This is the new Arsenal kit 2016/17, Arsenal’s home strip for the 2016/2017 Premier League season. Made by Puma, the new Gunners jersey was officially unveiled on May 23, 2016. The release, earlier than normal by Arsenal standards, was perhaps necessitated after leaked photos of Granit Xhaka in the new kit taken by his partner went viral on the internet
Despite a relatively poor season, Arsenal managed to finish second in the Premier League behind champions Leicester- ahead of their bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The predominantly red shirt sees a distinctive vertical stripe down the front, with a gothic “A” on the back of the jersey. White shorts and red socks complete the look of the new Arsenal strip.
The new uniform will be first worn by the Arsenal ladies team in a friendly later this week against Seattle Reign.
Looks brilliant! Has a really nice retro look to it in my opinion. I really like this. The only thing bad I would say is that it doesn’t need the stripe down the shirt but it isn’t too noticeable to matter that much.
That red stripe makes me completely hate this kit. It is an utterly useless bit of design, and whoever decided it was a good idea should be fired.
Meh- not too keen on their red stripe but aside from it it’s practically last season’s kit
Not a great fan of the stripe, but it’s not too bad.
The stripe is the killer, surely the designer then puma then Arsenal could have seen that…..but clearly they didn’t it would seem
Are those “slim cut” shirts a special edition? Every year the fit perfect at poayers. But faneditions don’t fit that good. The fit as a normal t-shirt.
WTF WITH THAT RED BAND!? urgh….
not the best not the worst
did someone at puma not think to turn the stripe into a st georges cross,or is that too much thinking for the twats
I really like it! It’s creative and original, yet respectful of Arsenal’s traditional look
@Dirk
That’s because the players have the right body for those perfect fit shirts, The fans have replica’s that fit like regular t-shirts because not all fans have the bodies that footballers have! lol
@Jonny
Exactly. If I was to put on a player’s shirt I’d be like a jellyfish in a fishnet legging.
When do stores start getting in the new kit?? When was it released?? The arsenal kit that is!!
Stripe kills the shirt.
I think they took some inspiration from the Printer colours template for the Goalie sleeves.

Terrible collar, yet another attempt to do something ‘different’ around the neck just for the sake of it….looks clunky and awkward. Terrible central stripe looks like the trail of a huge slug.

The goalkeepers kit sleeve detail looks like a printer cartridge box!
