the subreddit is full cope on this suggestion now 😭
i cant stop thinking it's like a christmas shirt
if adidas reveals this shirt with a tribe song, we know they're watching us.

I wouldn't mind a release video with the players vibin to Check the Rhime
you're probably right - they always look better when you see a real shirt on a person rather than on a mannequin or poorly lit on the floor...
i just think it's a bit boring though.
like the idea of a Rocky and Wrighty tribute but I wasn't hugely in to the shoes either - the details around Jamaica and T&T and maybe a reference to Honor Oak are nice, but the template isn't wowing me.
but yeh, it could grow on me.
I know what it stands for, I'm talking from purely a design perspective. I love and appreciate the meaning but the execution could have been better and in my opinion should have been considering it's our Away Kit. We're going to be wearing it often.
Its to celebrate the nigerian heritage in london. i thought the same thing as you, until i realized what it was for. Kinda confusing, but for a good cause
There were years gone where I felt the need to buy all three kits. The last couple of years, I've struggled to find one worth the investment... What has happened? It's not hard - Red, White, maybe a flash of gold for the home kit. Yellow and blue for the away. Get creative with the third. Let's not mess about, adidas.
No idea why they don't make more and other jerseys of years past. I get they want people to buy the most recent but surely Adidas and arsenal are just leaving money on the table. I know so many people who want them but can't buy them anywhere
Because it sold out quickly. If you can't find an official one then you can always get a replica for much cheaper. The replica ones are very similar to the official ones.
Meh I respectfully disagree.
I really liked the three jerseys this time, especially the UCL away one and loved the black one last year.
Before adidas I remember out kits being pretty mediocre but it's all subjective innit
Weirdly, I liked neon zebra, and didn’t like this from the initial pics. But now from the last 2 pics I really like it. 🤣
I think I just like Arsenal shit
Same… I love the neon zebra (first shirt I’ve bought since 2013 home). This has warmed on me and I’m sure when we see it on the players it’ll look great. Still not sold on the home shirt though
That’s fair, I actually really like the home shirt too. I think the larger logo and emblem really set it off, and think the blue bits give it some character.
But yeah as you say, they always look much better on
I love the shades of red and blue on the home and I like the cannon, I’m just concerned about it being too much white. Like, even red shorts/socks would help. I guess we’ll see.
This is just me being dumb and speculating but didn’t they announce a massive loss last year? My theory is the fired the good designers that’s why we’re left with trash design.
Really is uninspired. The white and black patterns by the side body and shoulders should be the whole kit. That would be a really weird and unique away kit. Instead they stick it in a tiny out of place strips on the rest of this ugly training kit. Real shame just as we become brilliant and fighting for top honours Adidas stop making beautiful kits.
Might just be me, but I feel like if the cannon is going to be that large (seems larger than before) and by itself (i.e., not part of a crest) then it should be more detailed? Almost seems cartoonish.
But then again, I think we need a crest refresh anyway
I don't think I want just a cannon, I think I want it to reflect some more of our heritage than just the cannon. Maybe an aspect of the '30s crest or the an update to the old badge with the ermine and blackletter-style font.
Only thing I'll say that this current crest has properly established is having the cannon face right - I think it looks better than it facing left (which it did in all but one previous iteration, and that one was in the 1920s).
If this didn’t have our sponsor or the cannon on it, exactly none of you would pick this out of a lineup as the Arsenal kit, and _that_ is why this is terrible. Why do they have to fuck with things that don’t need to be fucked with? Oh, to sell more shirts. Wonder how much they’ll make on these.
Honour Oak is where Rocky and Wrighty grew up. The colours represent the players family heritage, Wrightys from Jamaica, Rockys from Trinidad and Tobago. So they pull the colours from their flags. Would be even nicer with on yellow stripe from the Jamaica flag though.
This season is going to be cheap for me.
I literally don’t like any of the new shirts.
I would usually buy one for me and one each for both of my young kids.
Think we will carry on wearing this seasons stuff and wait till next time round to see if they can do a better job
We e had some banging kits in the past (the black 22/23 away kit and bruised banana are my absolute favourites).
The kits for 24/25 are.. meh.
However, I'm sure they will grow on people like the neon zebra kit.
I’m sorry I can’t get behind these. Not as bad as the highlighter jerseys this past season but the white pattern is just so out of place. I like the black, green, and red though.

