Arsenal's home shirt for 26/27 season leaks online and fans are divided

Arsenal are still in the hunt for the Premier League title and European glory in the shape of the Champions League this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side will be fully focused on the task at hand as they look to have their fans celebrating with at least one piece of silverware, if not two, heading into the summer and the World Cup.

While the majority of the attention from supporters is on the current campaign, there will be those feeling nostalgic for previous success and others that are looking forward to the future.

For those fans that are looking forward, they may be excited after the Arsenal's home shirt for the 26/27 season has been leaked online; however, the overall reaction has been mixed as supporters have taken to social media to give their thoughts and opinions on the new jersey.

One fan who is not impressed wrote: “I hope the away and third shirts are better. Stripes are too big. Collar is bad. Pattern in those colours just doesn’t work for me. It’s too busy. Thin burgundy stripes on the shoulders, burgundy collar and sleeve ends – it might have been okay. This isn’t one for me.”

Another fan said: “Who approves these designs? As nothing about this jersey screams ARSENAL other than the badge... Haven't had a nice home kit in the past few years... Still better than this year’s home kit.”

A common complaint rose up among the fan base was that the top looked too much like a Premier League rival.

One supporter said: “Should be only red and white; this looks more like a Man UTD kit than an Arsenal kit.”

While several supporters simply used the same word to describe the leaked kit for the 26/27 season, ‘ugly’.

However, there are several in the fanbase who are impressed by this potential kit for the next campaign, particularly if an addition is made to the jersey.

One fan wrote: “I think if we win the league we should be rocking some gold too.”

Another agreed with this sentiment as they wrote: “UCL badge and a star on top of the crest, the golden premier badge on the arm, the UEFA Super Cup badge in the middle of the chest – wow.”

While one fan appeared nostalgic as they said: “Feels like a throwback to early 00s shirts, love it.”
