New Arsenal Home Kit Is Gorgeous (With Photos)
By Ollie Irish
Mmm, that is about as good as a modern kit with a sponsor’s logo gets. It almost makes me jealous of Arsenal fans who get to wear it. Almost.
The PR eco waffle: “Every shirt is made entirely from recycled polyester, crafted from up to eight plastic water bottles as part of Nike’s ‘Considered Design’ programme, which sees discarded plastic bottles diverted from landfills to be used in the manufacturing process.”
More about the kit on Arsenal.com

Will Cesc Fabregas ever wear the kit in anger? It looks increasingly likely:
“I haven’t said that I will definitely leave Arsenal,” Fabregas told the Mirror.
“Everything is possible. Now I have my head and my focus on the World Cup. I am very proud to be captain of Arsenal and I love the club and have respect for them. It gave me much pride to be made captain.”

Even as a spurs man i LOVE this kit. its beautiful. Fair play to arsenal, theyv got a gudd’un this year. Good job we’ve got a beauty coming too
Great kit! Simple, clean and traditional.
The photoshopping on this is really terrible though. WTF is up with the silver patch on Theo’s thigh?
silver patch on thoe shorts looks like an air vent, either that or somwhere to ut his bleeding ear rings in whilst sitting on the bench!!
Prefer the new Spurs effort meself!
looks comfortable too unlike last years. Just as I was about to buy the 1971 liam brady one too. finally a nice home kit! ill be making a purchase.

1971 Liam Brady? Either you mean Charlie George, or you mean 1979. Youngsters today, don’t know their history!
Hahaha! Nice catch.
Btw, love your blog Swissgooner (i.e. if you’re the one who writes the in-depth articles about football finances :D)
Van persi has the ugliest legs in the premiere league !!
It’s Really Nice
How are inanimate objects beautiful. Beautiful things are sexually attractive and I for one sensible sane person would not have sex with a football kit.
I personally think it’s uninspired and very ordinary. Haven’t bought a genuine shirt in years, knobheads buy replica strips and I ain’t a knobhead I’m afraid.
great shirt
should have red socks
pretty nice glad they kept emirates
It looks good but not as that of the away jersey.
Brought up with this kit in the 70′s.
Hated it then, why go back to such a boring style.
The silver patch on theo’s shorts is the compression shorts(underneath the arsenal kit) that are worn with the compression shirt that alot of players wear these days
Speaking as another ‘kit-envious’ Spurs fan; I have to hold my hands up… that really is a classically good looking kit. and it’s good for all the right reasons… nothing tacky, harks back to a bygone era that (for anyone who was alive back then) always fills you with misty-eyed nostalgia!
I only hope that’s as good as their season gets… but I fear not!
Fantastic. The Gunners vs Spurs matches this year can turn out to be crap but hey, with both teams wearing extremely smart kits the photos will be worth looking at from years to come.
The only thing wrong with the kit? That dreadful focus-group/maketing campain oriented badge.
Really like the red cuffs on the long-sleeve version.
woww..I’m a ‘pool supporter..but I must say..RVP will look delish in this :)
