Arsenal have now officially released their new home kit for next season, but after some excellent releases under Adidas, some fans are not convinced on the latest edition.
Adidas replaced Puma as Arsenal’s kit supplier in the 2019-20 season, and there have been some outstanding releases, with the 2022-23 black away kit a particularly popular one.
Arsenal’s home kit for this season was also popular amongst the fanbase, with gold lettering paying homage to the Invincibles campaign 20 years ago, but unfortunately for Mikel Arteta, a miracle from David Moyes on the final day will be necessary if his side are to lift the Premier League title in the final time they wear it.
After the upcoming fixture against Everton, Arsenal will switch to their newest kit, but fans are not yet convinced that this will be an upgrade on the current one, with one design feature causing particular disappointment.
Arsenal fans disappointed over excessive white and blue colours in new home kit
Arsenal released their new kit, which also features a simplified cannon instead of the usual badge, much to the delight of fans, but there is one problem with the kit overall.
The traditional colours of Arsenal home kits over the years have typically featured red as the dominant colour, with features of white and sometimes black or blue.
However, this new kit features blue and white quite heavily, especially on the back, and fans have taken to X to express their disappointment.
“Too much white IMO,” one fan posted.
“Did they run out of red?” Another fan fumed, pointing out the excessive white colours.
“Too much of the white I think, also unoriginal,” a fan stated, possibly referring to the similarities between this new release and the 2021-22 home kit which also raised similar complaints.
Although many consider Adidas to be an upgrade on what Puma provided between 2014 and 2019, some are still unhappy, despite Arsenal’s improvement on the pitch.

“We might win the league with this abomination of a kit. We need to ditch Adidas,” one fan fumed.
“Still too much blue in this kit for my liking…like Arsenal is a red team not a blue team massive difference,” another frustrated fan highlighted.
“Not overly keen on first impressions, looks like an overly designed Puma kit. Will need to see it on pitch of course,” one claimed.
There will be few complaints if Arsenal manage to win silverware in their new kit next season, but for now there is still some scepticism over whether Adidas have produced another hit or a flop.
