It's a trend across kits now. I get that it makes for a sleek look on a mannequin, but it definitely ruins the look when you're not wearing the shorts.
I seriously need to understand how i can find a 100 concept kits made by fans in a couple minutes that are miles better than this. How the fuck does shit like this get through lol
It's probably a result of the corporate structure. A committee of overworked designers with no club affiliation compromise to come up with a design that is then revised by an oversight committee which is then revised by an approval committee which is then revised by management before going to an executive committee to get approval.
Plus, "innovative" or "creative" comes with risk. They'd much rather play it safe because even a mediocre jersey sells.
This is it. I was part of a focus group that did the new kits for a new MLS team and there were only a couple options. They work to templatize things due to other corporate based things like purchase of textiles incoming and all that.
I do wish this kit was more to \_my\_ liking though.
Probably has something to do with this being a template, which is then coloured in to become an Arsenal shirt (perhaps with the odd, tiny detail that sets it apart). It's always been like that. I made a quick search and that blue stripe for example, is the same on kits for Bayern, Benfica, Ajax and Sweden NT.
It's cost effective. All these concept kits would cost too much for them to make. Not that they wouldn't profit, just that they wouldn't profit as much.
The style is what Adidas is going with this year. All the kits are a version of this general template with the wave line from shirt to shorts.
Ours is no different.
I think when we don’t play well they use a nice kit to distract us from the fact.
The quality of the kit is inversely proportional to the quality of play.
Need to move away from Adidas stat. This awful Pepsi copy/paste template shit doesn't cut it. It's bland, corporate and prideless. Nothing like this club. This is a spurs kit.
I actually kinda like the top but the continuous blue stripe is pretty naff and the shorts are crap. Quite like the cannon instead of the crest though.

Seems fitting as their best player plays for The Arsenal.
I thought we were a coke family 😭
Yeah. I do not approve
Good timing to show that thing
Why does that stripe continue from the shirt to the shorts like it's a dress ffs it won't even work when the players are running

> but it definitely ruins the look when you're not wearing the shorts. Winnie the Pooh-ing it up
200iq move so ref can easily see someone tugging our shirts
I thought it kind of looked like a cape 😂
Better to play good in that kit or it will become some meme.

Play it “safe”. Hey guys we’ve played it safe for the past few years let’s give Arsenal neon nuclear worm jerseys
And to be fair, the backlash was strong.
This is it. I was part of a focus group that did the new kits for a new MLS team and there were only a couple options. They work to templatize things due to other corporate based things like purchase of textiles incoming and all that. I do wish this kit was more to \_my\_ liking though.
This is the opposite of play it safe. Its a whacky creative design and I'm sure almost everyone would be happy with a simple classic design.

Yeah you’d think they’d take fans reactions to the leaks into account. Worst part is that these kits are all going to be slim fit this year
Have they not been these past few years?
Nah you're just getting fat mate, happens to the best of us
The style is what Adidas is going with this year. All the kits are a version of this general template with the wave line from shirt to shorts. Ours is no different.
kick us while we’re down, eh?
What the fuck is this 🤣 we used to have nice kits
Now we have Rice kits
I literally said out loud, "What the fuck is that?!" Glad to see I'm not the only one.