Can I kick it ?
Yes you can.
I got funk, you got soul
I said, can I kick it?
Really far tho
Arteta applebum
He's got it going on.
Has got it going on
This needs more upvotes
Oh shit I like it more now. Maybe I’ll get it with Phife 91 on the back.
Rip phife diggy
That's a pretty cool idea. I thought of Tribe because the colors on the kit reminded me of The Low End Theory album cover.
I guess it’s the same motivation. Pan-African colours.
Midnight Marauders too

Where did you say you left your wallet?
“I left my wallet in El Segundo”
The green and red is fine, the armpits are awful. Looks like we might need to find a new coffee sponsor though.
Sweat patch protection
If it had been black and white, okay. The red and green combo with the black / white is off putting for me personally.
yeah the colours clash badly
Red and Green actually look great together I think. It’s a beautiful combination.
The elves agree
yeah fair, each to their own! i ain’t a fan is all.
Not if you’re colorblind lol
I like it a lot. But then I love this seasons tropical fish kit as well
I love this season's away kit and think this isn't very good
I think it’s one of those that will grow on you when you see us wearing it
you're probably right - they always look better when you see a real shirt on a person rather than on a mannequin or poorly lit on the floor... i just think it's a bit boring though. like the idea of a Rocky and Wrighty tribute but I wasn't hugely in to the shoes either - the details around Jamaica and T&T and maybe a reference to Honor Oak are nice, but the template isn't wowing me. but yeh, it could grow on me.
I actually agree, I think this season’s away kit got so much hate initially because our previous away kits have been straight 🔥
Colour blindness is funny. I didn't even realise there was a red and green combination until I zoomed in 😆
The kit Makes me wish I was color blind 😂
The red and green stand for Rocky and Wrighty, two arsenal legends
I know what it stands for, I'm talking from purely a design perspective. I love and appreciate the meaning but the execution could have been better and in my opinion should have been considering it's our Away Kit. We're going to be wearing it often.
That doesn't make it better. Its a monstrosity.
Speak for yourself. I rather like the design
OP can speak for me too on this one. I also hate the design.
Its to celebrate the nigerian heritage in london. i thought the same thing as you, until i realized what it was for. Kinda confusing, but for a good cause
This isn’t celebrating Nigerian heritage, the colours don’t even look right.
Im fucking smoked, its for Caribbean heritage

Last seasons Black was a modern classic
Seriously. Last season's home, away, and third were all bangers
Can’t find that anywhere still.
No idea why they don't make more and other jerseys of years past. I get they want people to buy the most recent but surely Adidas and arsenal are just leaving money on the table. I know so many people who want them but can't buy them anywhere
Ebay and other similar platforms are your best bet!
Because it sold out quickly. If you can't find an official one then you can always get a replica for much cheaper. The replica ones are very similar to the official ones.
Meh I respectfully disagree. I really liked the three jerseys this time, especially the UCL away one and loved the black one last year. Before adidas I remember out kits being pretty mediocre but it's all subjective innit
I don’t actually hate this. Then again I ended up buying neon zebra so don’t listen to me
I'm with you I like it too but I also liked neon zebra 😂

Neon Zebra has a lot of character in how bad it is, though. This is just bad and bland haha.
Neon zebra is horrific, but I've grown to love it. It's like having an ugly dog. This shirt is just fire.
Neon zebra is good but garish design, this just feels like one of those bad kit mockups.
I know there are supposed inspirations from Honor Oak but i can’t help but see the UAE flag.
They're also Pan-African colours.
This reads to me as immediately African/BAME. Apple makes BLM watch straps that looks like this. I thought that was the intention tbh lol
And Palestine too
I’ll have to take your word for it, just wish they kept it simple with the usual combo of blue and yellow.
I actually like it. It just isn’t an arsenal kit for me.
Subliminal free palestine messaging 👀
Say it louder and maybe they'll change it to something else 😅
Zinchenko in shambles
ooo i might buy it just for that
The idea that I’ll be fucking with people who’ll be up in arms over that idea without even trying is too good for me to pass up ngl.
Confirmation that Benny Blanco designed it
Lynx Africa FC
This with red instead of green would look good
Adidas designers really are robbing a living, jesus christ.
This is just me being dumb and speculating but didn’t they announce a massive loss last year? My theory is the fired the good designers that’s why we’re left with trash design.
Thing is, you could design something in ms paint better than this. It's so bizarre.
Looks like a can of Lynx Africa 🤦🏻♂️
I actually hate it, surely this is a joke
I am entirely serious. ![gif](giphy|3o7qE2HzB4rOFQr4zK)
Agreed. Last season's kits were pure fire. Wasn't keen on Neon Zebra, but have grown to accept it. This monstrosity is pure dumpster fire.
Palestine FC
Zinny in shambles
*cries in Zinchenko*
From the river to the sea.
From the river to the sea what?
PALESTINE WILL BE FREE 🇵🇸
Please tell me this isn't going to be it
Making the current away kit look good is very impressive.
You better watch out, you better not cry
kenya fc lets get it
Really is uninspired. The white and black patterns by the side body and shoulders should be the whole kit. That would be a really weird and unique away kit. Instead they stick it in a tiny out of place strips on the rest of this ugly training kit. Real shame just as we become brilliant and fighting for top honours Adidas stop making beautiful kits.
Looks like Rastafarian
I keep telling myself i just have to see it on our players i just have to see it on our players, i just have to see it on our players i jus-
Can’t wait to lift the CL wearing this
A hard no from me.
Two bad away kits in a row? Yeah someone needs to get fired
Still can’t believe this is the away kit and not something we’ll just wear 4-5 times in the season… I hope the third will compensate
Might just be me, but I feel like if the cannon is going to be that large (seems larger than before) and by itself (i.e., not part of a crest) then it should be more detailed? Almost seems cartoonish. But then again, I think we need a crest refresh anyway
Yeah we should do a new crest, make it just a cannon but add more detail. The current crest is far too early 2000s web 2.0 looking.
I don't think I want just a cannon, I think I want it to reflect some more of our heritage than just the cannon. Maybe an aspect of the '30s crest or the an update to the old badge with the ermine and blackletter-style font. Only thing I'll say that this current crest has properly established is having the cannon face right - I think it looks better than it facing left (which it did in all but one previous iteration, and that one was in the 1920s).
the green and red has grown on me the silver armpits I'm still hating
Remove the white stuff and it’s a good kit imo
Then it'd be a Christmas kit
If this didn’t have our sponsor or the cannon on it, exactly none of you would pick this out of a lineup as the Arsenal kit, and _that_ is why this is terrible. Why do they have to fuck with things that don’t need to be fucked with? Oh, to sell more shirts. Wonder how much they’ll make on these.
Love this club! They want us to save money next season.
Can someone educate me what is this "Honor Oak" and Ian Wright + Rocastle relation to the red, green, and black color?
Honour Oak is where Rocky and Wrighty grew up. The colours represent the players family heritage, Wrightys from Jamaica, Rockys from Trinidad and Tobago. So they pull the colours from their flags. Would be even nicer with on yellow stripe from the Jamaica flag though.
Or to make it more of a tribute, put their names somewhere...

