Arsenal fans livid after learning that key detail costs £30 extra on club's 2023/24 home shirt

Arsenal fans have been left disappointed after spotting that they must pay an extra £30 for a significant detail on the club's new home kit.

The Gunners released their 2023/24 home kit earlier this week, which is red with white sleeves and adorned with gold markings.

Arsenal men's and women's stars, including Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Beth Mead and Stina Blackstenius, showed off the kit, which is available to buy now from the club's official store.

Gunners fans will get an early opportunity to see the kit on show, with Mikel Arteta's side adorning it for Sunday's final Premier League fixture of the season against Wolves at the Emirates Stadium.

The shirt itself contains a homage to the Invincibles side, with next year being 20 years since Arsene Wenger's side went a whole season unbeaten for only the second time in English top division history, after Preston North End did so in 1888/89.

That season's entire streak is engraved on a section of the shirt to commemorate the landmark achievement.

But there is a catch - and Arsenal fans are certainly not happy about it.

Arsenal fans fume at kit difference

On the club's official store, there are two different versions of the shirt available to purchase. One - the normal home shirt - comes in at £80.

There is also an 'authentic shirt' option, which comes in at £110. However, fans have spotted that this does feature the Invincibles engraving, but the other doesn't - meaning fans have to pay an extra £30 to get it.

There are other minor differences on the 'authentic shirt', with the badge being heat pressed and the shirt featuring air cooling technology. But upon learning that the £80 shirt doesn't have the Invincibles tribute, fans were less than impressed.

Just a heads up for everyone interested in buying the new Arsenal home shirt.

The standard fan version of the shirt worth £80, does not have the Invincibles winning streak detailing on the shirt. This is only on the authentic shirt.

One tweeted: "Felt this disappointment this morning man, it sucks."

Another said: "Ridiculous to be honest."

And a third fan summed up the views of many: "Well that's massively disappointing Arsenal. You'd think the +£80 would be enough to get the whole shirt, not just a bit of it!"

A fourth added: "First thing I looked for and notice when mine arrived today... little gutted."

Meanwhile, another fan was furious at the price point for both shirts: "Following Liverpool kit launch, now Arsenal are at it. £80, £110 - absolutely unbelievable."
