The Victory Gold colouring is what ties all three 2015/16 Arsenal jerseys together and is complimented by gold PUMA cat logos and both sleeves as well as an all gold Arsenal logo on the opposite side. A classic V-neck template provides the finishing touches on a shirt that sticks to a similar design as the 2014/15 third jersey.

CHELSEA AWAY 15/16 BY ADIDAS

adidas have unveiled the new away strip for Chelsea to defend their Premier League title on the road next season. 

adidas have stuck to a three-way colour design that Chelsea have used on numerous classic white away kits over the years including the Champions League winning season of 2012. As with the 2015/16 home shirt the 'Yokohama Tyres' sponsor freshens up the overall design of the kit, a £40m per year deal that runs for 5 years, almost double the amount previous sponsor Samsung were chalking up. The Samsung logo was a popular sponsor that appeared on some beautifully minimal kits but the change in sponsor has given the Chelsea kits a new lease of life and fresh take.

The Chelsea blue cuffs on the away jersey represent the famous club colours and are joined by another band of red on the predominately white shirt. It'll take time to get used to the new sponsor with Samsung synonymous with Chelsea fans of a certain generation but all in all it's a couple of typically clean designs from adidas as Chelsea set about retaining their league title and embark on another assault in European football.

MAN CITY HOME 15/16 BY NIKE

Saving our closer look series for the very best in 2015/16 football replica, the MCFC Nike 'match' shirt deservedly makes the cut. But City shirts are just plain blue? Simplicity can be equally as beautiful as complex design and this effort from Nike is as clean as it gets.

Much has been made of Nike's 'match' tiered shirts that are worn by the professional elite. The enhanced designs offer extra levels of performance technologies with laser-cut ventilation holes in key areas to improve air circulation and an engineered mesh fabric in the front and back panels to increase airflow and facilitate enhanced movement with a more streamline cut.

Visually it's a much tidier design than last season's with the sketchy looking navy trim substituted for pristine white detailing in a much more "City" feel. With the red half of Manchester swapping the Swoosh for the Three Stripes, Manchester City will be flying the Nike flag alone this season in a city full of influential football culture and style.

Best Premier League signings of the Summer

With the Premier League Season less than a month away we look at 5 of the Top signings of the Summer and how they can improve their teams.

Lets start this off with a familiar name to the Premier League and London specifically,

Petr Cech - Arsenal FCCech was signed by Arsenal in June, Jose Mourinho was reluctant to let his back up shot stopper go to a rival club.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich granted Cech the move as he had been a fantastic servant to the club helping them win their first Premier League title back in 2005.

What Cech offers Arsenal that their other goal keepers don't is proven Premier League consistency.

He played the fewest games last season of his Chelsea career but still managed 4 clean sheets in 7 appearances which is one more than Arsenals Wojciech Szczesny managed in 17 games.

Cech's first Arsenal appearance comes against his old club Chelsea on the second of August in the Charity Shield.

Toby Alderweireld - Tottenham HotspurAlderweireld agreed to join Tottenham from Athletico Madrid on a five-year contract which runs until summer of 2020 at White Hart Lane despite Southampton threatening legal action over the transfer.

The transfer fee is estimated to be £11.5 million. He will be reunited with former Ajax teammates Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertoneghen who previously joined the North London side from Ajax.

Spurs will be hoping he can replicate his form he showed for Southampton last season which resulted in them having one of the best defenses in the league.

With centre back Younes Kaboul only managing 21 appearances in the Premier League in the past three seasons the hope is Alderweireld can replace him at the heart of the Spurs defense.

James Milner - LiverpoolMilner, who will wear the No.7 jersey at Anfield, turned his back on Champions League football with the deposed Premier League champions plus a more lucrative contract extension at the Etihad Stadium to become Liverpool’s first Summer signing on a £150,000-a-week deal.

Milner agreed to the Anfield move after being assured Rodgers would remain Liverpool manager following an end-of-season review conducted by the club’s owner, Fenway Sports Group.

The 29-year-old has admitted he was convinced to leave City by Rodgers’ willingness to hand him the central position that Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini could not offer on a regular basis at the Eithad.

Bastian Schweinsteiger - Manchester UnitedThe Red Devils agreed a fee of around £15million with Bayern Munich for the German World Cup winner's services and he will join the squad on their Pre-season tour of America.

The 30-year-old made more than 500 appearances for Bayern Munich, winning over 20 major honours and said that he wouldn't have left the Bundersliga champions for another other team other than the Red Devils.

Schweinsteiger worked with manager Louis van Gaal during the Dutchmen's 2 years stint at the club from 2009 till 2011.

The hope is his winning mentality and experience can push Man United into title contenders.

Andre Ayew - Swansea CitySwansea City announced that Ayew had joined the club on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract with the Swans in June.

Andre, son of African Football favorite Abedi Pelle had been linked with a move to the Premier League for years.

He could end up being the steal of the transfer as Ayew brings energy and goals to Swansea having only once failed to hit double figures during his time at Marseille.

Nike, the official ball supplier to three of the biggest leagues in Europe — Barclays Premier League, Serie A TIM and La Liga BBVA — has unveiled the new Ordem football for the start of the new season. It is Nike’s most innovative, technologically advanced and aerodynamically tuned ball to date.

Barclays Premier League Nike Ordem ball

In a game that’s more physically and technically demanding, the Nike Ordem football allows players to take control of the game knowing the ball will stay true.

La Liga BBVA Nike Ordem ball

Built for the next generation of footballers, the Nike Ordem offers optimal touch with new fuse-welded panels, unprecedented flight control with new aerodynamic NIKE AEROW TRAC grooves and maximum visibility with Nike RaDaR technology to help see the ball quicker.

Serie A Nike Ordem ball

The Nike Ordem ball is designed and engineered for a highly sensitive feel and explosive response off the foot. The ball consists of 12 fuse-welded panels in a three-layer casing system, and a poly-blend wrapped, free-floating carbon latex bladder.

Barclays Premier League Nike Ordem ball

The Nike Ordem features NIKE AEROW TRAC grooves, Nike Football’s newest proprietary innovation. The grooves are engineered to grip and channel the air to produce the truest trajectory and most consistent flight, which help ensure stability and accuracy in mid-air.

La Liga BBVA Nike Ordem ball

The surface of the Nike Ordem is emblazoned with Nike’s RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology. This is a graphic pattern, unique to each league, which creates a flickering effect as the ball rotates. RaDaR makes it easier for players to see the ball in their peripheral vision, allowing for faster reactions and decision-making.
