Arsenal finally launched their new 2017/18 kit on Wednesday morning and while Gooners generally appear to like it, many more seem far more concerned with the Gunners’ lack of signings so far this summer.
Although it’s not massively different, Arsenal’s new home kit reverts to their classic red, which Gooners seem to prefer. It’s a bit darker than the kits of recent seasons, drawn from the right side of the Arsenal crest.
There’s also a cute little cannon on the yoke of the shirt, celebrating 50 years of the cannon being included, while the shape and material is purely made to help the Arsenal players’ bodies breath during matches, as well as allow them to move freely.
Fans seems split over the collar, which is different to last season’s.
However, the majority don’t seem to care about the kit that much.
After a hard 2016/17 season, most Gooners just want to see some progress in the transfer market. They’re not interested in something else designed to make them spend more money themselves.
Here’s how fans reacted to the new home kit.
that's more like it

Good to see they're going for the full "Sunday Morning Pub Footballer" look on the right.

The football clothing equivalent of a wet-look Topman suit, man bun and cheeky Nando's.

Looks so different to the last 25 kits

New kit is very nice. Like the collar, nice details, proper Arsenal red & a proper badge too. Not quite hooped socks but they'll do.

The collar looks odd

It’s pretty amusing trying to watch everyone ‘pretend’ they’ve never seen this kit after it was leaked months ago.
The away kit is thought to be blue, while the third is supposed to be black with bright pink detailing.
