Leaked Pics Reportedly Showing Arsenal’s Kit For Next Season Will Divide Opinion

It is around this time of year that designs for next season’s kits are finalised – and if this Arsenal one turns out to be accurate, then it will certainly be cause for debate.

Images began doing the rounds on social media late last night purporting to show the home shirt that the Gunners will be lining out in next season, in what could only be described as a radical departure from their usual design.

Immediately, one of the main talking points is the colour of the shorts. Arsenal have only ever had white shorts with their home kit, so to be changing things up by adopting navy would cause a bit of division among the more traditional members of their fan base.

The large cannon on the lower torso is also a bit of a departure from the plain blank red that they normally adopt for the front of their shirts – though there are only so many times that plain red with white sleeves can be used before it becomes a bit jaded, especially if Puma are committed to changing the kit every year.

As always, take these pictures with a massive does of salt. Without a picture of the actual kit rather than a computerised image, pictures such as the above composite cannot be completely verified.

Naturally, the club themselves are not commenting at this time, and one would imagine that no word from them will be forthcoming until they announce a release date for the new shirt to go on sale.

Whether this design turns out to be the one they use, remains to be seen.
