The new Panini 2024 Premier League stickers are here and one influencer has managed to get his hands on the album and stickers days before launch.
The launch of the stickers is earlier than last year as Panini opened pre orders on 4 December with the official launch date being set as 7 December. However Youtuber and sticker expert GBW, who has a huge following for his entertaining unboxings, has managed to get his hand on the soft cover album and an entire box of Premier League stickers early.
The sticker album includes home shirts, formations, and team information including managers and staff. There are also surplus players for squad members who did not warrant a sticker this year. The traditional shiny badges in ‘ice foil’ pattern and ‘gold elite stickers’ for special players for each team. A new set of ‘world class’ stickers make up a double page spread in the centre of the album as a major new addition to the set.
GBW says: “The elite stickers are stunning. The shinies have gone up a notch. The quality on Panini stickers and the Premier League ones in particular are second to none.”

There are also ‘legend’ stickers including Cristiano Ronaldo, Alan Shearer and Frank Lampard, and Next Gen stickers including the likes of Evan Ferguson and Alejandro Garnacho. There are also ‘great goals stickers’ in the centre section of the team.
Manchester City players will have a gold Premier League badge on them as the current holders of the Premier League and the set contains a number of ‘Captain Parallel’ stickers. The controversial stickers are randomly inserted into packs and will be limited edition but while collectable they do stand out compared to the standard stickers on the pages. There will also be 48 transfer update stickers released in March as an update after the January transfer window closes.
