Before every new season, football fans hit the internet before hitting the club shop, searching for leaks of new patterns, gradients, fabrics and feels.

After all, a new season is only a new season once the new playing kits drop.

Whether they come through minor tweaks to the historic home kits, alternative colours coming through away strips or the completely funky third kit designs, there is something for every fan, from conservative to radical.

However, while the colours, collars and cuffs should be enough to have supporters parting with their pounds and pence, it has been the brands emblazoned on the front of these kits that either make them or break them.

Fans don't need a degree in design or the keenest eye for fashion to know when a combination of club and sponsor complement one another well.

Still, on-field success never hurts to foster fond memories, cattle-branding certain sponsors into folklore forever.

Since the English Premier League kicked off in 1992, 51 clubs have called the top-flight home, some going on to become champions, while others were relegated from competition and memory.

From Newcastle to Portsmouth; Norwich to Swansea, here are the most iconic sponsors of all time.
