Liverpool — Warrior

Little-known US company Warrior Sports replace global sportswear giant Adidas as Liverpool's kit suppliers from next season under a six-year agreement thought to be worth £150 million.

The press release for the kit says: "It's inspired by greatness. It's modern tradition. It's unapologetically Liverpool FC. It will make you feel 7ft tall." Steady on guys, it looks pretty smart - but it's just a shirt.

One bone of contention for some fans is the removal of the eternal flame from the crest which was added following the Hillsborough disaster of 1989. However, the shirt does have two small flames either side of the number '96' on the back of the neck in remembrance of those who died.

Liverpool fans can pre-order the new kit from the club's official online store. It costs £45 for an adult shirt (£50 for long sleeves) and £35 for a junior shirt (£40 for long sleeves).  It will be launched on June 1^st.

Arsenal — Nike

Oh la la — that has been the reaction from many to the new Arsenal home shirt that has a distinctly French feel about it. The two Arsenal fans in the Eurosport office had a heated argument about the inclusion of blue on the sleeves with one fan saying he "hated" the blue while the other replied: "There is only so much you can do with red with white sleeves."

The blue hoop is inspired by the home kit socks worn in the 1930s under legendary manager Herbert Chapman, when the club won their first five league titles.

Arsenal fans have also been noting that Robin van Persie plays a key role in the promotional campaign, which they are taking as a positive sign that he is set to stay at the club.

Arsenal fans can pre-order the new kit from Arsenal Direct. It costs £45 for an adult shirt (£50 for long sleeves) and £35 for a junior shirt (£40 for long sleeves). It will be launched on June 7th.

Manchester United — Nike

Manchester United are keeping their cards close to their chest with their new shirt and only this week issued the 'teaser' picture that you can see above on their facebook page.

The gingham design is a nod to Manchester's famous cotton industry of 1878 when the club was formed and comes with the tagline: "Forged in Industry, Made of Manchester."

Neither the club nor Nike have released a full picture of the shirt yet, but leaked pictures of what appears to be the new home and away kits can been seen at websites such as this one — and the jersey seems to be getting mostly negative reaction from fans.

CHELSEA — Adidas

Chelsea have unveiled their new strip for the 2012/2013 season and it features a stroke of gold as a means of making it appear sexier!

Modelled by striker Fernando Torres, midfielder Frank Lampard, Daniel Sturridge and goalkeeper Petr Cech, the new Blues strip maintains much of the same traits as the current Chelsea shirt, however, has incorporated a touch of gold running along the sleeves.