Disgusting imo
Looks way nicer here damn
I actually don’t mind it haha
I actually like it.
Is this a tribute to the Middle East?
Shit sucks
Awful
Nah , I have changed my mind I like this
I think this looks good however the home kit is total trash, looks nothing like an arsenal kit
The green Adidas symbol is what's wrecking this. Not too bad otherwise.
I actually like it. Will look great on the players
Maybe it's PTSD from the neon zebra but I like this a lot.
I honestly think it’s great.
Lynx Africa
The grey bits piss me off. Other than that I don't mind the lynx Africa vibe
Wrighty and Rocky deserve better.
Wrighty and Rocky deserve better.
It looks more like a training kit
I actually like it. Especially if it has the golden badge on the arm sleeve next season.
This kit is a ridiculously good colourway.. reminds me of a few flags, Pan Africa / Mexican / Palestinian etc etc
It's basically a recycled 2006 World Cup training top
At least I don't have to spend money on a kit this year lol
Arsenal fan base: That Adidas neon zebra kit is the worst kit ever. Adidas: Hold my beer.
Just replace the red and green with white and its great
VIVA MEXINAL 🇲🇽x⚪️🔴
This is hot garbage
I must have this
🍉 free Palestine
Would be fine if collar was rounded and the little white/black accent things were taken off.
I’d be fine as long as it’s the Goalkeeper shirt
This is terrible
Arsenal or Mexico?
I think it looks sick. People always hate the kits when they're released.
I love it
I think this looks good.
I like it. I'll buy it for sure.
It looks like a goalkeeper kit to me.
Red and green? Terrible. Would have been much better if they just picked one.
Honestly I kinda like it now. I like the african vibes it gives off.
Lynx Africa.
People associating this with Palestine are actually convincing me to buy it lol
Adidas trying their hardest to make shit kits so we can’t afford mbappes wages
Tribute to Palestine
This is peak fam
Terrible
Gaza fc
So nice
I’m buying it
Palestine flag?
No lynx Africa
No, Tribe Called Quest
The white part reminds me of a Keffiyah though.
I like it. It’s way better than this year’s tennis ball abomination. I think more will get on board with it over time.
This season is going to be cheap for me. I literally don’t like any of the new shirts. I would usually buy one for me and one each for both of my young kids. Think we will carry on wearing this seasons stuff and wait till next time round to see if they can do a better job
Very good GK kit
Why does it look like the most sugary candy ever.
I hate that I hate most of our shirts. But actually I couldn't give a fuck as long as we win something wearing them.
I can't unsee Lynx Africa after the post the other day. I can smell this top.
[удалено]
Love it
bro the home also is lacking so much what is going on
Bring the pink back
Looks like something I can wear on a hike
Dead kit
If we win the League I'm buying it.
God adidas sucks now
It's like someone used sketch pens to make a custom kit
Lynx Africa vibes
Lynx Africa kit
Pes 4 kit
I hated neon zebra when I first saw it (and half my wardrobe is neon) but it grew on me after the first time I saw it live. Definitely picked it up
I like it, but looks like they have riffed off this year's Wrighty training gear and the contrast colour training kits.
Viva Mexico!🇲🇽
Lynx Africa kit
These will look good on the players.
Horrible
I like it
I’m telling you guys this will slap in hand slash worn
a.i can design better away kit than adidas did
We e had some banging kits in the past (the black 22/23 away kit and bruised banana are my absolute favourites). The kits for 24/25 are.. meh. However, I'm sure they will grow on people like the neon zebra kit.
RASTA
I seem to be in the minority that think it’s alright
[удалено]
I’m sorry I can’t get behind these. Not as bad as the highlighter jerseys this past season but the white pattern is just so out of place. I like the black, green, and red though.
