10 Best & Worst 26-27 Premier League Kits
The Brighton 26-27 away kit currently has the top spot with a score of 4.11 out of 5. Fans have praised the design on social media, noting that Nike has absolutely nailed the aesthetic this year, which is further backed up by the club's home shirt also cracking the top 10 (which actually is the same kit in blue and white, but rated 0.11 worse - this shows how close the race is). Trailing closely behind are the Aston Villa 26-27 home kit and the Ipswich Town 26-27 home kit, both tying with a strong 4.04 rating. Major clubs also performed well, with the Arsenal 26-27 away kit and Manchester United 26-27 away kit earning high marks from the community.
On the other end of the spectrum, the AFC Bournemouth 26-27 home kit has been heavily criticized, dropping to a remarkably low score of 1.88 to become the biggest flop of the voting cycle. This is mostly because of the pink Vitality sponsor. Other notable disappointments include the Newcastle United 26-27 home kit at 2.42 and a poor overall showing for Tottenham Hotspur, whose home and third strips both languish in the bottom tier with ratings below 3.0.
