Sebastian Zucchet

Teams releasing their newest kits for the season is every football fan’s favourite time of year. In this article we’ll rate numbers 10 through 6 of the best kits that have been released for the upcoming 2022-23 season in Europe. So far.

10. Millwall

We start in central London with one of the most hated clubs, Millwall. Their beautiful new home shirt is made by Hummel, and it features a lion on the shirt, which represents the club's badge, and the ferociousness of the fans. It is the standout feature of this incredible shirt, and will no doubt strike fear into their opponents.

9. Barcelona

Next is Barcelona, we have their away strip made by Nike, it is a gold kit and all logos are dark navy. The color and sleeve design of this new shirt have been inspired by the gold medals that athletes get at the Olympic events, 30 years after the Olympics took place in Barcelona in 1992. In addition, the colors of the five Olympic rings are on the cuffs of the sleeves and on the socks.

8. Lazio

The Mizuno S.S. Lazio 2022-23 home shirt is classic sky blue with the club’s iconic eagle, Olimpia, with a clean and timeless embossed graphic repeated diagonally on the front of the jersey. The shirt incorporates the run bird logo on the right chest and S.S. Lazio’s club crest on the left.

7. Crystal Palace

Introducing a modern take on a stripes look, the Macron Crystal Palace 22-23 home jersey comes with 3 red and 2 blue brushstroke stripes on the front with the sleeves continuing the look. It is an incredible shirt where the sponsor fits in well and the pattern is so unique, bringing a fresh look that everyone seems to love.

6. Ipswich Town

The Umbro Ipswich Town 2022-23 home shirt is blue with accents in red and white, featuring a distorted linear graphic that's inspired by the architecture of Cobbold Stand at Portman Road, their home stadium. And it looks bloody brilliant with longtime fan Ed Sheeran wearing it.
