As we draw closer to the end of Arsenal’s contract with Puma, more and more Adidas merchandise is starting to leak into the public domain.
For the most part, the leaks have been pretty popular so far, with a home training shirt and a European training kit going down well with fans. However, the latest effort to hit the headlines isn’t proving quite as much of a fan favourite.
FootyHeadlines leaked the new ‘Adidas Arsenal 19-20 Anthem Jacket’ this week, set to be launched together with the new home kit this summer:
Unfortunately, not all Arsenal fans were on board with the design, suggesting they were expecting more from Adidas:

Red and blue isn’t really a good combo for Arsenal

It’s awful

There were other fans who were more excited about the leak though. As always with fashion, the more positive posts about the design tended to inspire positive replies, and vice-versa.

It’s worth mentioning that this design isn’t confirmed yet, but it seems pretty likely it’s real, as it’s the same template Adidas have been using for other recent releases. Let’s hope it grows on the doubters by the time it’s officially up for sale.
