Dryworld and JD Sports disappeared from the Premier League scene in 2017-18, as did two of the five teams that were with adidas last season. With Middlesbrough and Hull CIty releagated to the Championship, the German sportswear giants are left with just three teams in the top flight this season - Mnachester United, West Bromwich Albion and Watford (previously with Dryworld).
Puma were the undoubted beneficiaries of Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town gaining promotion to the Premier League, boosting their numbers from three clubs to five. Though Umbro saw Hull City relegated, they replaced them with AFC Bournemouth whose kit was previously supplied by JD Sports. Under Armour, meanwhile saw their Premier League presence halved when Tottenham Hotspur switched to Nike. The American company also welcomed Brighton and Hove Albion to the Premier League, not to mention the reigning champions Chelsea, who ended their contract with adidas.
