1. The winner
A massive 61% – that’s almost two thirds of you – prefer the sharp-looking, dark grey ensemble with bright pink detailing.
Ha! The home kit is the one I like least. But I LOVE the third kit

the 3rd kit is gorgeous, honestly the away kit one of the worst in have seen
— Heurist (@Outerfoot) July 27, 2017
dark grey kit is fire. Blue arsenal jerseys should be banned.

The third kit. Its rare and is looking really good on our players. The home kit bothers me with the buttons, away kit doesnt show its ours.

Although some may like it a bit too much…
That third kit makes me man-wet

2. Runner-up
In second place, by quite a long way with 29% of the vote, we have the traditional-looking home kit.
Red with white sleeves. You can’t really go wrong, except the collar seems to be producing some mixed responses.
I really like the home and third kit but will have to say home is my overall favorite

Home is ok but dodgy collar. Away is crap. 3rd kit is pretty cool

3. Loser
However, with just 10% of the vote was the third kit, which evoked the biggest response of the three: disgust.
they are all nice but the away kit isn’t remotely Arsenal. Couldn’t they at least have had some yellow trim? Also more clashes

Having a blue kit does not seem right

Anything but away kit.

The main gripe appears to be with the colour, since blue is often a colour that represents Arsenal’s rivals, which is something the club appear to have tried to combat by insisting that they’ve used blue in their kits since 1892 and therefore is it traditional.
However, Arsenal Twitter has spoken, and over on Arsenal Facebook, it’s pretty much the same story.
At the time of writing, the third kit had 79 votes. However, the away kit was slightly in the lead with 16 votes compared to the home kit’s 14.
Have your say here.
