The 2019/20 Premier League season was unprecedented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing a three-month suspension from March to June. Liverpool, under Jürgen Klopp, dominated the league, securing their first league title in 30 years with a record-breaking seven games to spare. They finished 18 points ahead of second-placed Man City.
Man United and Chelsea completed the top four, while Leicester City narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification on the final day. At the bottom, Norwich, Watford, and Bournemouth suffered relegation.
Jamie Vardy claimed the Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer, becoming the oldest player to win the award.
Cada clube da Premier League tem uma identidade única, e nada demonstra isso melhor do que seus uniformes de jogo em casa. A temporada 2019-20 viu todos os 20 clubes vestirem suas cores com orgulho. Do icônico vermelho do Liverpool ao azul marcante do Chelsea, cada uniforme era um símbolo da herança do clube e da paixão de seus torcedores.
Enquanto os uniformes titulares visam exibir a identidade de um clube, os uniformes reserva visam fazer uma declaração. A temporada 2019-20 não foi exceção, com os clubes revelando designs verdadeiramente chamativos. Seja o preto e dourado ousado do Wolverhampton Wanderers ou o azul-petróleo vibrante do Manchester City, os uniformes reserva foram tão parte da narrativa da temporada quanto as próprias partidas.
Terceiros uniformes geralmente permitem um pouco mais de criatividade, e a temporada 2019-20 viu alguns designs verdadeiramente únicos. Esses uniformes, usados em situações em que tanto o uniforme titular quanto o reserva poderiam entrar em conflito com o do adversário, adicionaram uma camada extra de emoção à temporada. Do verde elétrico do Norwich City ao prata elegante do Leicester City, os terceiros uniformes eram um curinga em todos os sentidos da palavra.
Por trás de todo clube de sucesso, existe um grupo de proprietários dedicado. A temporada 2019-20 foi uma prova disso, com os proprietários tomando decisões importantes que moldaram o curso da temporada. De contratações estratégicas de jogadores a investimentos em infraestrutura, o papel dos proprietários dos clubes foi tão crucial quanto sempre.
