Every new football season means a new Premier League attire for EPL clubs. We take a look at the inspiration behind the coming season EPL clubs outfits.

Every season, each team releases new home and away jerseys that give them an identity for that particular season. Over the years, the football world has witnessed some seriously stunning kits and the exciting time that the kits are released just before the season begins has arrived. All the 20 EPL teams have already released the home jerseys that they will appear in for the next season.  We take a look at the inspiration behind most of these outstanding jerseys that will be donned when the teams play on home soil. 

Arsenal:
The Gunners' official kit partner is Adidas. Their home kit features the striking addition of a collar and new lightning bolt accents. Arsenal, however, wore the kit for the first time in their final game against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, May 22. In every shirt sale made by the club, five pounds will be donated to the Arsenal Foundation, the club's charity that supports local community initiatives. 

Everton:
In their new shirt, Everton pay homage to the central element of the club's crest - the Prince Rupert's Tower. There is an embossed tower pattern repeated across the whole jersey featuring white panels. The kit is then completed with a round neck. Two hummel chevrons go down the arms as well as on the sides of white shorts and at the back of white socks with blue fold-over. As in previous Everton hummel kits, the jersey is produced using the Eco8 process. The unique thing about the Everton jersey is that it is made from eight bottles, and uses minimal water in the dying process. This affirms the club's commitment to their campaign dubbed as Everton for Change environmental campaign.

Manchester City:
The Premier League champions' home kit features a special tribute to their legendary figures in the club's history. In a nod to the iconic kit worn by late club legend Colin Bell when he guided the Blues to the First Division title in 1967/68, the City badge has been moved to the centre of the sky blue PUMA strip with maroon trim. The exciting fact about the kit is that Manchester City fans will be able to get Bell's name printed on the shirt, in addition to fellow legendary figures Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee. 

Manchester United:
The club's heritage is at the forefront of their 2022/23 design. The kit features a stylish patterned polo collar, which bears resemblance to some of the club's most memorable jerseys throughout history. It also pays homage to some of their most memorable names whose unique style and personality both on and off the pitch made their jerseys to be their own. 

Liverpool:
Their home jersey is said to be inspired by the attitude of 'Scouse solidarity', with a bold, no-nonsense design reflecting "the mentality of its people". The new kit pays homage to the pioneering role the club played when Liverpool ruled the world during the popular 90s dance music era with its iridescent, multi-coloured marbled pattern over a white base colour. Also, a 97 emblem encased by the Eternal Flames sits proudly at the nape of the neck in memory of the children, women and men who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy. The change from 96 to 97 is in recognition of Andrew Stanley Devine, the 97th person unlawfully killed as a result of the Hillsborough disaster. 

Tottenham:
The kit contains a neon volt strip on the collar and the sleeves, with the club describing the jersey as "a classic shirt design that brings a sense of authenticity and togetherness amongst our fans". The shirt is made of 100 per cent polyester and Spurs have already started wearing it in their pre-season campaign ahead of the main season. Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son were part of the club's official launch, alongside members of the club's academy and women's team.

Chelsea: 
Their new home jersey pays tribute to the manager Ted Drake who led the Blues to their first Premier League title in 1955. He was also influential in the changing of Chelsea's nickname from 'the Pensioners' to 'the Blues', as he believed it was more befitting to the team that he was building. The same manger also help introduce the image of a lion to the club's badge - something that has remained up to date.
