Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Everyone wants to know what their club will look like when they play their first game of next season.

Some clubs are lucky enough to have a colour scheme so iconic - Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid - that a home kit rarely goes wrong.

Others try to be a bit more creative and end up as wide of the mark as a Mario Balotelli long-ranger.

Plenty use neon and it never, ever works.

Having scoured the web for kits (with huge help from the excellent Footy Headlines) we've found some of the best and worst efforts for next season.

What we've learnt:

- DO stick to classic colour schemes and retro styles

- DON'T revert to awful neon if you can help it

- DO try and keep your kit free of gaudy sponsorship logos

- DON'T try to do too much

- DO try and add a proper collar rather than make it look like a t-shirt

- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT employ the designer of Austrian side Sturm Graz

This gallery will be updated periodically - some of these are rumours and leaks that may be false
