the following season.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Neds we could do a Premier League season preview and tell you who is going to win the title (Manchester City) or who is going to finish stone dead last (Burnley), but there\u2019s only one set of rankings that matter: which club has the best set of kits.<\/p>\n<p>As we did in <a
