Football fashion: So who has the best Premier League strip?

A fashion blogger has named Swansea’s home kit as the worst Premier League strip of the new season, with Arsenal’s new shirt coming top of the pile.

Anna Williamson, of Style & Then Some, to cast her eye over all the home kits for the 2015/16 season and give each one a mark out of 10.

“Terrible colour choice”, “awful”, “a court jester” and “boring” were some of her more critical comments.

However Williamson praised some of the kits as “classic”, “regal”, “a breath of fresh air” and “perfect”.

Take a look at what your team scored.

SWANSEA: Terrible colour choice, have they never seen a Persil ad? 0/10

WEST BROM: The front reminds me of tyre tracks and I think they have actually paired black with navy blue. Very poor West Brom. 1/10

NORWICH: I grew up near the twitch so perhaps I should show some loyalty, but this is awful. The collar, the colours, he looks like a court jester. 1/10

WEST HAM: An interesting combination of mauve and baby blue but isn’t this Aston Villa’s strip? They need to find their own colour palette. 2/10

BOURNEMOUTH: If Darth Vader were a football kit, it would be this. I have never been a Star Wars fan therefore. 2/10

LEICESTER: This is too blue for my liking and I don’t think they’ve made much effort to do anything different. Yawn. 3/10

WATFORD: This strip is making me cross eyed. A dizzying 3/10.

CHELSEA: I feel like I’ve seen that blue too many times. Boring. 5/10

NEWCASTLE: I love a stripe and a monochrome. The cut of the neckline is nice but the blue detailing - all wonga. 7/10

ASTON VILLA: Very classic Villa, the long sleeves should come in handy. 7/10

EVERTON: A good neckline and a strong blue channelling the nautical look. I also like the elephant. 8/10

LIVERPOOL: This is a great red, it would work on anyone. 8/10

SOUTHAMPTON: Nice. Simple. Classic. 8/10

SUNDERLAND: I like the colour scheme chosen here, the red works well. 8/10

TOTTENHAM: I love what he’s done with his hair matching with the wording on his shirt - bold fashion styling. The navy blue detail is also chic but not striking enough to be winning. 8/10

CRYSTAL PALACE: Some regal colouring here and the kit is also very well cut. 9/10

MAN CITY: Aaaahh a breath of fresh air! I like this, the colour is great and the cut is very pleasing. 9/10

MAN UTD: This is a very strong contender for first prize, if the red were nicer they would win. It’s not though. 9/10

STOKE: Red and white stripe is a great summer combination. This was a close favourite. They have also done well with the neckline, the small V is perfect. 9/10

ARSENAL: This is my winner. I like the buttoned neckline, it is different. The stripe round the bottom of the back of the shorts is also a nice detail. I am a Gunners girl but this has nothing to do with it. 10/10
