Ranking the 2016/17 season’s English Premier League kits

18. Crystal Palace

It’s more blue and less red for the Eagles this season

Macron is the kit sponsor for Crystal Palace this year and they’ve departed from tradition a little bit by making the home strips predominantly blue. Now, Palace’s home jerseys have been red and blue for years but never have they focused so much on the blue before. All credit to Macron for coming up with strips that are different from yesteryears.

Palace’s away kit is a welcome change from the usual colours used in the Premier League

The away kit is a yellow with a blue and red sash down the front. Fans and players alike should be happy with the use of yellow since it’s considered to be their lucky away colour. The sash too is a throwback to the past as it’s always been included in their kits since 1975.

17. Stoke City

The Potters started sporting their brand new home gear from the start of the pre-season

Changes have been afoot at Stoke City this season already. The Britannia Stadium has been renamed the Bet365 Stadium and their new kit sponsors are Macron instead of Warrior Sports. These changes have not translated to their strips for the season though.

The away kit – an unusual choice for the Potters but looks good nevertheless

The Potters have stuck to the same old red and white stripes for their home kit with a white stripe in the middle. However, they made up for this lack of imagination and creativity with their away kit. While it has no particular design as such, the light blue colours of the strip with white trimming makes for a nice change for Potters fans. Overall, a really smart away jersey that fans might happily buy.
