🚨 Next season, ALL of Arsenal’s kits will be emblazoned with the iconic cannon rather than the club crest. [@gunnerblog] #afc

Good, hope that spells the beginning of the end for the poxy crest.

Thought this line was telling -

"if the club wishes to make a material change to its club crest it must undertake an extensive consultation process with supporters"

That's something that wasn't there in 2002 when they hoodwinked in the cartoon cannon.

The stupid fucking crest was another of Wenger's decisions I believe. The old fucker had no idea about style and design....a multi millionaire who dressed like man at C&A.....and lumbered a club with a proud history and heritage with the fucking cartoon monstrosity. Another aspect of the poisoned legacy the old wanker bestowed upon us....fucking detest him.

It's still facing the wrong way though.

I don't think we can blame that on him...it was about copyright and greed. Loads of clubs have done the same. Sadly.

I think it was him that approved the design. I’m could be wrong, but don’t think so.

You’re right that a new crest which could be legally protected was required, but it didn’t have to be a fucking Disney style badge. I remember being fucking horrified when I first saw it.

“ What the fucking hell is that “ was the chant from the clock end when it was unveiled at the end of the season , the poor kids who were walking it round the ground

Even though it will be a cannon on the shirts, it’s still not THE cannon from the old badge

Wasn't there an alleged fan consultation on it that no one saw?!

Surely he was too busy hand building the stadium to hand draw the new crest!

:lol: :lol:
I’m not saying he designed it himself, but I think he approved the cartoon design…he was at least involved. I think people were encouraged to send designs in and the Disney monstrosity won. I could be misremembering of course.

I’ve no doubt that Wenger would have insisted on having to approve the new crest. He was an absolute control freak who ran the club like his personal fiefdom.

The story might be apocryphal, but I was told back in 2006 that he insisted on approving the china that was used in the new stadium. It wouldn’t surprise me. It was where our board were too weak. He should have been told to fuck and concentrate on team affairs not to be involved in every minor aspect of the club.

Our kits for next season are woeful. The back of the home shirt is detestable, the away kit looks like some kind of reggae party (also, how does it represent Wrighty and Rocky when they both wore Nike rather than Adidas?)
I can live with the third kit, just about, but it’s nothing special either

Coming up with 3 different kits a season, every single season and eventually you run out of ideas.

Just release the reissues you slaaaaaags.
