2026. Crafted by Adidas, the new alternative jersey marks the return of a pink main color for Los Blancos for the first time since the 2020-21 season. Thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The standout element of the shirt is an intricate tonal geometric pattern covering both the front and back. Inspired by Latin American art, the graphic features interlocking circular and diamond shapes created with fine dotted lines. Complementing the vibrant pink base, Adidas adds ivory details across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and the Three Stripes on the shoulders. The club crest, Adidas logo, and Emirates front sponsor are all rendered in clean white.
On the back, the geometric pattern continues seamlessly alongside a stylized retro "RMCF" sign-off positioned just below the collar. Matching pink shorts with ivory accents and pink socks complete the full uniform, making it only the third pink outfield kit in Real Madrid's history.
