-DASH Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i'd say it likely is real. it's not so bad, eh? nothing too outta control...I guess I still don't want to accept the fact they won't be wearing nike anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's a red shirt with white sleeves. It's really no different from any number if shirts nike produced for Arsenal, if it's genuine. It's funny how people pre conceptions of certain manufacturers affect people's critiques around here.Has nothing to do with the manufacturer - Nike has produced some of the best kits Arsenal has worn in decades, along with one of the worst. All along the same lines as "a red shirt with white sleeves"This particular red shirt with white sleeves is not as nice as many of Nike's versions. That little finger of white on the shoulder - goofy. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For a decade, Fire fans have clamored for the return of a city flag kit. This year, the team finally promised to make a third kit based on the city flag for the 2014 season.Yeah, the Fire promise a lot of things.I must have missed the city council meeting where Rahm Emanuel sold city flag branding rights to MLS in a public-private partnership, but given everything else he's done, I certainly can't rule out it having happened.

shaydre1019 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 please don't be real..Not bad. One of the better looking kits pumas produced in a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevs7 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I doubt Henry would be wearing a fake kit. At least it has all white sleeves. This is still the worst Arsenal kit because it doesn't have sold white sleeves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I doubt Henry would be wearing a fake kit.Even more so when he's pictured alongside current Arsenal players who are also wearing Puma branded club clobber.The original source of the photo - the official twitter account of Linford Christie - also adds credibility to the pic.

However, I would say that along with the above comment, the clues are there to suggest this is probably real. UBI FIDES IBI LUX ET ROBUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a chance that this is a 'fake'. Whether or not it's the finished, finalised Arsenal 2014-15 kit maybe another matter however. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waleslax Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Nope, it is legit: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/246015.htmlPremier LeagueOlympic 100m gold medal winner Linford Christie appears to have jumped the gun on Arsenal's kit for next season - after tweeting and quickly deleting a picture of club legend Thierry Henry in a new Puma-sponsored shirt.Christie posted the picture on Tuesday of himself with Henry, a fellow Puma ambassador, alongside Arsenal's Olivier Giroud and Bacary Sagna. Giroud also appears to be sporting more new Puma apparel.However it didn't take long for Christie - who won gold for Great Britain in Barcelona in 1992 - to remove the post, though not before it had gone viral.Arsenal signed a British record £150 million five-year deal with Puma in May that will come into effect from the end of the season. The club have worn kits manufactured by Nike since 1994.Read more at http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/246015.html#KLeWrqUAmtHq7uBh.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not saying it isn't mind). It could easily be a prototype for instance. It seems very early to have all the kit details worked and made up like that. We've seen relatively early leaks from Puma before, but we've also seen early leaks turn out not to be the finalised kit in the end. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 The Puma teamwear catalog leaked earlier (I think it's since been disappeared from the web) had a very similar template that was clearly meant for Arsenal. So I'd say this is legit, or at least very close to the final product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the manufacturer switch, the old (vastly superior) Nike gear should be available on clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Honestly, this seems like a much more muted design for Puma. Hopefully landing the Arsenal contract will put them in a new direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
