Puma to make our kits

I've just received the New Arsenal away kit for my son who is 3 ,a very nice gesture from my brother in law.
Would have preferred the Emirates to be in blue but its OK and he will look smart in it but the quality of the shirt
and shorts is appalling !
When people say no expense has been spared on this one I can assure you NO expense has been been spared for this product !
This is the cheapest shittiest Nylon Ive ever come across and looks highly flammable too !

The knock offs in thailand will struggled to make them of such inferior fabric !

Still keeps the costs down and profits up !

Oh and is anyone surprised abt MUFC's deal , not me for sure,so in 2 years our deal will look like chump change !

Thanks for the heads up.

I had my suspicions as I've always viewed Puma as a cheap, tacky brand - even for a sports company - and looking at the pictures my fears were reinforced; I then learned the Arsenal crest isn't even embroidered on (it's some sort of plastic/rubber?) and now you you've confirmed first hand how poor quality tis'.

Think I'll be keeping my money in my pocket.

Out of sheer laziness and to avoid going to the shops I bought a shirt off the website for my nephew last Friday. Still haven't received it as of today so checked my order on the website and saw it was still "in progress" and not even dispatched. Rang Arsenal direct and was told becuase I had selceted to put the premier league patches on the shirt it would be 7 to 10 working days before the jersey was sent out!! Christ on a bike.

Anyway about 50 posts ago I praised our marketing department after having had several cuts off them on previous occassions. May I know go on the record as saying that they are a complete shower of incompetent bastards :roll:

Agreed. If Herd's lot took 7-10 working days to put a patch on a jersey they'd be sleeping with the fishes.

I was in the Arsenal shop last Friday and bought my son the home kit, he is 8.

They have made an error in the design of the kids shirts, as if you apply the premier league badge to the arms it covers/partly covers the puma logo on the top of the arm.

I like the kit design, as for quality it doesn't appear to be any different to other shirts he has.

Only complaint, after wearing the socks once, a small hole appeared.

Puma Kings get my vote too.

On topic: I find the home kit to be vile, as disgusting as anything shat out by Nike.

I do quite like the away though.
