No doubt you’ve probably all seen the pictures of what’s supposed to be our new kit by now. If not, see below. Clicking on the picture makes a big picture, try it.

According to my chums over on Arsenal Mania, the new kits are based on the new Brazil shirt and Nike are making all their new kits look like this. Now, just because something is good enough for Brazil doesn’t mean it’s good enough for us. Those two new shirts look fucking horrible. This gold piping down the front of the home shirt makes it look like a unfinished pattern from Woman’s Way, and as for the away kit…well….
Our away kit should be yellow and blue. Mostly yellow, with some blue. Like a yellow shirt with blue shorts. Like this year’s very cool away kit. I am increasingly flummoxed by Nike’s insistence on making blue kits for us.
Blue is a colour for cunts like Everton, Chelsea, Birmingham, Leicester and half of Blackburn. It should never be used in an Arsenal away kit for two reasons:
1 – It’s minging and has about as much to do with Arsenal as Tottenham do with the top of the table
2 – We never win anything with a blue kit.
If we manage to win the league this season, you can put money on us losing it against next season if we’re playing in a blue kit. Who makes these decisions? Who at Arsenal Football Club said ‘Hey, let’s have another blue kit?’. If anyone knows, please leave a message in the arses, or contact me via this form.
So, the conclusion is that both the new shirts are tacky, horrible, tasteless and one of them is the wrong colour entirely. The badge in the middle of the shirt is a big pile of wank too. Not impressed at all.
Three interesting pieces in the Independent. One about the transfer of José Antonio, another about AW’s cosmopolitan Arsenal compared to the 89 Arsenal side, and the last about Patrick Vieira and how he feels Arsenal have learned a lot in their previous European campaigns and how that will stand us in good stead going into the 1/4 finals. Dennis Bergkamp, who may or may not be fit for the weekend’s game after getting studs in the chest, is looking for a new one year deal. There really aren’t too many players with his craft, so another year would be a good move for both parties, I reckon.
Right, a busy day ahead as I start the process of moving Arseblog, and all my other sites, to a new server. You may notice some weirdness over the course of the weekend. The Arses may go back and forward in time, there may well be two arses, unless I close the arses, and the forums will be closed for a little while. Fingers crossed, wish me luck.
