Away kit is one of the worst according to the Independant

everyone bought the ***** white kit too :banghead:
The worrying thing is, the white & blue kits were the best selling kits we've had in years according to Arsenal :worried: So if this latest kit doesnt shift some serious units I wouldn't be surprised to see us back in some Spuds look-a-like shirt sooner rather than later if it's gonna make AFC more notes than what we have now.

To be honest, i'd rather have this current yellow/maroon one than a chavs or swamp dellers shirt.

Treated myself to both the home 91 and 93 shirts from Ebay. 8)
Finally won the '89 yellow shirt on ebay too! One of the best kits ever

If the second colour was royal blue it would be great, the home shirt though is fantastic!

1st shirt is the best for years. The away kit is, at best, better than last years Chelski/Spuds efforts but the purple piping makes it more Bradford than Arsenal.

We all know the true away is yellow with a touch of blue and thats what it should have been. (not fogetting the one glorious year of Green & Blue!!!).

for the life of me i don't know why the clubs don't put say 20 proposals of each new home/away shirt on the website and the fans vote for the best.... Only members can vote so no spuds can hack on

Ditto. Birmingham City did that

Trouble with that is too many youngsters would vote who really have no feel for the traditions of the club. That is why the horrific blue/white efforts have sold better than the yellow ones.

Quite simply Red and white sleeves home, yellow with blue trim away.

And back to the proper badge/crest.

Then I will be happy!!

You can't stop the younger generation having an opinion. There will always be a younger generation that don't understand the history of the club but in future years they will be the one's moaning about how the current "younger generation" don't understand the history of the Wenger years.

Clubs last forever fans last a lifetime.

The new away shirt is pretty horrible, the yellow and purple dont really go and it should of course be yellow and blue but its not the worst kit. Go through the whole lot of pictures and look at the Hull City one its fcuking ghastly. Thank fcuk they will be in the Championship.
