New Home Shirt Leaked?


Spanish kit blog Todo Sobre Camisetas (loosely "All About Shirts") has released leaked photos of what is possibly/probably Arsenal's 2010/11 home kit. As you can see, it's red. It's great to see a return to all white sleeves.

It looks very much like Arsenal's 2006/08 home kit, but is designed to honor the 1971 Double winning kit. Here are the subtle differences between this image and the old 06/08 shirt:
  • The collar on the new kit is white all the way around. The older kit's collar tapered in the front.
  • The older kit had a gold trim stripe down each side.
  • The red cuff on the older kit also tapered, like the collar.
  • I also feel like this red cuff is a thicker stripe than in the past.
  • I don't think the older one said "ARSENAL" on the back. I don't know at the moment what the 06/08 kit said but the 08/10 kit said "Gunners." Right?
I like this kit, in that it's simple, sleek, and effective. Pure class. I am thrilled there's no trace of redcurrant. Of course, if you already own an 06/08 home kit, buying this one might feel unnecessary.
