Probably due to previous kit manafacturers.

The Green kit was produced by Addidas but our current manafacturer is Nike. So selling Addidas products goes against the Nike contract.

If you look at the famous 89 yellow kit replica produced last year (not the official away kit used last year!)
The manafacturer was left blank. Infact, I'm sure the manafacturer logo was replaced by the year.

Thought it was but checked a picture to be sure. Checked the thumbnail and thought "ah, Addidas!" should have clicked on a full picture.

Kit manufacturers don't want to improve Arsenal's revenue stream do they? They want to improve their own.

well clubs like QPR are able to sell old kits. my cousin recently bought the 82 cup final shirt from the QPR club shop even though their offical kit is not manufactured by adidas.
Does having JVC spread across the front of the toffs replica kits not upset the emirates sponsors?
