Off the cuff here, but as I understand it the current Arsenal crest was created as a sort of graphic design efficiency solution to a problem the previous crest created whenever it was reproduced in certain formats. Meanwhile, the cannon is simple, clean, and loved by every Gooner I know. But I don't live in England, so I don't pretend to know what the whole of North London feels about the crest vs. the cannon. But I am curious. Are the past few seasons of featuring the cannon on 2 of the 3 kits some sort of ploy to shift from one to the other slowly and deliberately over time?
That kit and that specific green with navy sleeves would be an instant buy for me. But probably not with the white sleeves. But mainly because I liked the kit on the right that we barely wore as a third kit a few years ago, but I absolutely loved the lifestyle version on the left that Adidas released.
It reminds me of a minor league hockey team doing a special St. Patrick’s Day jersey. I’d only buy a game-worn one.
The FootyHeadlines "leak" looks like a version being sold on Asian knockoff websites The 3rd posted above is also being sold on those websites The away knockoff currently available looks much more like the original "bruised banana"

Love the trim on the sleeves and collar, hate the different coloured Adidas shoulder stripes. If those 3 shoulder stripes were either all burgundy or all red it would be much better.
I wonder if the color variance is a motif adidas is doing across multiple teams like they did with the stupid blue stripes on the back of the shorts last year that couldn't be worn in the NLD.
The Wright-Rocastle tribute had different color stripes and switched between shoulders God I cannot communicate
Maybe so. I just noticed Belgium’s new warmup kit with similar mixed colors in the stripes. BUT their match kit had monochromatic stripes.
I grabbed the all red pullover at the Adidas flagship store in London earlier this week. Cannon, no emirates, done.
