Every club and national team has at least two kits each season: a home kit and an away kit. If you are deciding which to buy, here is what sets them apart and how to choose.

Why teams have two kits

Teams wear an away (or change) kit when their usual home colours would clash with the opposition, so both sides remain easy to tell apart. The home kit uses a club traditional colours, while the away kit gives designers room to experiment with bolder or contrasting looks.

How the designs differ

• Home kits stick closely to a club identity and historic colours.
• Away kits are often more adventurous, with colours you would not see at home.

Which should you buy?

If you want the classic, recognisable look, choose the home kit. If you prefer something different and stand-out, the away kit is often the more distinctive choice. Many collectors enjoy owning both. Explore current away kits like the Arsenal Away 2025/26 and Liverpool Away 2025/26.

Frequently asked questions

Why do teams change kits during a match?

If both teams kits are too similar, one switches to a change kit so players, officials and fans can tell them apart clearly.

Is a home or away kit better value?

Both are priced similarly. The better choice depends on whether you prefer the traditional look or a more distinctive design.
