Apparently its fake and Adidas are not going to make Arsenal kits? or is that old news now
The two were rumoured to be in negotiations, but they supposedly broke down around January/February time.
That article I posted was from mid-April though, so I'm not sure what the current situation is really. I've also seen a leaked yellow, Arsenal away kit on the net, manufactured by Nike - so I guess we'll probably need to wait for some kind of official announcement before we know.
Nike make some shite kits, Adidas make some shite kits, neither company is any better than the other. I happen to like the new home kit and hate the away, but they're only t-shirts, and they only last a year. Seems to me a lot of fans take it personally. The new Adidas Bayern home kit is class, but the new Adidas Milan Away kit is awful. Swings & roundabouts etc.
Arsenal are going to adidas from the 2014 season.
Plain Adidas 3 stripes are always lovely. Nike do make some nice kids, but unfortunately we do always seem to get these rank frankenstein jobs.
The artwork on the shirt represents LFC breaking free from the corruption of the Manchester United Football Association.When I scrolled over it I thought that middle shirt was a corrupted image!!
I have no idea what you're talking about. Almost every Adidas kit I see looks abysmal.
Don't mind a black collar tbh,
That's the exception that proves the rule really. I love that kit but I usually want to see white as the main trim colour on our home shirts. If only to make sure there has been an obvious change to this season's kit from a distance, they should have made it white next season, too.
That's also irritating as we should really have seen the back of the awful gingham this season, why are we getting more of it (in what is really only a slight variation of the current third kit) next season?
The black City shirt is the same template as our new home, it's been a while since we had an all black shirt too, and if they'd given us that with the gold/yellow logos, it'd have been almost a modern-day version of the famous 'Kung Fu' away that was released exactly 20 years ago. Nike are thick.
I would be very surprised if the owners would allow a kit with Green/Gold in.
Well, certainly not the combination of those, but the club crest is gold, they haven't changed that.
Good post. you're entirely right. Last season the majority moaned abut a design kit and wanted plain, this year they'll moan about a plain kit.
Bollocks. Most of the Adidas ones are shite. Aren't you from Strabane though? They all wear 4 stripe adidas up/down there.
Agreed.
To this day that kit remains one of my favourites!! Agree, Nike have missed a trick with this one!!
I quite like the look of our new home kit. I won't buy it though, because Nike are nasty bastards, as are most of the sportswear titans.
It's wank looking. The shirt itself is OK, but the collar is shite looking with the wrong colour, the three buttons and it's too tight around the neck. The Aon logo is far too big too.
Now those saying Adidas are wank, tell me, are these wank?
With Adidas it's all classic good looking shirts with a simple but class looking pattern replicated but with subtle changes in styling and excellent use of colours.

Real Madrid's home reminds me of our kit circa 84. I loved it. But yeah Adidas are top.
Also, the Collar on the AC Milan jersey is how a collar should be done.
Adidas make good kits.
They also use the 3 stripes very well.
A nicely styled plain coloured shirt always works well with the 3 stripes in a contrasting colour across the shoulder & arms.
Simple but it just looks good.

I don't think they are 'wank' when viewed individually but when paired side by side they seem too similar with the three stripe shoulder logo.
For all the abuse Nike gets for out kits at least I feel like no one else we line up against will have the same kit design with just different colors and crest.
It was confirmed the other week that no such deal has been done

That is vile.
The Barca kits are nice. As is the fake Arsenal one.
Bayern's kit is one of the best I've ever seen.
I like Adidas but we'd probably end up with one of the gash ones.

All wank with whorish adidas stripes all over them.
Adidas kits are shit. Nike haven't exactly been great at creating ours but overall they are the best in my opinion.
If only we could go back to umbro
I think this pic gives you a better idea than the rather weird one on the page before. I don't think it looks that bad at all, with a few of the buttons opened it'd be pretty nice IMO.
Really, I think football kits should be evaluated in September/October time. So many times a kit has been released to widespread derision before you start hearing "I actually quite like it" or "It looks fine, really" when the players actually wear it in matches. The gingham kit has been absolutely fine, no problems with it for me, and the United kit posted in this thread looks fine too.
Yeah, man I miss those days
Dogshit
Wow thats funny, thats the last time I actually liked the kit, though it did take time to grow on me
Same, eventually I was a fan of the chevron kit. It was cheapened a bit afterwards by the fact that they dished it out to half a dozen of their second and third tier teams the following season, but it was a straightforward, well-fitted shirt without any gimmicks other than the chevron itself, and in a material that actually looked normal and comfortable.
I've said for a couple of seasons now that I'd like a shirt like Madrid's but in out colours. They always seem to get a simple, classy design.
Still don't like the chevron kit or the one that followed it.
There's always rightly much attention paid to the color scheme -- what I think may be referred to as the "colorway" in the UK -- but I rarely see a discussion of the "fit" of the shirt in particular.
There were some hideously baggy shirts in the 1990s, which thankfully have gone the way of the tiny diaper shorts that were so prevalent in the 1970s and 1980s -- extinct. There was an overreaction in the mid 2000s with some clubs who wore skin-right shirts (I'm thinking Spurs in particular, but there were others, but thankfully United never fell for this stupidity), but now the right balance has been struck and I suspect will stick for a long time.

The new one looks quite nice on that latest picture, the collar doesn't look half as bad as it did in the earlier photos.
Aren't City Nike next season? it will be interesting to see what style kit they get.

Hell, the gingham even ended up looking okay on the players, on tv anyway, I'm sure this kit will look fine as well.

That's nice but the cuffs round the sleeves should be black also, imo.
