As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

As for the shirt pictured here, Why the laurel leaves? They look stupid, why no club motto? and why no actual wording of 125 years.?
Read somewhere recently that the 1970s/80s style cannon would be used on the 125 year shirts.
Not convinced if this is a real shirt but it does have '125 anniversary' written on it.

Guaranteed fake kit as the site suggests. Look at the shitty job on the crest; the real kits are stitched symmetrically with great precision. Plus the submitter's name is ethnic to a region known for a great deal of counterfit goods I suppose it could be the actual design though.

It won't be this one. Nike doesn't use silkscreened crests, they always use embroidered (stitched) ones. Also not even this club is stupid enough to put "forward" as a crest motto. (I hope)
I think the first Woolwich Arsenal crest had three upright canon barrels surrounded by laurel leaves. Perhaps the leaves are an echo of that given the 125 anniversary.

Ahhhhhh that's it. So it's not a cynical marketing ploy after all! Thank God for that.

I know what the replys will be but why not keep this seasons home kit the finest we can ever expect and put special embroidery on the jersey for the game closest to the 125th Anniversary instead of constantly fleecing the fans.
