Attention: The English Premier League kicks off Saturday, bringing to the forefront some pretty great soccer -- if you're into that sort of thing -- and some sweet unis.
Here's a quick look at five of our favorite English Premier League kits, all of them new for the 2012-13 season:
Fulham away

Swansea City home

Aston Villa away
Neville Williams/Aston Villa FC/Getty ImagesMove over, Seattle Sounders, you have some competition in the electric green department. Could the club's American ownership (soon-to-be-former Browns owner Randy Lerner) have inspired the MLS-like approach for players Barry Bannan and friends?
Arsenal away
Stuart MacFarlane/Getty ImagesRecycle bottles, not players. That's Arsenal's approach -- or at least it needs to be -- as Lukas Podolski is in London to (somewhat) replace the departed Robin van Persie, while the club's new away kit is made from previously used plastic.
Chelsea away
