Express Sport has ranked every Premier League away shirt for the 2026/27 season, with all 20 clubs revealing their new kits ahead of the campaign. While home strips tend to stay traditional, manufacturers often take more creative risks with away designs, producing results that range from iconic to forgettable.
Bottom of the pile
At number 20, Sunderland's Elvis-inspired effort from Hummel is described as a love-it-or-hate-it design, with the reviewer admitting: "Personally, I hate it. They've tried too hard to be different and the end result leaves me wanting to bleach my eyes. Yuck."
Bournemouth comes in at 19, with the shirt featuring a "Temu version of the bruised banana design made famous by Arsenal," made worse by a "massive pink Vitality sponsor." Hull City, newly promoted, are at 18, having partnered with Oxen, a small British manufacturer known for rugby league kits, resulting in something that "looks like something you'd find at a dodgy street market on holiday."
Mid-table offerings
Fulham sits at 17, with the reviewer criticising the "flappy" collar, oversized sponsor logo, bright red shade, and abstract checkerboard pattern, noting that normal squares would have ranked it higher.
The full ranking continues with more clubs, with the battle for the top spot between Manchester United and Liverpool. The article, by Archie Griggs, was published on August 11, 2026, and includes a gallery of photos showing more of the kits.
