Arsenal’s 2019-20 away kit was apparently leaked online last week – and it’s fair to say Alexandre Lacazette is impressed with the potential new look.
Next season Arsenal move from Puma to Adidas, and if the leaks are correct, the Gunners are in for some stunning shirts.
The home kit was leaked this month – with the usual red paired with the Adidas stripes on the shoulders and thin pin stripes going down the front.
Their away kit, however, takes on a different look – and t he initial response from the Arsenal faithful was positive .
The design will be familiar to older Arsenal fans as it bears a resemblance to the change uniform used between 1991 and 1993 – and is still regularly seen sported in the stands at the Emirates.
Looking like a ‘bruised banana’ the bright yellow is mixed with sliced triangles which zig and zag up and down the top.
And fans have been given a glimpse of what Lacazette could look like wearing the shirt, after Instagram user Gunnerballz mocked up the design.
The French striker soon became aware of the image and seemed to approve, reposting the image on his account.
If this kit proves to be true, it will be the first time since the 2016-17 season that the Gunners will wear yellow.
Arsenal are currently fourth in the Premier League, two points clear of nearest rivals Manchester United in fifth.
Unai Emery’s men are also in the Europa League quarter-finals, and face Italian giants Napoli in a two-legged encounter.
