Arsenal F.C. concept

[Dave Ship]

This is my idea for the Gunners. One of the most important and popular team of Europe.

I didn't use EPL font because i can't find the new one, obviously. So I came up with this.

[chestnutz]

As a Gunner fan, I think this is nice. It's hard to beat their current ones because they're so classic and great. To me the shorts seem a bit too plain, and I think hooped socks would look awesome. Would love to see a clash kit and see what you can do to improve that beauty or their thirds.

[gordie_delini]

Simple. Clean. Elegant. PM with your email address and I'll send you the FAPL font and sleeve badge so you can have it for this design. I too agree with chestnutz that it needs hooped socks for the home, but I love the simplicity of the shorts. Oh, and the number goes on top of the swoosh

[Jarred Revolver]

Wow, great job! Hooped socks would totally make this kit awesome. Not that high on 'Arsenal FC' on the back of the collar though, but I can live with that.

[patsox]

Very classy...Very classic and traditional looking while still modern. I like it.

[Therien's Kid]

Nice but it's hard to tell is that another swoosh at the front of the collar? Hopefully not.

Home kit update:

While waiting for the new EPL font and patch I came out with this clash kit:

Champion's League kit:

[chestnutz]

Those blue ones are nice, but I think they'd be better with white shorts (I've always been a fan of white shorts with colored tops).

[gordie_delini]

All blue away kit = yes, but with white = NO. That would be a staple of a sp*rs clash kit. We go with all blue and yellow or yellow top-blue shorts.

[Saturn]

Man, those hoop'd socks make a world of difference. And thumbs up to the clash kit.

[beeflfc]

their great kits, i love the purple one, the only thing is that maybee the home shirt is a bit too similar to the current arsenal one but other than that it is good

[penguin20]

That yellow one looks too much like the new Chelsea kits.

What?!?

[chestnutz]

beef, Arsenal's kits have ALWAYS been red with white sleeves, so you can't change them too much. It's like Chelsea not wearing blue.

penguin, that doesn't look anything like Chelsea's neon yellow ones (well besides yellow top and black shorts), but thsoe were basically the same kits they wore last year as their clash. BTW, I love that yellow kit you have there beatnik, and I think it would serve better as the main clash actually.

I just meant the yellow with black shorts, not the adidas craziness. And if Arsenal had yellow first then Chelsea are the copies.

Europe is quite different from the States. What you just wrote here has got no sense to me.

[mantleisthebest7]

That looks incredible! I love the navy kit. Awesome work!

[leafsfan_101]

Hey Beat, did you get my PM?? And if they can be made into raster's also that would be fantastic.

*BZZZZ* try again. It was Herbert Chapman in the 1930s who introduced the now eternal red with white sleeves combo for which Arsenal are now famous. In fact, the original kit was a dark redcurrant kit, brought to the team from two former Nottingham Forest players. They wore the darker redcurrant (or maroon, if you like) shirts until Champman arrived. So the story goes, during a press interview he saw a gentleman wearing a white buttondown shirt with a red sleeveless cardigan over the top, and the look was soon adopted for the Arsenal primary kits, and so they have been for almost 80 years. But for the first 50, this was not the case.

And penguin, clash kits are just year-to-year. They are not as traditional as the home kits are. Often times teams wear a specific scheme for their clash kit, but this is not set in stone as much as the primary (home) kit is. For instance, Arsenal typically rotates between an all-blue clash kit and a yellow top-blue shorts clash kit; however this year, Arsenal are wearing a white top with redcurrant shorts. Chelsea usually wear an all blue primary with a white clash kit. But clash kits are fickle and subject more so to fashion trends than are primary kits.

[chestnutz]

My bad I just kind of summarized by saying ALWAYS because as you said they've been around for 80 years, which I'm pretty sure is longer than any of us have lived.
