The New Kits of 2010/2011 Thread.

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.

To be honest, if you watch the video here; http://onlinestore.arsenal.com/invt/a86824a&bklist=. It doesn't look too bad on them.

That is fucking horrible. WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH THE FUCKING PINSTRIPES??!!

And Maroon?? Did Herbert Chapman once wear a maroon tie or some such bollocks? Is it really THAT difficult to just have a plain yellow jersey with blue shorts? I'd even accept blue sleeves on the yellow jersey.

Whichever gobshite at the club that selecte that from the Nike proposals should just go fuck themselves.

At least it is yellow... kind of... but that maroon is fucking horrible.

So basically I still fucking hate it. :evil:
exactly that. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

To make the kits, Nike uses discarded water bottles destined for landfill sites in Japan and Taiwan, where they can take up to 500 years to decompose. This saves precious raw materials and reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional fabrics.

The bottles are placed in a large washing machine to clean them and get rid of labels before they are chopped into tiny flakes and melted down into a yarn that is ultimately spun to make the fabric for the jerseys and shorts. Use of recycled polyester across its new range of club kits means Nike has saved nearly 13 million plastic water bottles, a total of around 254,000 kg of polyester waste - enough to cover more than 29 football pitches, and to stretch over 3,000 kilometres if laid out end-to-end.
Nice to see Nike are making a tidy profit on these shirts.
