Would have preferred the Emirates to be in blue but its OK and he will look smart in it but the quality of the shirt
and shorts is appalling !
When people say no expense has been spared on this one I can assure you NO expense has been been spared for this product !
This is the cheapest shittiest Nylon Ive ever come across and looks highly flammable too !
The knock offs in thailand will struggled to make them of such inferior fabric !
Still keeps the costs down and profits up !
Oh and is anyone surprised abt MUFC's deal , not me for sure,so in 2 years our deal will look like chump change !
Thanks for the heads up.
I had my suspicions as I've always viewed Puma as a cheap, tacky brand - even for a sports company - and looking at the pictures my fears were reinforced; I then learned the Arsenal crest isn't even embroidered on (it's some sort of plastic/rubber?) and now you you've confirmed first hand how poor quality tis'.
Think I'll be keeping my money in my pocket.
Puma football boots have always been much much better than adidas, nike etc
No wonder you couldn't hit a barn door against the Mackem!!
Nike are rubbish I'll grant you but you simply cannot get better than Adidas Predators.
I was wearing adidas boots then but went back to my Puma pro kings,they did bag over 100 goals a season at one point 52 on sunday and 48 on saturday.
Arsenal Puma kit: Puma to release three new shirts every season
The Gunners were one of the last clubs in the Premier League to offer two-year kit cycles to supporters, but with the new £30m a year Puma deal which has taken over from Nike, the club can now change all three of their strips every season.
The decision was motivated by the high demand that exists amongst supporters for new strips each year.
The kits were launched last week at Puma's flagship store on Carnaby Street, modelled by players Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini.

Honestly think this will backfire. Not surprised we'll stop keeping home kits for 2 years but I would have thought they'd be far better off introducing a new away kit each year and relegating the previous year's away kit to the third kit.
Can't see that many people buying a shirt we're going to wear a handful of times, especially not a shit one like that. Wonder how many people bought the maroon-and-navy offering a few years back?
I have some good Puma gear,their suede trainers a Very good and very comfy ,as a kid I wore their boots but I just thought the shirt and shorts were crap that's all .
I have never ever worn a replica shirts except the 71 double one and the cotton rugby type shirts in orange and in red from the 30's and 50's ,but I have bought them for my sons......The shorts on these are quite frankly the biggest load Kaka Ive ever come across
treated myself to one of the anthem sytle jackets from arsenal direct, cost £55 and was very disappointed , badge printed on and the jacket material looks worse then any thing you can buy in sports direct for a fiver
The whole range looks like its been designed up by a russian who has been living in isolation in Siberia for 25 years.
It looks like communist chic circa 1984 ,the anthem ones are pony Reb ,where u stoned when u ordered it ?
