Arsenal have confirmed their new away kit will indeed be ‘midnight blue’. Here’s fashion student Andrey Arshavin giving us his best Russian stare…

No mistaking Almunia in yellow.

The Gunners have also confirmed that a third kit is in the pipeline...will the rumours of another white number be confirmed?

 Martin O'Neill Aston Villa will be kitted out like Fabio Capello's England when they venture away from Villa Park. Pity they used Gareth Barry for the promotional shots!

Chelsea look set for a radical overhaul, with Adidas dressing Roman's army in something akin to cycling gear?

Does this give the Stamford Bridge faithful the Blues?

Away days in white?

Or perhaps they're Jose Mourinho's Inter in disguise?

Rafael Benitez's Liverpool always look dapper in red, but how about this dark number for away days?

Nike have released the tempting promo shot of the new Manchester United kit...

...which appears to confirm inclusion of the black V as seen in the leaked picture below.

Louis Saha looks dashing in Everton's new home shirt which pays tribute to a version they wore in 1980s glory years.

Manchester City have three new kits with new kit supplier Umbro and a new sponsor. (Pictures courtesy of Jack Davies)

Smart and simple at Eastlands...

White and stripe for away days...

and dark destroyers...

Middlesbrough have signed a new deal with Adidas and appear to be following Chelsea in the style stakes with a nifty zip up number. It may be photoshopped but does it take your fancy?

A simple and smart look for Roy Hodgson's Europa League campaign with Fulham.

Portsmouth haven’t fundamentally changed much, aside from having a new sponsor…

Newcastle United have officially released their new home gear - although there isn't much you can change with black and white stripes!

It's all change at Blackburn under Sam Allardyce with a new home kit...

and a new away kit...

Tony Pulis has turned his Stoke City team into efficient Premier League assassins, so what better uniform for their travels than a dark and mysterious black...

Yellow is in abundance for the Lilywhites at White Hart Lane. Here's Tottenham Hotspur's new threesome...controversial.

You'd think it was quite hard to make a mess of an all white shirt...and yet look what Reebok have done to Bolton!

Wigan have stuck to their blue and white stripes - simple but effective, much like Steve Bruce.

West Ham United will be hoping they can put their sponsorship crisis behind them and focus on a bright future with Gianfranco Zola - so why so dark?

Birmingham City have joined the Hammers in turning towards the darker shades...

 Wolves will be hoping for an all white season...

And traditional orange for home games...

New owners, new manager, new kits at the Stadium of Light for Sunderland.

...and away...

It's been a while since Burnley made it to the top flight...so the Clarets are celebrating with some old school shirts. The kit manufacturers Errea haven't even included their logo.

...although they did for away days.

Across the border and into Scotland and Celtic have a smart new offering for away days.

There's no stopping the Europeans when it comes to making a fashion statement - here are the latest offerings from the continent.

AC Milan will look as rossoneri as ever...

Traditional as always from the Old Lady of Turin...

Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona will revert to their traditional multi-striped home shirt for Nou Camp encounters.

And away from home Lionel Messi and company will be literally on fire in this bright orange number.

Rivals Real Madrid have two new smart offerings - as simple as Black & White.

There’s no escaping the Adidas zip collar…even at German giants Bayern Munich! That's some top modelling Franck!

Ajax are facing dark times without Champions League, but their new away kit is very smart.

Steve McLaren’s FC Twente look smart in all red, although that sponsor seems a bit dominant!

It’s all change at Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar with three new kits in the offing.

Parisian style with stripes and home and polkadots away...

Marseille stick to their traditional colours...

The Confederations Cup kicks off in six days time - as an added bonus, we bring you an international special.

First up - the World's best team according to FIFA rankings - SPAIN.

Marcello Lippi's reigning World Champions ITALY will be stepping out something slightly different - check out this pale blue offering.

It's another standard offering from Dunga's BRAZIL...

And the USA will step out in these hooped pin stripes...
