Arsenal have unveiled their new home, away and cup kits for the upcoming season, in collaboration with their new partners Puma.
Adios Nike, Hello Puma
The Gunners after ending their 20-year partnership with Nike, signed with the German giants Puma this year. The new deal is reported to be worth £150m over 5 years, the biggest in Arsenal and English football history.
The home kit is a classic red strip with white sleeves, while the away kit is yellow with dark blue sleeves. The third kit, which is to be worn during cup ties, has diagonal shades of blue.
The new Arsenal kit was officially launched by Puma in London on Thursday night. Proceedings at the unveiling involved a dramatic projection of the new kit onto the river Thames.
There have been names assigned for the new strips by the North London club. The home kit will be caled 'forever', the away kit has been named 'victorius', while the cup kit has been named 'future'.
Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini were present at the unveiling ceremony at the Puma store at Carnaby Street, London. After the jereseys were unveiled to the media present, the public was given a glimpse via the 20 metre high water projection at the Thames.
Sanchez now a Gunner
The new Arsenal kits have been unveiled at the perfect time for the club, as Alexis Sanchez also became a Gunner. The Chile and Barcelona forward was officially snapped up by the FA Cup champions for £30million.
The club's official website confirmed that Sanchez, who made 88 appearances for the Camp Nou-based side, is now officially an Arsenal player. "As many people have seen during the World Cup this summer, Alexis is a fantastic footballer and we are delighted that he is joining us at Arsenal Football Club," confirmed Arsene Wenger.
Here’s Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski welcoming the new lad to the Emirates Stadium.
In Good Company
Arsenal now join the Puma stable, that includes English clubs like Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers along with German giants Borussia Dortmund.
