An image purporting to show Arsenal‘s home shirt for the 2023/24 season has leaked online.
While it is still not known whether this is the actual kit or not, it does tally with many of the rumours that have circulated in recent months.
The dominance of gold in terms of the Adidas stripes, sponsor logo and piping is the main talking point and it’s fair to say that supporters on Twitter are not liking the new design:
hideous 🔥🔥

It should be noted that there is NO confirmation that this is the official kit but, if it is, the new look isn’t going to be popular.
Adidas have been pretty decent since they replaced Puma in 2019, but this could be their first misstep when it comes to the home shirt. Some may feel that it will look better in person, but the liberal use of gold really doesn’t fit the team’s colours whatsoever.
