Best Premier League football kit 2022/23 - Manchester United adidas Home Kit
Manchester United's 2021/22 campaign was one to forget; however, with Erik ten Hag now in charge, things are starting to turn around for the Red Devils this season.
With a new season comes a new kit as well, and this new home strip from adidas is certainly one of the best we've seen from the Premier League so far.
Dressed mostly in classic Manchester United red, the shirt also features a vintage white collar reminiscent of some of the best retro football kits from the past.

The collar is accented by triangular red and black shapes around the edge to further add to the old-school aesthetic that harkens back to a time when Eric Cantona was running the show up top.
All in all, the new home kit looks as though it perfectly reflects the new Erik ten Hag era at Manchester United.
Best European football kit 2022/23 - Barcelona Nike Home Kit
Much like Manchester United, Barcelona's 2021/22 season certainly wasn't the best in the club's history, although things began to turn around when Xavi was appointed head coach in November 2021.
With Barcelona currently sitting top of La Liga at the time of writing though, things are starting to look up for Barcelona, kit included.

For the club's fixtures at Camp Nou, Nike has created this incredible home strip inspired by the Barcelona Olympics on the event's 30th Anniversary.
The usual Catalan colours feature as well as darker blue accents across the shoulders and stripes, which are then contrasted by the metallic gold branding and sponsor to really make this kit stand out from the crowd.
Best international football kit 2022/23 - England Nike Away Kit
Being a World Cup year, there was bound to be some great international jerseys released this season, but England's new away kit takes the crown as one of the best World Cup kits around.
We may be a little biased, but we're a big fan of its retro red design, ending the recent run of blue away kits, and its old-school navy collar.

In fact, the shirt is a serious throwback to England's 1990 World Cup jersey, one of the nation's most successful strips. That said, the 2022 England team will no doubt be looking to win the trophy rather than finish fourth this time around.
Ultimately, we're a massive fan of England's away jersey, with it being the true highlight of the competition and, arguably, ranked up there as one of the best World Cup jerseys out in Qatar.
Best MLS football kit 2022/23 - Portland Timbers adidas Away Kit
As a nod to the club's Rose City nickname, adidas has designed this amazing Portland Timbers away kit for the 2022 and 2023 MLS seasons.
Shades of pink are contrasted by the darker rose bloom pattern that works its way across the face of this jersey, which is something completely unique to anything else we've seen this season so far.

The club's crest is also reimagined in Victory Crimson to complement the rest of the shirt's colour scheme.
On the whole, this away strip, which has been dubbed the "Heritage Rose", is definitely one to take a closer look at as it's one of the most unique kits we've seen.
Best looking football kit 2022/23 - Venezia Kappa Home Kit
Venezia's 2021/22 jersey made headlines for being one of the most stylish football kits ever made, but it looks like the club has done it again with its new home strip.
In fact, Venezia has doubled down on the fashion aspect of its 2021/22 jersey by collaborating with Bureau Borsche, a design studio that's previously worked on Supreme, Balenciaga, and Nike apparel, for its latest release.

As a result, the kit is a symphony of black and gold, with the club's now famous orange and green colour scheme also featuring down the sleeves and around the edge of the retro collar.
Although relegated last season, Venezia's new home kit will no doubt be a popular pick-up for any football shirt collector, and definitely one that deserves a place on our list.
It's also worth pointing out Venezia's new third-choice strip which we feel is another fantastic-looking kit worth considering
Frequently asked questions about football kits
With so many different kits out there, you may have a few questions about them. Don't worry though, we've answered some of the most common queries right here.
How do you start a football kit collection?
This will depend on your personal preference and chosen method.
You could start by purchasing the kits from your favourite football team each year, and eventually, you'll start to amass a collection
You could also pick up any kits you simply like the look or the inspiration behind. For example, this Ajax Third is themed around Bob Marley, or there's this Ghana away kit dressed in the country's colours.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Once you start to buy a few, we're sure you're collection will continue to grow.
What is a replica football kit?
A replica football kit tends to be the mass-market version of a club or country's shirt.
The kit itself will typically be accurate to the design of the authentic shirt, but will be significantly cheaper and more readily available.
The key thing to note here is replica doesn't mean fake. The kit will be made by the official manufacturer, but will likely feature slightly cheaper materials compared to what the pros wear.
For example, Bayern Munich's home kit may incorporate Adidas' HEAT.RDY tech, but the replica version will utilise an AEROREADY system instead.
Where's best to buy a football kit?
As touched on earlier, then are a ton of great websites where you can buy football shirts.
As touched on in our list of the best places to buy football boots, we'd argue the go-to place for the latest kits would be directly from manufacturers like Nike and adidas, or through the club itself.
However, there are also several websites which allow you to browse a wide variety of shirts from clubs and international teams from around the world all in one place. Kitbag is a particularly great example of this and one we'd recommend.
For older, discontinued kits, then sites like Sports Memorabilia or Classic Football Shirts are worth checking out. Keep in mind though that you're buying second-hand here, so there's no guarantee that what you're buying is genuine.
