New Away Shirt

[Dan_85]

Fucking disgusting kit. They should be embarassed & ashamed of themselves.

Haven't bought a replica shirt for years. They're not getting a penny out of me besides match tickets these days.

I haven't worn any replica kit since the 2002-03 season....just annoyed bythe season after season rip off.

I've reached this point too. Besides the obvious money grabbing reasons, there is no need to keep changing shirts. I'm 28 so I'm too old for it anyway

I can only hope that purple kit is a joke. I know Nike and the club want to make money and have to make fairly drastic changes to do this, but bringing out a home kit with blue on it and that horror show in the same saeson would be a step too far (or several). Especially when we currently earn less through kit endorsements than Spurs. At the end of the day it's only an away kit, but at least let us have a proper yellow kit every other year and f*ck around with a blue/whatever colour one the other. Taking the moral stance over a kit is actually something our board would be quite likely to do in their desperation for any (non-footballing) success, but I don't want to be like United with a back-catalogue of white/blue/black/gold etc away kits. Arsenal play in red home and yellow away, or blue is an acceptable substitute some seasons.

I haven't bought a replica shirt for a few years now, I've actually found a few of my Dad's old ones from 99-01 that fit me so I've started incorporating them into my routine as I feel they're old enough to be deemed 'retro'. I decided the solution to this commercial nonsense was just to buy '71 red and yellow shirts: same price for those two as for one new kit, and I never have to buy another sh*t replica kit again.

Just out of curiosity is there any circumstance that would make it acceptable to burn an Arsenal shirt ? I ain't advocating it or anything but fans have been rightly outraged in recent seasons at the garbage designs our crest goes onto and I am wondering if it would be viewed as blasphemy to burn an AFC shirt even if it did look like a scum shirt as the white one did a few years ago.

I think you could if:

1. you debadge it first (it's a controversial badge, but it's still our badge)
and
2. it has A. Cole, Adebayor or Nasri on it
and
3. it's in a safe area away from volatile substances

Health and Safety wouldnt advise it I personally think an Arsenal shirt should NEVER be burnt whatever it looks like, if it has our badge on it then its sacred. Not saying i would buy it though

I understand that line of argument and tbh I am of a similar mindset myself but football fans are fickle fools sometimes and I wonder if something along the lines of burning one of nike's shite offerings would lead to a fan boycott of their crap If some fans think that Gooners like the shirt then they will buy if but likewise they would want to be seen as a "proper Gooner" who wouldnt dare buy the shirt cos it flies in the face of our traditions if that is what the hardcore advocate

I once burnt a scum shirt, sadly it wasn't being worn by any of the scum fuckers at the time

Surprised this hasn't been brought up yet.

Here are two training tops and a training jacket off of the online store..







Think we all know what this this means...

[goonerwalker]

There all s***e tbh yellow is the colour for any Arsenal away kit....When will nike ever listen?

[Barriecuda]

I don't mind purple and black as a colour scheme at all, to be honest, but

1. Our away kit should be yellow & blue, end of.

2. The kit itself this year is too busy. There shouldn't be red sleeve ends, and the design should have black as the predominant with subtle purple; not 50/50 each.
