As we get closer to the new season comes the opportunity to see what the new kits for clubs like Arsenal could look like. It can be a difficult experience as often concept kits can be mocked up by supporters and be vastly different to the end product.
It is therefore always important to exercise caution when assessing any potential leaks of kit designs. For instance, the latest fake kits which Footy Headlines have mocked up based on predictions have grabbed the attention of many supporters.
The home, away and third kits have all resonated with supporters and got them excited for what does indeed lie ahead for their release later in the year.
The home kit removes the blue trim which received some scrutiny on the current home kit and returns to the exclusive red and white style of old. The cuffs of the sleeves contain red rings before the white extends up to the neckline with the iconic Adidas stripes on the shoulders.
A thin white trim line extends down to the torso, cutting through a bulk red design as opposed to the strong presence of white colouring on the current home shirt. It is a classic design and one fans on the whole appear to like.
The away kit again returns to what has become a common theme in recent years, the lightning bolts. The bolts have featured on last season’s home kit, the 2021-22 third kit - which has a similar blue style to this predicted kit – the 2020-21 home kit and 2019-20 away kit.
The zig-zags have featured on two nostalgic kits from the 90s, the 1994-1996 season which featured bolts on the home, away and third kit. The bruised banana kit from 1991-1993 began the zig-zag theming for the club.
Finally, the third kit is a white kit, and besides the “No More Red” campaign’s strip, an Arsenal kit has not been dominated with a white colour set since 2021 when we had the “raspberry ripple” kit and prior to that, you had to go back to 2009-10 when it featured.
However, it is the kit from 2008-09 which this new third strip prediction takes its inspiration. Think Cesc Fabregas scoring in the San Siro in the UEFA Champions League, iconic.
The darker, burgundy colour is the trim for this new kit, colouring the Adidas shoulder stripes, badge, logos and sponsorship in addition to a ring round the a collar and sleeve cuffs. This is not all though as alongside the burgundy on the collar and sleeve cuff is a gold/yellow trim to add another dimension of colour to the kit.
How close these “leaks” end up being to the real thing, we will have to wait and see. But based on the positive response to these kits, the hope will be they are as close as possible.
