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.

In the metal I believe they look well, simple but effective. What a kit should be!
I'm a tad old for kits now but I will get the blue/yellow polo.
Sorry mate but what does "in the metal" mean? Is it a norniron expression?
I guess it is Chippy, I will go against most views on here and say I like the Puma kits. Rather Puma than that Nike shit anyhow.
Apart from the plunging neckline the basic designs are good I agree. Red body and mostly white sleeves etc. It's the fact they are so tight that ruins them. They don't look like football jerseys. They look like poxy cycling tops or worse, a cheap t-shirt some 18 year old metrosexual mong with a beard and side parted hair would wear clubbing.

I went to the Armoury on release day to buy the shirts & walked out empty handed.
The quality of the shirt looks bad, the designs are pretty poor and the fit is awful (& that's on the replica which is more of a normal fit than the player version.)
The neck line on the away shirt is strange, i don't understand why it's so big + I don't understand who thought it would be good to put neon green lines on the blue third shirt
Nike made some poor designs in their time but they were all miles better than this shit puma have given us.
Those jerseys could actually turn out to be good for your health. I bought a long sleeve away but haven't worn it yet as it has spurred me on to lose my cider belly before I do. I will not wear it until I'm like Twiggy
Guess it's destined for a lifetime in the wardrobe then

If you lose enough weight you could release your own exercise DVD - "***** Yourself Thin"
Got my pre-match jersey yesterday and it is quite nice and fits well Did anybody notice a funny smell (not a bad or anything) off their jersey when they bought it ? All new clothes have a new smell off them but this seemed different

Just got mine as well. The look is nice. Definitely better than Nike.
My wife would soon say the jokes on you.. the more you yell at Arsene the more idiotic you look in this skin tight, body hugging airline blouse.
I agree with the people on here who say the new stuff is poor quality. Just spent an hour in the shop wanting to buy a shirt, jumper and jacket but everything was so poorly made, even the non puma stuff that I just couldn't.
The jackets were flimsy and offered no protection, one of the jackets made me itch after a few seconds. The jumpers the same. The shirt - I refuse to buy anything with more puma logos than the arsenal badge. In the end the only thing which was decent quality and actually really good value for money was this
