It's never too early to start looking at the new kits that the Premiership clubs will be unveiling this summer for the 20072008 Premier League season.

There's already been a lot of activity, but here's what we know so far:

Arsenal:

Will be keeping their same home shirt, but will be coming out with a new away shirt from Nike.

Aston Villa:

Randy Lerner's club has signed an agreement with Nike to provide new Aston Villa 2007/2008 kits. Goodbye Diadora.

Blackburn:

Rovers will be releasing a new home and away shirt presumably from Lonsdale, but not confirmed.

Bolton:

Reebok is synonymous with Bolton both in the name of their stadium and on their shirts. But, as many of you know, Adidas bought Reebok more than a year ago.

The Reebok shirts are supposed to transition away, but we'll have to see whether Bolton moves to Adidas shirts or not this summer.

Chelsea:

The west London side will be unveiling new away and third shirts this summer. There's a possibility that the design of them may resemble the Adidas template design (pictured above). Adidas typically sticks to one template for all the clubs that wear Adidas, so it's possible that Chelsea will release a design similar to this (but with a different color palette obviously).

Liverpool:

The Reds will unveil a new home and away shirt this summer, which may also resemble the Adidas template design pictured above.

Manchester City:

The rumors are that Manchester City will be switching from Reebook to Le Coq Sportif jerseys this summer, although their current home shirt is supposed to be used through the 2007/2008 season.

Manchester United:

Both 2007/2008 Manchester United kits for home and away will change this summer to a new design from Nike.

Newcastle United:

Newcastle is scheduled to unveil new home and away shirts this summer from Adidas.

Tottenham Hotspur:

The 2007/2008 Spurs jersey, for home and away, will be unveiled this summer.

West Ham United:

After a long relationship with Reebok, West Ham United will be wearing new home and away shirts this summer from Umbro.

Not many clubs will change, there is a rule something like where you have to have the same home shirt for at least 2 seasons.

I remember pompey got stung with a fine because they changed the shirt too early.

You know any more on this rule?

I thought that rule was for all kits, not just home kits. That's what the 3rd kits are for, so for example:

In the first year you have a new home kit & new away kit.

Then in the second year you have the same home kit, a new away kit, and the old away kit goes to the 3rd kit.

Then in the third year you get a new home kit, a new away kit, and last years away kit goes to the 3rd kit.

That way, you can introduce two new kits and still get by the 2-year rule by using last years away kit as the 3rd kit.

If the 2-year rule is true then most of the post from that blog is totally incorrect...

I really like the current Arsenal away kit, Nike always seem to make nice football shirts. (I'm not an Arsenal Fan)

Yeah I like it...but I think we are allowed to like other teams kits...I remember I bought a Real Madrid shirt a few years back because I liked it...also I want to buy a Lyon Shirt...lol

I was gonna pick up the Brazil away shirt but my friend got one the other week so might go for something else. Just found the Argentina home shirt is going for ?12.99 here so might get that. I don't really buy football shirts so don't know where to look, do you know of any good online shops?

I don't quite like it when they change they home shirts every season as it's demeaning to the fans. I like to get a few jerseys here and there when I have the budget for it. I've got Inter Milan, Hertha Berlin, Valencia, England, Holland and Man United jerseys in my collection. I was a bit sad though that I couldn't pick up the current Germany jersey as I have virtually no money. I also like the colours of Olympique de Marseille but it's quite hard to get it here in Malaysia.

i doubt liverpool will release a brand new home kit, they normally change every two years, so in the 09/10 season we *should* see the new home kit, but they'll probably change the away kit, then let that go on the 2 year rotation, like the england kit does.

I really liked Arsenal's maroon home kit from last year. It looked so much better than their usual red and white.

Supposed to be cranberry.

It was awful.

Their yellow one couple of seasons ago was great.

I liked their blue and green one from the 80's, that was great.

I would prefer Arsenal home to be red and white, but lose all that nasty trim.

I don't think Arsenal's is going to change either.

It says in the first post that according to the article."Arsenal:

Will be keeping their same home shirt, but will be coming out with a new away shirt from Nike."

I really liked Arsenal's maroon home kit from last year.

Yea I agree, I hated it at first but it grew on me.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.
