It's the best time of the year for football kit enthusiasts as clubs get decked out ready for the new season.

With the Premier League and EFL due to restart in August, clubs in England, as well as elsewhere, have been releasing their latest kits for the upcoming campaign.

For some fans, it's time for a new start and fresh hope, together with a new look, while for others it's about respecting the club's traditions.

We've put together a non-exhaustive list of new kits below. Vote for your favourite.

Inter Miami describe their new third kit as tapping into 80s nostalgia and leaning heavily on the "vibrancy of vintage Miami style". Throw a white linen blazer over the top to complete the look.

The MLS team boast a number of vintage stars in their line-up, including Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets.

Bournemouth's Hollywood owner Michael B Jordan has collaborated on a special edition kit that the Cherries will wear during their pre-season tour of California.

The club have produced two kits - one in red and one in black - with an interlocking cherry motif all over. If it was a cake it would be a Black Panther forest gateau.

Arsenal (away)

Arsenal's third kit was designed in collaboration with British African heritage brand Labrum London.

Designer Foday Dumbuya, who was born in Sierra Leone, explained, external that the use of pan-African colours are a nod to the club's close connection with their African fanbase, while the zig-zags bring energy - something which Arsenal have in abundance with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.

The motif across Chelsea's new home shirt is "the hottest part of the flame" according to the club. After a disappointing season in which they finished sixth, Chelsea's men will be hoping to ignite their title hopes under new manager Enzo Maresca this season.

Meanwhile, following Emma Hayes' departure at the conclusion of the last campaign, WSL champions Chelsea will be hoping that new manager Sonia Bompastor can carry the torch forward.

Latina Calcio's home kit is a bit of an epic

Italian designer Ezeta have turned to Greek mythology for the design of Serie C side Latina Calcio's new kit.

The pattern across the jersey is inspired by a fifth-century BC vase attributed to Persephone, which depicts Ulysses and the sorceress Circe in Homer's Odyssey. Circe lived on the island of Aeaea, known today as the Circeo Promontory, which is located in the Province of Latina, south of Rome.

Barcelona's new home kit goes back to basics

To mark their 125th anniversary, Barcelona's new home kit for the 2024-25 campaign is a throwback to the first ever Barcelona strip from 1899.

After finishing 10 points off leaders Real Madrid last season, the Catalan club will be hoping to get back on track under new boss Hansi Flick. Barcelona's women, meanwhile, are reigning champions in Liga F and the Women's Champions League.

Juventus's new home kit is out of this world

At face value, Juventus' home shirt is business as usual, but a closer inspection reveals a subtle crater pattern designed to reflect the moon's surface. The pattern is supposed to inspire "players and fans alike to explore new horizons".

The Old Lady have not won Serie A since the 2019-20 season.

On the eve of the centenary of Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace are looking to the future, with stars like Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton, both of whom travelled to Germany with Gareth Southgate's England team this summer - Guehi becoming a regular starter at Euro 2024.

Their new home shirt sticks to the traditional vertical red and blue stripes, with a lively design that reflects the "energetic spirit and identity of the club".

The Yellow Eagle has landed

Palace's 'Eagle Yellow' away strip features a simplified eagle-on-ball crest and an eagle graphic across the front.

The club said: "Eagle Yellow  follows in a long tradition of yellow kits for the club over the years, with the colour first emerging in the 1960s and playing a part in some of the most memorable occasions in our history on the road."

The club describe Ipswich's new home shirt as having a "heritage feel". The badge has been picked out with a shield around it and the original Umbro diamond is used to celebrate the brand's centenary.

Kieran McKenna's team reached 96 points in the Championship last season and will be hoping to bring that good form into their first year back in the top flight in 22 years.

We may see a new-look Liverpool under new manager Arne Slot

It's all change at Anfield with the departure of former manager Jurgen Klopp, but the Reds will be hoping for continued success under new Dutch manager Arne Slot.

The collar on this season's home kit is a nod to the shirt worn by Liverpool in 1983-84 under Joe Fagan. Like Slot, Fagan succeeded another Anfield great in Bob Paisley and managed to deliver the European Cup in his first year in charge.

Tottenham Hotspur (home)

Will the Postecoglou project deliver silverware this campaign?

Tottenham's home shirt for the new campaign combines a white base with navy sleeves, collar and side panels. Spurs just missed out on Champions League football last season, but will be hoping to make further progress under Ange Postecoglou.

Meanwhile, Jan Robert Vilahamn led the women's team to the FA Cup final last season.

Newcastle's new home shirt reflects the kit Alan Shearer wore back in the day

Adidas have taken over from Castore in manufacturing Newcastle's kits for the 2024-25 season. The German brand looked after the Magpies' kits between 1995-2010 - a period that saw the likes of Alan Shearer, David Ginola and Faustino Asprilla play for the club.

Newcastle's new home jersey harks back to the kit worn by the team during the 2002-03 season.

Fulham are entering their third consecutive season in the Premier League

The club describe their new home kit as giving a "contemporary twist" to a "timeless, classic, look," with a "waffle base" fabric throughout. Waffle, indeed.

Manchester United finished eighth in the league last season, but won the FA Cup

Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has opted for continuity at Old Trafford by sticking with manager Erik ten Hag, who won the FA Cup last season.

In terms of this season's kit, there is a new sponsor and the iconic red has a glow effect because of the rayon-style fabric.

The reigning Premier League champions will push for a historic five-in-a-row this campaign.

Their new home shirt features a graphic detail on the collar and cuffs and the font on the back was designed in collaboration with City fan Noel Gallagher. You gotta roll with it.
