These kits this year are atrocious. The crest inside the numbers is ugly as all get out...looks like an old 1980’s decal you would find in a cereal box. Is this our last year with Puma or whomever it is?
Puma and yes I believe so. Not seen anything official from club but the prevailing rumor is we signed a 30m/yr GBP deal with Adidas starting for the '19/20 season. I'm hoping that the inaugural Adidas campaign is red & white home, yellow away and maybe blue third. There are some nice Adidas fan concepts out there you can find with a quick Google image search.
Some different ideas I saw in a quick search...

Since we're moving to Adidas next season, here is the Bruised Banana concept some fans (Gooners not AK47 fans even though I wrote and performed "Arsenal" on my 2016 Demos EP "4 My Homies") came up with, it gave me a much different perspective on it especially after seeing how superior it looked to the OG JVC-sponsored version from the early 90s
Dude, I was making a joke about how we are often optimistic going into the season and things explode in our faces. No malice intended.
Really ? I honestly havent had optimism since i dont know when. I was only optimistic for wengers retirement. Im relishing this season so much.
Same. This is the first season I've been excited for in like, 5 years. Even if the team sucks, they'll suck in a different way. Progress!
I think bringing Ozil and Sanchez in brought optimism that we’d turn the corner. That coincided with learning that Wenger’s tactics had been figured out by everyone else, though. Up until then, I blamed the failure on freak injuries and situations. We were honestly competitive until a few seasons ago (at least until knockout stages of champions league rolled around and we collapsed). Personally, I don’t think enough front office culture has changed for the manager change to result in any challenge for the title.
You could right but only way to find out is see how the season goes. Until then the new staff gets a clean slate imo.
My third kit came in this morning, I will have pics of it up here by mid-afternoon, and yes @NorthBank I will put up only a few this time, I'll take a bunch of them and the best takes go up here. This season's third kit looks kinda (ugh!), a bit bland and a little pale looking if you ask me, compared to the gorgeous Black Heather (or Charcoal if you insist)/Hot Pink strip they came out with last season (2017-18), in which I would rather be donning as my third kit of choice from these past 5 seasons that Puma have been our kit provider, in fact, last season's third kit was the best third strip of all 5 years, I'm sure you will all agree once you see actual photos of it let alone LIVE in action on the pitch. Never the less, I now have all 5 strips for this season, and yes, in keeping up with both BIGHMW and die-hard Gooner traditions, I WILL be wearing the exact outfield kit as the squad does on Matchday. Pics coming up later on, so COYF'n'G!!!
Well, here they are, the pics of this season's Third kit, I hope you like them (the pics not so much the subject matter of them), enjoy.........and COYF'n'G!!! I can't wait 'til the Premier League season begins later on this month, and I'm looking forward to a fresh start under our new manager Unai Emery. At least if we suck (again) this season we now know that it is not due to ignorance or stubbornness, it's just plainly that we don't (yet) have the pieces of the puzzle all in place. NO MORE EXCUSES from Arsene Wenger this time around, that is now all said and done, we have a new head with a different footballing philosophy, so let's get 'em boys!!! Anyways. here are the pics, downloads of myself in all 4 kits coming later on this upcoming week (I've gotta be groomed for those, Nobody wants to see a 5 o'clock shadow do they?)
Adidas now confirmed via Arsenal twitter, Arsenal and Adidas have agreed a new kit partnership, effective from July 1, 2019 worth a fair chunk of change.
I'm cautiously optimistic for what our kits will look like under Adidas, compared to Puma. As long as they stay away from the manure that is at the bottom of this kit...
Reports are its a 60M GBP/year deal for 5 years. Double the money from our Puma deal, and (hopefully) better kit designs hopefully make this a win-win-win for everyone. http://global.espn.com/football/ars...s-sponsorship-deal-worth-60m-per-year?src=com
