The kit parade: Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City’s new shirts leaked

We’ve had all the hype about the supposed new England kit and now it’s the turn of the Barclays Premier League clubs to get involved in football’s fashion parade.
A quick trawl through the internet reveals some leaked pictures of some very suspect kits for the Big Four next season – and only Liverpool come out unscathed in the style stakes.
If the images are to be believed, Manchester United will be playing in a peasant-style lace up number in 2009-10 and Chelsea will be doing their best Terminator impressions at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester City, the nouveau riche pretenders to the crown, appear to have ditched their pale, sky blue shirts – reminiscent of the Lancashire sky – in favour of an Abu Dhabi inspired brighter shade.
Here is Sportsmail’s run-down of the shirts the Big Four could be sporting next season.
Arsenal
Back in time: Arsenal have gained inspiration from their 1982 away strip
The Gunners’ red home shirt will last another season, but their yellow away strip could be replaced with a racing green number. It seems they’re a year behind – bright colours are in this spring (so I’m told).
How it looked: Arsenal in 1982
The understated green number is more akin to a goal-keeper’s jersey than a football shirt and signals a return to Arsenal’s kit of 1982-83, when the Gunners played in a more frog-like green hue.
Trinny & Susannah rating (as imagined by Sportsmail):
7/10. Safe and unspectacular, a bit like Martin Keown in his hey day.
Liverpool
Got it right: Liverpool’s new away kit is leading the fashion stakes
Another potential pearler from shirt manufacturers Adidas as Liverpool swap their grey away kit for a swish black number with gold features and red piping. A little like last season’s European kit, this black number is sure to be popular with Liverpool fans.
Trinny & Susannah rating:
8/10. ‘Pure class’, as Stevie G would say.
Chelsea
I’ll be back: Chelsea appear to have turned to Arnie for their new kit
Hmmm…does Didier Drogba really need any more excuse to emphasise his muscular physique? This proposed Chelsea home shirt is embellished with what appear to be ‘pec panels’, sort of Robocop meets Gladiator sections in the chest area. And a zip, which will make the customary dab of Vicks a little difficult to place.
Trinny & Susannah rating:
5/10. Trying too hard is guaranteed failure on the catwalk, sorry, football pitch.
Manchester United
Surely not: Manchester United could be wearing this at Old Trafford next year
Home: I would pay cold, hard cash to see Cristiano Ronaldo trot out of the Old Trafford tunnel is this special ensemble. The potential home kit, admittedly, is better than the monstrous away version (see below, just you wait), but the retro V-neck, particularly the additional white triangle, is still pretty naff. Please, please, let this be Manchester United’s home kit next season….
Trinny & Susannah rating:
4/10. Champions of Europe? You won’t be champions of your own back yard in this boring design.
Fashion faux pas: Manchester United’s proposed away kit is awful
Away: Isn’t this truly wonderful? Wonderful as in the ‘I-wouldn’t-be-seen-dead-wearing-that’ way.
The silky white Grandad-style collar with a ridiculous lace up design, the plunging V-neck, the sheer bagginess of the whole thing – Wayne Rooney would look an absolute beauty in this baby. Coleen would not be amused.
Trinny & Susannah rating:
1/10. Awful. Just awful. A charity shop special.
Manchester City
Blue is the colour: Apparently the new Manchester City home shirt
The usual sky blue, if the shade is a little more eye-catching (which City hope to be next season), with white on the top of the sleeves.
The Etihad Airways logo, appropriately enough the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is arguably a classier replacement for package holiday company Thomas Cook across the centre of the jersey, while the badge is in traditional position across the left breast after a stint in the middle.
Trinny & Susannah rating:
7/10. Interesting navy bars down the side of the shirt, but it works, somehow.
