For those of you who hate the new kit: I present the (fake?) third shirt.

A monstrosity of Inter Milan proportions and guise.
Whilst the normal protocol amongst Nike is to give newer kits priority, Arsenal will be keeping the yellow shirt as the first choice away kit to make up for the fact that they’ve changed the home shirt for the last three seasons running, leaving us with the three options below:
I’m sure the blue and black effort will spark a variety of opinions. Personally, I’ve always been somewhat funny about us playing in blue. It reminds me a little too much of Chelsea. Or, in this case, Inter. Saying that, the template for the kit is actually based on the new Barcelona shirt.
It’s fine, and we won’t wear it very often, but it just isn’t very “Arsenal“. Someone sent me this kit via the contact section the other day, and I actually assumed it was a wind-up. Apologies to whoever that was.
Update: Looks like my suspicions were right. Fake it is. Thank God.ÂÂ
