It's not that bad (apart from the green of course!) and it's worth remembering that Arsenal played away in white before the yellow and blue!

I think it looks nice. With the redcurrant sleeves at least it's not an all-white strip, that would have been horrible.

Could have been a lot worse...

I think the 'green' is gold?
Given the amount of red (redcurrant) in the kit, how many times are they going to be able to use it?

It's not a white shirt - it's red and white - Arsenal's colours. It's just the reverse of the home shirt - what's the problem?

A one handed blind crackhead on a rollercoaster having an epileptic fit could draw a better kit than that.

Ah yes, the famous Arsenal board, who care so much about our tradition, with such a reputation for doing things 'the right way'.

Seriously, I wonder how long we'll take it in the ass from this lot, before realising that demonising Kroenke because he's american isn't exactly sensible...

It's about time we dumped Nike and signed a deal with Adidas.

Back to yellow and blue please!

It looks a lot better than I expected. I have no problem with it, really. It's not pure white like our cunt enemies. It's really just a reverse of our home kit, with a little bit of redcurrant history mixed in. I think it looks decent.

It's a predominantly white kit, end of story. It has NO relation to Arsenal's history, and is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

Seriously, I'd be against Kroenke if the current board weren't such a bunch of cunts.

what is the latest trend with having a white away kit??? manure + chav$ki (prob most hated teams at the moment) have a white away kit so why do we have to follow suit? Does the board or the designers want the public to hate us in the same way? Bring back the yellow one!!!!!!

Ever heard Hill-Wood talk about football Bgooner? The guy's an absolute buffoon - screw him.

The rest of them? Bracewell Smith? Chips Keswick?

I'd rather a yank who's made his own money was in charge of the purse strings than this bunch of tarts with hereditary titles...

That looks wank. Let's look at something here:

Yellow shirt with blue sleeves. Blue shorts with yellow trim. Yellow socks with blue trim.

Nike have never really done this for us before, apart from a 'stop-gap' kit they put together in the late 90s. So what's the deal? It's different from their previous piss poor attempts at our away kit, and mark my words - it'll piss all over the other away kits they've made in terms of sales.

Note to Nike: Stick blue away shirts up your arse. Stick white away shirts up your arse. Stick yellow and grey away shirts up your arse. Our colours are yellow and blue.

When? I don't recall it, and I'm definitely getting on a bit now - certainly too old to be signed by Arsene Wenger!

Shall we move the club back to Woolwich too - all in the name of 'tradition', after all...

This must be a wind up.

You cant have an away kit that uses the same colours as the home kit. When would you ever be able to pl;ay in it?

Ah yes - so David Dein's the villain for wanting to move to Wembley to progress the club into the future (after all, we're not from North London anyway), but it's alright to take on a new strip that's the same colour as our rivals because we wore it at a time that most of the current fans don't remember?

Now that's what I call progressive thinking!
