    Yeah. But I keep telling myself 99% of the time I won't be able to see them. They're too subtle for typical TV shots to pick up.

    p.s. Are those really footy boots? The studs look more like some old gridiron cleats I used to see.

    Yeah. I actually kind of like that as an away kit. But im a bit picky on the base color of home and away and would prefer we stick with the traditional red home and yellow away.

    Haven't bought an Arsenal kit since the 125th anniversary kit, but this one is very tempting...

    You know guys, you already know which 2 Nike Invincibles Era kits I would be keeping if it came down to only two, the 2002-04 home kit and the 2002-03 away one.

    But definitely when it comes to the Adidas ones if it came down to it the 2 Adidas kits I would most proudly don are this current season's third kit and the new home kit, the lightning bolts on those two along with both kits having white (not blue like this current season's home strip) Adidas 3 stripes make that an easy decision as they would go great together

    I'm sorry, but that new home shirt is why I love Arsenal: pure class.

    I DID mean the new home shirt, yes I said that, it compliments the third strip from this past season, as they have lightning bolts on them.

    As for the 22/23 away, third and goalkeeper kits, I will definitely be picking those up too, in fact I will be starting TWO different AFC collections, one exclusively of those with our traditional shield badge, and one exclusively of those with our cannon badge. On the cannon kits, I'm halfway there with the away (21/22) and GK (21/22) strips already, the new (22/23) away kit will go great with them, as for the shield kits, the new home (22/23) and current (21/22) third strip already caught my fancy, it's just a matter of which other ones (20/21 away kit, 22/23 third kit, 22/23 GK kit) will round off the 4 of those.

    Yeah, they had those in the Armory when I was there in April. Almost bought one but decided it was too similar to the old school kit I have ---- just with an Adidas logo. Looked good in person though, if you're thinking about getting it.

    i will definitely purchase this. It’s about as timeless of an Arsenal piece you can buy, and I especially like the fact there are no sponsors on it.

    Not gonna be my favorite font, but as long as we’ve seen the last of that gothic nazi font, I’m good.

    A team I follow in the AFL has a match day logo, and a corporate logo, and I really wished we followed that lead.

    Cannon on team gear and supporter wear, current crest on the website, press releases, etc.

    Confirmed on Arsenal.com and on Arsenal Direct, now, as long as the Adidas 3 stripes are sewn on and not printed on then this will definitely be on my "to save for" list, I was very disappointed that Aaron Ramsdale had to wear a strip with printed stripes on it as opposed to sewn on ones, very cheap of and shame on Adidas for doing that, hopefully they learned their lesson on this kit but definitely I will be picking this one up, it's coming soon fellow Gooners!!!

    Cool on its own, but feels like Adidas just re-did the LAFC home shirt.

    collectively looking at our kits from Nike, then Puma, and back to Adidas, I'm already consistently liking the Adidas kits the most. (Nike ranks second to me, fwiw)

    My shopping list of Arsenal Adidas gear I really want to own continues to expand almost daily.

    It's a yawner for me. I'd have no great objections as a 3rd strip. But if that's our primary away kit, it's neither traditional (yellow/blue) or particularly interesting.
