The Prem is back.
A new season brings new sides. New signings. New support.
And the best bit? New kits (in our opinion).
As the likes of adidas, Nike and PUMA have looked back to old-school templates for inspo on the latest drops, Score Draw have stacked the line-up with your club’s retro shirts.
Think golden eras, classic sponsors, vintage prints. Want to grab yours? These are our top picks.
Arsenal Retro Kits
Starting with the Gunners. adidas’ 2025/26 kits pay tribute to the club’s DNA.
The home shirt drops in a red body and white sleeves. A signature start. But a subtle Gothic ‘A’ print honours Arsenal’s heritage.
Remember the 1995/96 season? The signings of David Platt and Dennis Bergkamp marked a new era for Arsenal. Finishing fifth in the league, it was the away kit that stole the show that campaign.
The lightning bolt strikes again in this year’s away design. The modern take reimagines the classic with a blue base and red 3-Stripes.
Aston Villa Retro Shirts
The Villans scraped through the ‘94/95 season. Finishing one place above the relegation zone, the campaign can be fondly remembered for the home shirt. A two-button collar, a spread placket and wide blue stripes hit the claret base.
Fast forward a couple of years. The stripes are out, colour block panels are in. Plus tonal crests and ‘The Villa’ branding show club pride.
Honourable mentions to the home and away shirts at the turn of the millennium. It doesn’t get more vintage than a central badge.
Retro Chelsea Shirts
The ‘88/89 season. Now we’re talking heritage. Before the Premier League was born, Chelsea repped a crosshatch print at Stamford Bridge – and it proved to be a winner. Champs of the second division, The Blues made it back to the top flight of English football.
Two years later and Chelsea recruited their first million-pound players in Dennis Wise and Andy Townsend. A diamond-like, faded print and the old-school CFC crest makes the ‘90/91 home shirt an icon.
A League Cup and a Cup Winners’ Cup made 1998 a year to remember for Chelsea. Black and yellow trims and a big circle badge was worn by the likes of Frank Leboeuf, Roberto Di Matteo, Gus Poyet and Gianfranco Zola. Talk about star studded.
Retro Everton Shirts
The era of Peter Beardsley at Goodison Park, the Toffees’ 1992/93 home kit is all about oversized. Like many kits at that time, the Everton crest is big and bold, paired with a contrasting collar and standout NEC sponsorship. The two-tone print features EFC wordmarks all over.
1995 was a big year for the Ev. Sweeping the likes of Newcastle and Spurs aside in the FA Cup, it was heroics from Neville Southall in net and Paul Rideout’s strike as the decisive goal that saw them lift the trophy. This Cup Winners shirt pays tribute to that day.
And during that season, they took points from Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool on the road. Maybe it was the eye-catching away shirt that worked its wonders?
Leeds United Retro Shirts
Elland Road’s always been a famous place to play. Back in 1978, Leeds United repped a home kit to match the atmosphere.
A big V-neck collar has bold blue and yellow trims, while Admiral branding tapes down the shoulders. A look that saw John Hawley bag 16 goals in the league for The Peacocks.
14 years later, Leeds were in the Champions League. Winning the first division the year prior, they headed into the inaugural Premier League season with fresh home and away kits.
A simple look for the home shirt and a retro print for the away, the White Rose signs off both.
Retro Liverpool Shirt
Back with adidas once again, the 3-Stripes brand has remastered a look worn in ‘06/07 by the likes of Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and John Arne Riise. Curved white piping that runs down the sides of the body brings that nostalgia.
This time in Strawberry Red, it’s a new chapter at Anfield.
Man City Retro Shirts
You think retro City shirts; you think the famous brother branding.
Starting in the ‘89/90 season. The likes of Peter Reid, Andy Hinchliffe and, from March, Niall Quinn wore the tonal sky blue print.
Three seasons later and a scarf-like pattern hits the home shirt. A similar template remained but look out for subtle MCFC diamonds and button-down fastenings to the corners of the collar.
Both shirts are complete with Man City’s classic crest.
Love Erling Haaland? Rep the shirt his dad wore.
The season ended with relegation, but skipper Alfie led the Cityzens line away from Maine Road in a bold grey pinstripe shirt.
Manchester United Retro Shirts
The Red Devils start the season with two retro-inspired kits.
That ’90-92 away kit – we all know it. The snowflake pattern United fans loved, and rivals liked (but didn’t want to admit) now goes oversized. A white base stays, but blue is switched out for lilac. And adidas has swapped the usual crest for a sole Red Devil.
What followed that snowflake design? Another ‘90s icon. Commonly known as the ‘Cantona kit’, adidas Originals use the OG as a template for this year’s third strip. The black base has tonal devil stripes, while yellow and blue trims pop. Best of all, the United badge is back inside the shield.
Retro Newcastle Shirt
adidas’ old-school cues keeping coming with this year’s Magpies third shirt.
Inspired by the legendary 1997/98 away kit, orange and green trims land on a navy base. While the Newcastle United club shield badge returns – just like the classic.
Spurs Retro Shirts
1991 saw Spurs reach the FA Cup final. And lift the trophy. A 55th minute equaliser from Paul Stewart ensured the tie went to extra time. In the 94th minute, Nottingham Forest’s Des Walker diverted a cross into his own net, sealing Tottenham’s 8th FA Cup. Much like City’s ‘92/93 design, the white base has tonal THFC branding.
The following season features more iconic Spurs kits. The bright yellow away shirt has a checked print on one sleeve. While the third strip has thin stripes and lenticular Spurs branding on the chest and back.
Plus, each kit is stamped with arguably Tottenham’s most memorable sponsor – Holsten.
West Ham Retro Shirts
For the Irons, three different seasons offers three takes on the home shirt.
The 1992/93 design has tonal crests all over, bold stripes to the shoulders and cuffs, as well as WHUFC branding to the collar.
Just two years later, it’s completely different. The club marks its 100th year anniversary with a centenary shirt rooted in Hammers heritage. Big blocks of claret and blue feature 100-branded bubbles – a nod to the club song.
Who remembers the 2000/01 shirt? Dr. Martens branding on the front. A blue collar and cuffs. Di Canio in his pomp. An all timer.
They don’t make em like they used to, do they? Classic for a reason.
Keep your eye out for even more retro kits throughout the coming season.
