11. Huddersfield

Huddersfield have switched from Puma to Umbro, and surprisingly the results are positive. Instead of the strange patterned kits of last season, Huddersfield go back to clean solid stripes with Umbro. They’ve returned to their old Terrier crest (only on the uniforms), giving them a very unique badge compared with the rest of the league. More teams should go back to their classic badges, even if it’s only on a third kit. Anything we can do to avoid more badges like Juventus’ is a positive change for the sport.

Huddersfield were victims of some strange Puma experimentation last season, which was really unfortunate given the fact that it was their first season in the Premier League. They’ve had good kits throughout their history, and this year’s selection is a solid return to form.

The away kit is essentially the same as the home, swapping blue and white for red and black. It looks nice, but it may be mistaken for a Bournemouth shirt at first glance. Maybe Huddersfield can confuse their opponents when they wear it and get some easy wins. Maybe not.

The third kit is neon yellow and navy, and it’s easily the worst of the three. It’s the only one in the bunch where the sponsor’s logo sticks out like a sore thumb, and that’s a big negative. I don’t anticipate that they’ll be wearing it as much as the others though, so maybe it isn’t much of a problem as it could be.

It’s better to have a bad third kit than a bad primary though, so it’s hard to criticize Huddersfield too much.
