Olympiakos'..... uh.. away? Kit?
Hmm. Not a fan of the red pinstripes, but pretty good nonetheless!

The Arsenal away kit looks pretty dowdy in that weather.

Here is a little trivia about both the Arsenal away kit design and Puma's diamond designs this season.
The diamond pattern that is featured on several Puma teams kits this season is a throwback to the early 90's Weder Bremen and other teams Puma kits;
For the Arsenal design, the colours were chosen because Arsenal have a history of wearing Yellow it made sense with the recent FA Cup success to alter that into gold. Further to this memories of another successful era in the colour (early 00's) also led to bringing back the gold. The diamond design when viewed is actually different to the above image and the other kits this year with the design, as the Arsenal kit features the "A device" that is featured in the triangle on the back of the jersey for all 3 kits this year. Finally the V insert is a throwback to older kit designs that featured this in some form and fits with the general design of the kit.
*Information taken from a video about the kit on the Arsenal websites video player.

I appreciate the factoids craegus, but damn, when is throwing back to the nineties a good idea in football kit design? Shudder. The change to gold and navy has totally ruined it too.
Agree re: the diamond pattern, however it definitely evokes memories of 01-02 when we did the double.

That it does. Hopefully it will replicate that feat or even take us to a treble.
On a side note the old one I have has Bergkamp 10 on the back, and for some continuity I went with Wilshere 10 when I ordered the new one.
Asia trophy, Emirates Cup, Community Shield??

I was thinking a bit bigger than that, but they will do to start.

Sheer brilliance, from the goal, to the celebration, to the jubilation in the away end, to Wenger's reaction.
The diamond pattern is ordinary and unnecessary as Dylan implied. I'm all for digging up such an iconic number as inspiration, though.
Puma are shite and I h8 them but the away kit receives a pass from me.

I don't think it's actually going to look much better under better lights.
It's just going to look like slightly better lit baby poo.

That's just sad. $500 at least or all of those. Consider the opportunity cost.
Hell, not to mention the AUD to GBP exchange at the moment.

The kits are not that bad, and no worse than the Nike ones. So money well spent IMO.

Seriously, I have liked all the designs (so far) and the make and feel of the kits are quite good.
Ergh. Looked at the Liverpool away strip because it looks fire, turns out a top + number (big skrt) + prem patches is like 140 bucks without thinking about shipping. I reckon the last one I bought was about 110 with delivery.

If only you were in Adelaide where a lot of sports stores are selling training gear and kits..

I could swear I've seen Premier League font heat press letter and number kits on the rack in Rebel Sport over here.

Good point. Could always cut costs by NOT adding numbers...
But Premier League numbers? Or the club ones?
Prem. I ****ed up my last order when I got the 2012/13 home and got Liverpool lettering with prem patches.
Was really keen to get a Liverpool kit with Stevie G in club lettering and Champions League patches...then I saw the kits they released last season. Decided to stick with my grey Adidas Carlsburg top.Prem. I stuffed up my last order when I got the 2012/13 home and got Liverpool lettering with prem patches.
