Arsenal supporters have now given their verdict on the Gunners’ new away kit, which has been officially unveiled ahead of the new season.
Adidas are producing Arsenal’s kits once again this season, and their design for the club’s new away strip has now been revealed to the world, and is available to fans for purchase.

If is for that reason that many supporters feel such excitement whenever a new look is unveiled. It is also why Arsenal kits are often leaked and speculated upon, as they represent big business.
