Jockeying For Position: Kit Thread Mark XIV

The Barca and Man Utd kits look sharp from what I see.
Think The Arsenal need something else, just not doing it for me.

 

Either get rid of the red stripe on the sleeves (It seems like too much going on there) and just run with the black stripes and socks, or get rid of the black and swap the socks with the Man U ones there.

I don't know, maybe the black socks and white shorts would make us look too much like Man U but I could live with it. It's just the multiple stripes on the sleeves bothers me.

Also, it looks photoshopped anyway. The Barca kit actually looks nice, but they didn't even bother match the color of the socks to the rest of the kit. That's what gives it away for me.

 

By something else do you mean they should just remove the sorry sleeve extensions they added to last years shirt?

It's a joke if that's the real thing.

 

Don't like the rings on arms. I love the basic red with white sleeves.

 

Inspiration, tbf


Should have red socks tho

 

now that's a kit

 

Love the crest, that's it.

I would love to see another modern version of this:



To quote Gordon Ramsey, "simple, honest, rustic."

 

that would look great if it was navy instead of black. looks like it's black though.

 

Looks like it may be more Dark Grey than Black to me. People on Twitter saying its actually Dark Navy Blue.

 

it looks nothing like that prince, it's shite....no one likes it and yet again nike fcuk around and release some wackness

their football tops have fallen off! adidas shit on the football stuff

 

How many people in England can read Arabic?

 

Isn't it rather obvious?

 

that's the worst kit we've had (if we get it) since I started following... and maybe all time... I've got to go look through the archives now...

 

this years away, the 09/09 - 09/10 home kit and the white away in 08 were also shite

 

arsenal has basically had this look the last two kits. it's the damn sponsorship that ruins it.

 

Red shirt? Check. White sleeves? Check. It'll do. And I like the dark socks.

We've had two years' worth of a fairly basic home kit, so it's no surprise that Nike are starting to experiment a bit. And if it the shirt accents really are dark blue, that's a color we've used on the shirts in the past (my favorite of those being the 98-99 JVC shirt, which had blue stripes running down the sides). Granted, though, the double-stripes on the sleeves (triple, really, with the white) is an odd choice.

Regardless, it seems like a lot of people aren't going to be satisfied with anything Nike does. I'm sure when Chapman introduced white sleeves for the first time, somebody was moaning that it was the worst shirt ever. Anyway, we'll probably get another new home shirt next year.

Edited to add: Seems odd that, of the three shirts in that leaked photo, ours is the only short-sleeved one. I wonder how they'll handle the stripes for the long sleeves.

 

Not to me. What's the problem with it? I'd prefer it to "Fly Emirates."

 

Chelsea had it like that.

 

I'm not sure that most people would necessarily associate "Emirates" with the airline.

When?

 

Agreed. Nothing wrong with mixing it up for a season.

 

For some reason I remember them having that design and when Emirates was announced as our sponsor, there was a concern about that being the logo and we would be associated with Chelsea.

 

All the more reason for them to promote the logo.

 

i'm sure chelsea had that logo at one point?
