Brentford FC's keeping its home shirt for two seasons - and some say other teams may follow suit.
Brentford's chief executive Jon Varney says everyone at the club is "fully behind" the decision.
"Whilst it is not normal practice for Premier League clubs to roll a kit over for two seasons, fans have told us that they would be in favour of the savings that a two-season shirt would provide," he adds. Brentford's adult home replica shirt currently costs £49, while shorts are £25. Full kits at some clubs can cost more than £100.
The club also says it wants to be more sustainable. A shirt made from polyester - as most football shirts are -Even recycled polyester takes hundreds of years to decompose and can lead to microfibres escaping into the environment.
Kit manufacturers pay a lot of money, especially to big teams, to make their shirts and sell the replicas.
