ARSENAL fans were convinced they had gone back in time when the club shared a snap of their kit for the FA Cup final.
The Gunners have decided to change the font on the back of their kit for Saturday’s must-win clash against rivals Chelsea.

But Arsenal fans have claimed it looks so bad that Chelsea have an early advantage.
The images shared to the club’s Twitter page show Kieran Tierney’s shirt complete with the retro font.
Arsenal shared the snap to show the ‘Heads Together’ logo had been added to the bottom.
But one fan responded: “Who designed that font, William Shakespeare? Absolute disgrace. No chance we win on Saturday.”
Another added: “That font bothers me deeply.
And one Twitter user said: “I just don’t know why you’ve gone all Age of Empires owith this font.”
One fan joked: “WTF is that font? This is Arsenal FC not FC Death Metal Music.”
The font is said to be inspired by the old Arsenal FC crest that was used from 1949 until 2002.
Even though they do not approve of the kit, Mikel Arteta has insisted the fans deserve to experience the “joy” that comes with winning the FA Cup.

He said: “Everyone’s worked so hard since I joined here to try to bring this club back to winning titles so if we can achieve that, I will be delighted.
“But not for myself, for the players and the club that has been through some very difficult moments in the last few seasons.
“And as well for our fans because they really deserve for us to give them some joy and nice moments.”
