If that's the case, we'll have a white and navy kit next.

Can't see Nike being the highest bidder though, aren't they pretty much fucked?

God I hope so... The away kit season just gone was bad enough, but this new home kit is awful.

It looks like a fucking T-shirt.

Why are we changing our home/away kit every year now? I thought there was some law that only allowed that to happen ever 2 seasons?

I had the very same thought. Did some digging around and found this.

Football kits: Premier League teams turn style into a cash cow

The Football Task Force, a government initiative established in 1997 and chaired by former MP David Mellor, recommended that Premier League clubs restrict the introduction of a new home jersey to once every two seasons. This proposal was later enshrined in the Premier League charter in 2000. But there is nothing that legally prevents teams from introducing new kits every season, and the consensus on a two-year break is now being flouted by all the sides in the top division.

The mounting cost of keeping up to date with your team is compounded by the recent trend for limited edition jerseys and commemorative shirts, such as Arsenal's redcurrant strip that marked their last season at Highbury in 2006.

So basically even though the clubs signed up to only change the kit every two seasons, the prospect of fleecing the fans every year was just too good to pass up. Quel surprise

Looks worse every time i see it. Genuinely fucking disgusting. How can anyone at Arsenal send us out onto the pitch wearing this & still sleep at night?

What bollocks have the PR dept cooked up to sell this one? Did Herbert Chapman have some patterned underpants like this?