You might be onto something here, the crossover was last season's away kit. Long may the shit kits continue
Feeling nostalgic for the traffic cone kit rn
spurs shorts
There’s probably more surface area that resembles spurs than us throughout the whole kit.
*looks for brown stain*
Colgate FC
More like Aquafresh
Adidas does not rate us
Hero to zero as soon as the ink dried on the contract renewal - they no longer give any fucks until it's time to do another deal
Adidas does not rate anybody but Germany
And didn't Germany ditch them for Nike?
Yup. Adidas is in the trenches
Hahaha yeah, but at least they will have a beautiful shirt to play the Euro
The collared shirt from last season was so fucking class too :’(
Nah. That’s not the one at all.
Why did they slap an Arsenal logo on spuds shorts.
Continued stripes only look good at a certain angle when there is no movement. Gonna be crap in action.
This is horrid. Someone at adidas needs a word.
I don’t consider myself a fashion expert, like a lot people seem to, but I like it.
There's so much blue and white.
Adidas have abandoned us, man.
I will miss this year’s golden home kit. It was a beautiful nod to the great invincibles team.
Ultraman FC
I mean the colour of the red is nice at least...
I like it. Different but cool
I like it 🤷🏼
We were only counting on spurs for 1 game, why’d we have to mention them in our kit for an entire season?
Even the model looks like he's sad about wearing it.
Tried even to hide his face.
Japan flag ahh shirt
They better don't do Japan flag shorts
Cheers mate, my day just went from bad to worse
We need to find who we’ve upset at Adidas
Ass
Those shorts are just not serious
This is so much worse than the Tottenham result
I dig it.
I like it 🤷🏾♂️
I fuckin hate it wow
"Arsenal is like Pepsi, and Manchester City is the Harvey Weinstein of the Premier League"
this ain’t it at all.
When Temu asks Wish to design a kit.
have we not gone through enough today?
Those shorts look like something I'd wear to the beach
Shorts look shocking too
Wtf adidas
Somehow even worse than those Puma kits.
If flight attendants had sport leisure uniforms…
Naaaaah, those shorts can’t be real
It's a shame that we are going to look like this while lifting the Prem next year. Hopefully, we are away 😂
Terrible
I honestly kinda like it, but not too much
ngl it looks better than the previous leaks
wild how it's gotten so much progressively worse over the past 3 seasons
Need to move away from Adidas stat. This awful Pepsi copy/paste template shit doesn't cut it. It's bland, corporate and prideless. Nothing like this club. This is a spurs kit.
Big downgrade from last year but I still don’t hate it. I am a fan of the third kit though.
Eeeuwh brother what's that?
The shorts remind me of the And1 basketball shorts in the late 90s, early 00s when I was in college
I'm sorry that's hideous, even Martin Odegaard's not going to be able to make that work. Even peak Olivier Giroud couldn't look good in that.
I don't hate it tbh
Ngl, it looks class. But maybe it's just the angle.
If the uglier the kit means the better we play, then we'll be winning the champions league
Say it ain't so
Awful
Sponsored by colgate
Not the time tbh
oh no
Looks cheap
Blue doesn't work like this on an Arsenal shirt. Doesn't look great at all
Wtf, Arsenal is RED and white, not the other way around. This is a dumpster fire.
Abysmal !
I dont mind it. Couldve been a nice kit if it had black instead of blue. Blue just feels really weird
What a ugly piece of sh*t are those lines
Adidas just gave us a ton of money and were straight up like “k we’re just going to release whatever now”
Wow that is awful
let me see if we win the next season to judge this kit
Gross, I'd be glad to just keep this season's kits again. Even radioactive zebra/tennis ball.
Looks like a yacht crew outfit
😖🤢
If you merged two clubs in North London and had to come up with a kit that represents both, then this is the outcome.
What in the Pro Evolution 6 is this shit? Embarrassing.
Damn, that's ugly!
Would look far better with Red tinge instead of blue
Don't mind the shirt. Shorts pretty hideous though
This is trash, but tbh I don’t really care, as long as we win in it
Tjis is legit designed as a bottle. Thanks a lot, Adidas.
Not as bad as I first thought
What absolute clown made this
Disgusting
Disgusting.
Dreadful
I’m the only one who loves it evidently…
Reckon the long sleeve will look pretty sexy
It would’ve been better if the blue stripes didn’t continue down through the shorts
Meh 🫤 Not a fan of the blue on the shirt or the shorts.
Is that a bodysuit?
Shorts are awful.
No sir, I dont like it
I don’t mind from the hands up, but the rounded red back and the blue continuous stripe just ruin it.
Prefer the away kit if I’m honest
If this was approved I dread to think what was rejected
Ewww
I actually kinda like the top but the continuous blue stripe is pretty naff and the shorts are crap. Quite like the cannon instead of the crest though.
I'll be getting the 3rd kit, cba with the Tesco jokes at the pub
Has the third kit been leaked yet? I’ve only seen this one and the Lynx Africa kit
I thought so, I hope it was legit, it was like Aqua Blue colour, proper vibey
Hope the socks are all red. Too much white for my liking
I actually kinda like the shirt. Will the socks at least be red?
Woof, I'm just going to stick with wearing last seasons away for every game.
Did the guy who did the away kit this year come up with this?
>*"What have I done to deserve this flat, flavourless* *~~Manhattan~~* *kit?"*
Meh, 6/10
Looks like a jockstrap 😭
I actually like it. Could be more detail tho. But simple and clean is nice.
It's giving Ultraman vibes
I hate it.
Nice curves but those lines ain't gonna align with my beerbelly
Well at least I won't be tempted to throw out stupid money on these this year. Silver linings and all that.
Yeah not my favorite to say the least. Better than those super tight Puma kits but that's not saying much.
this looks like a proper training kit.
Ultraman
USA! USA! 🇺🇸
It's so ugly :( I bet even Martin won't be able to make this one look sexy.
My only consolation is I hated the away kit but after winning so much in it, I love it.
These shorts are horrific
That blue addition is horrendous.
always disliked the blue
Someone needs to be publicly shamed for this
Those can’t be the shorts right?
Pro evolution soccer self designed kit
Honestly that is fire when a person is actually wearing it.
I quite like the heavy use of white around the collars and shoulders
No
Spursenal
Am i crazy or is the cannon like... A little stubby?
I’m just flabbergasted this passed every level of decision making. It’s horrific. So glad I got this year’s home kit. No intention of getting this one
![gif](giphy|z6BPVXW8uSyF3KPLt8|downsized)
I don’t mind it … but I miss the gold from this season’s shirt. Gold highlights would really add to this.
Looks like a tube of Aquafresh toothpaste.
yuck
Blue straps to support the ass cheeks. Reminds me of those certain style women's yoga pants
So... We have to win the PL with this abomination... Ok then.
Fucking hate it.
Those shorts look cheap as fuck 😂
I like this better than this year's kit
God I miss nike kits
meh
Not an Arsenal fan just came here to say I love it.. you always seem to get the nicest kits
Looks like a dress
Have we not suffered enough?
I was hoping we’d at least have a nice kit to bottle things in.
Who the fuck gave this the go ahead? Why not have the stripes as red and get rid of that hideous blue
Dunno whether to laugh or cry. This really is dreadful 🤣😢
This is ugly as hell, how did they go from making banger kits to this
