Inter Milan Home 2021-22 This season’s Inter kit features a pretty wild all-over snake-skin print, which thankfully in this photo hasn’t been desecrated by their silly new crypto-token-something sponsor logo. The toning on the snake-skin also still gives the black and blue stripe feel of a classic Inter kit.

Barcelona Away 2021-22 A very simple light violet jersey, with the main highlights being the iridescent badges — quite similar to something that PSG sported a couple of years back — and alternate red/blue stripes on each side.
Chelsea Home 2021-22 Nike have continued to find a way to do an all-blue jersey without making it all-blue … if that makes sense. The warped checks and zig-zags bring some modern fun without — at least in my opinion — being too offensive for traditionalists.
Paris Saint-Germain Away 2021-22 PSG’s kits rarely disappoint, and this season’s white/pastel-pink colour combo is very nice while still fitting with their usual center-vertical-stripe pattern in a unique way. The alternating colours on the sleeve trim are a nice touch too.
Liverpool Away 2021-22 What’s not to like? The off-white colour, a proper collar, the deep green and fluorescent red trim. It’s all very nice and I like it a lot.
Sydney FC Third 2019-20 Somewhat an inverse of the home kit, they get points for trying, but that’s about it. I generally like the “dark kit with bright trim/logos” look, but this one doesn’t do it for me. The charcoal colour is growing on me, and I don’t mind the slightly more visible geometric pattern, but the cross-bar/collar-bone thing is really distracting. For me, the biggest issue is the execution of the single colour Sydney FC badge, I don’t think that’s the right way to ‘invert’ it. With a couple of small tweaks this could be much, much better.
Sydney FC Away 2019-20 Easily my favourite of the three Sydney FC kits this year. Yeah, it’s a mostly white kit, but the template is slightly better than the home and third kits. The single button collar is the sort of small detail I like, and the slight angle on the cuffs is a nice touch too. Features the same subtle geometric pattern as the home kit, but used on the body rather than the shoulders. Again the inconsistent blues in this photo don’t seem to be as noticeable in real life. Overall, they should have based the home kit on this.
Sydney FC Home 2019-20 The switch to Under Armour means new kits for Sydney this season. The good news is that the blue appears to be less saturated in real life that in this image, and the colour inconsistency between the logo and kit is less pronounced. I like the subtle geometric pattern across the shoulders, but overall the top half of the template – specifically the cross-bar/collar-bone thing – leaves a little to be desired. They do make up some points for making their front-of-shirt Star Casino sponsorship an optional extra, so you can (and should) omit it if you buy one online.
