GiveMeSport heads to Park Hall to experience European football with The New Saints as they look to continue their UEFA Conference League journey.
Lee Wilmot travels to Wales for a behind-the-scenes look at The New Saints’ home, taking in the stadium before kick-off as the Welsh club prepares for a crucial European qualifier. From the journey to Park Hall to the unusual surroundings of one of the competition’s smaller grounds, we get an up-close look at a major night for TNS.
The start of the new Premier League season brings about a whole new set of fresh kits — and the 2026/27 designs are some of the coolest we’ve seen in years.
From top to bottom, there are plenty of innovative designs, bright and bold colours and strong contrasts between home and away kits that make teams stand out. As football kit culture has taken on a life of its own over the past few years, now is the best time to get involved with the ever-growing trend.
Most people don’t realise the nature of the details that kits have. Oftentimes, there are nods to historical events, tributes, fine design choices and individual features that, once noticed, give you a whole new appreciation for something that is simply more than just a shirt.
This is not a list of the biggest clubs or the loudest sponsors; it is a ranking based on aesthetics, originality, inspiration and how far each shirt dares to stand apart from the template pack. Here are the 12 best.
The Cherries mark their maiden European campaign with a retro-styled home shirt that has the makings of an instant classic.
This perfectly captures the essence of Bournemouth‘s kits across the years, with the black and red contrasts really standing out in the long-sleeve version.
A first-ever collaboration with the Elvis Presley Estate, the Hummel away shirt honours the legendary anthem — ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’—that the fans have sung for decades. Boasting historical and pop culture links that are rooted in the fanbase, this will shine under the European lights next season for Sunderland as an exciting season lies in prospect.
While the home kit plays it safe, the away kit has seen Nike adopt a genuine departure from the minimalist approach of years gone by.
Given its hugely contrasting design, it strikes a bold feeling that ensures Tottenham will travel in style in a new era.
The ‘bruised banana’ well refuses to run dry as Adidas has reworked the much-adored early-1990s away design, this time with a fresh twist on the famous zigzags.
With subtle graphic stripes hidden in rich, dark navy colours, the Adidas Trefoil logo and gold colours on the badge and sponsor truly speak to Arsenal‘s reigning champions tag.
Back in the top flight for the first time since 2000-01, Coventry City have honoured their 1987 FA Cup triumph with a four-tone jacquard stripe and fine navy pinstripes referencing the original Wembley shirt.
Under Frank Lampard, you can imagine the sea of blue and white at the Coventry Building Society Arena rising for their team, as they aim to take on the biggest names.
Nike’s ‘Unleash The Lion’ away strip is an instant classic. It also pays tribute to the club’s ‘Italian Renaissance’ of the 1990s, which also marks Chelsea‘s first black away shirt since their last title-winning campaign in 2016/17.
Gold across the arms, neck and across the badge, the Nike tick and Club World Cup badge alongside no front-of-shirt sponsor give an elevated, classy look — and one that says ‘we mean business’.
This year’s duo of kits both feature on the list and the home shirt is a modern tribute to the beloved 1989-91 ‘Candy’ kit, which harkens back to the Kenny Dalglish title-winning era.
Red never looked so good and the white stripes on the shoulders and around the neck help to accentuate the natural colour of the Merseyside giants. Expect this to be a real modern fan favourite for Liverpool fans.
The first home short of Hull City‘s multi-year partnership with Oxen — a manufacturer with roots in the city — is a complete triumph. Blending both tradition and modern design, it is a true statement on their return to the Premier League.
Plus, the design is a nod to the club’s ‘A King’s town then a city’ and they will need a siege mentality to stay up after earning promotion in dramatic fashion.
In a word: sensational. This is the first Leeds United away kit to carry the Adidas Original Trefoil, alongside a returning retro crest last seen in 1998.
When people complain that kits don’t have imagination or ‘all look the same’, they should take stock of an innovative and historical design such as this. A deep yellow base is beautifully complimented by the blue ends.
Similar to the home kit, this takes from Liverpool’s past as an all-conquering side. A classic shield-style crest pattern from the 1970s, paired with the Trefoil logo, which is a common theme in this list.
A clean white aesthetic is paired with the rich and iconic red of the club and will have fans looking forward to away days, to see this beauty in action.
Rangers have reportedly submitted an offer to sign Hugo Siquet from Club Brugge, according to Foot Mercato.
The Glasgow club have been incredibly busy in the summer transfer window so far, and they are closing in on their latest deal.
Reports suggest that Rangers are advancing in their work to sign PSV winger Couhaib Driouech as they aim to add another forward to their squad.
Derek McInnes’s side have already brought in a host of new additions in the summer transfer window, which is no surprise after their disappointing 2025/2026 season.
If Rangers want to catch up with their rivals Celtic and snatch away the Scottish Premiership title, then it always had to be a busy summer.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Rangers have now submitted an initial offer to Club Brugge for Siquet in the summer transfer window.
Reports recently emerged that the Scottish Premiership side were interested in the Belgian international, but they’ve now made their first move to try to secure his signature.
Siquet has attracted the interest of several European clubs, but Rangers are determined to get ahead of the competition to bring him in this summer.
Rangers are in the market to sign a new right back after James Tavernier left the club following the expiration of his contract.

As mentioned, Rangers are trying to make a serious dent in the market during the summer transfer window.
McInnes’s side have already made a host of new additions, but they are still pushing to bring in more players over the coming weeks and months. Their confirmed additions are as follows:
The Glasgow club acted fast to bring in a number of different loan signings and free agents and have now started to invest transfer fees to bring in more players.
There’s no doubt they needed multiple new additions. It’ll be interesting to see how much more they spend in the coming weeks.
Arsenal are weighing up a potential move to hijack Liverpool’s attempts to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have been in the market to sign a new forward during the summer, with Vinicius Jr and Morgan Rogers key targets.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, they’ve missed out on both, with Vinicius signing a new deal at Real Madrid and Rogers joining Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The North London club likely remains in the market for a new winger, especially after Leandro Trossard left the club.
Signing a winger who’s capable of playing on either side would be hugely beneficial, but they’ll certainly want a starter on the left.
According to a report from Football Insider, Arsenal are now weighing up whether to make a move to hijack Liverpool’s pursuit of PSG winger Barcola in the summer transfer window.
It’s claimed that PSG’s £145 million valuation of Barcola would be an issue for the Gunners, but they could pay up to £100 million to secure his signature.
The report suggests that Arsenal are now ready to rival Liverpool for Barcola, but it’s likely to be a long-drawn-out saga towards the end of the window.
Liverpool have been pushing hard to bring him to Anfield this summer, as they aim to add another winger following the departure of Mohamed Salah.
It’s already a competitive race for his signature, and Arsenal could be about to make things interesting.

It would be interesting to discover whether Barcola would be interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium, but it would certainly make sense.
The French international, described as ‘elite’ by journalist James Pearce, is undoubtedly one of the best young wingers in world football. Moving to Arsenal could be an attractive prospect for him.
The Gunners have just won the Premier League title while also reaching the Champions League final.
There is also every chance that Barcola would arrive at Arsenal and instantly become a regular starter, so it’s a move that would make sense for both parties.
