The 10 Best Kit Redesigns for 2007

10. Derby County home strip



This kit is very simple and nice looking. It's made by adidas, and the reason it made this list is because it's nice that lower teams (having just made the Premiership) can get big-name companies and also get a classic looking kit.

9. Real Madrid home strip



Last year's kit with the light gray panels is gone and in is a new strip with subtle blue piping. The sponsor changed as well. Out is Siemens-Benq, in is Bwin.com. The kit is rather nice considering it is on a template, yet the blue lines are subtle and the only modern thing is the pointy blue panels near the collar. Very subtle, and executed well, considering it is a template design.

8. Bayern Munich home strip



This is another design from adidas. It's rather classic looking and the striped socks look good. While last year's kit was good, this one may be even better.

7. Inter Milan home strip



Not that much of a change- which is good. The shirt has a nice collar and a commemorative anniversary note scripted around the crest. The classic blue and black vertical stripes still look great and this kit works well.

6. Tottenham home strip



This kit from Puma really shows that less is more. It's a solid white shirt with the team crest and sponsor logo. Subtly embedded in the shirt is commemorative notes, barely noticable.

5. Barcelona strip



This kit from Nike is the classic blue and red vertical stripes. It's an improvement because last year the kit had wider stripes that divided the shirt into two red panels and two blue panels. This kit also looks more balanced.

4. Arsenal away strip



While some Gunner fans don't like the white, it certainly looks good. A solid white shirt white burgundy and gold trim on the collar and sleeves. The shorts are burgundy and the socks look great too with the stripes.

3. Fulham home and away strip



Having just moved to Nike, Fulham now has a great looking kit that is very traditional. One of the best redesigns yet.

2. Celtic home strip



You may be saying it's the same, however, the Nike T90 panels were dropped and now this truly is an all-time classic. The green and white hoops are great and the crest is inside a commemorative note.

1. Aston Villa home strip



This kit is good for various reasons, however, now that Nike has done it, it looks great. The annoying Hummel arrows are gone and overall, this is a beautiful kit.

The 10 Worst Kit Redesigns for 2007

10. Newcastle United home strip



At first glance, this kit looks very good and traditional, however it loses points for being a primarily black shirt rather than the primarily white that NUFC usually wear. The modern cut to it isn't as nice as their old kit.

9. Manchester United home strip



This kit too looks very good and plain, however there is a rather unusual strip going down the middle of the shirt that makes it look awkward. On the whole, it is average, and rather dull, and not as good as last year's kit.

8. Juventus home strip



After relegation from the ordeal last season, Juventus are back to the top, in a rather bland kit that has no more polo-like collar and a corny sponsor logo. Really this isn't a horrible kit, it's just not as nice as last year's.


7. Liverpool away strip



Yet another kit that has been made to conform to a template. Those streamlined panels near the shoulder just aren't attractive and are rather unneccesary. If the panels were dropped from the shirt and shorts, this would be a rather nice kit.


6. West Ham home strip



This kit from Umbro has been given a modern cut to it and therefore the light blue sleeves are cut off sort of weird and there are strange diamond patterns near the shoulders. The sponsor logo sits awkwardly on the chest.


5. Ajax away strip



The new Ajax kit has those weird panels adidas likes to use. The colors are good, it's just that Ajax is another team to have the same uniform with different colors.

4. Liverpool third strip



An all-black kit with the red adidas panels. It just looks poor and notice how they have two sets of black shorts. One set for the white shirt and another set for this shirt.

3. Crystal Palace home and away strip



Both of these shirts are poorly made. The white shirt has some red and blue panels on one side near the shoulders and the primarily red shirt has some blue vertical stripes that make a 'V' shape near the bottom of the shirt.

2. Manchester City home strip



This kit is light blue with thin white stripes, however the whole shirt looks of poor quality. It's shiny looking and the le coq sportif logo is placed awkwardly. Not a good shirt at all.

1. Chelsea away strip



Electricity yellow is the color and this whole kit turned out to be an eyesore! The bright color is coupled with black, along with the ugly adidas template. This kit is the year's ugliest!
