FURIOUS Arsenal fans reckon they are being stitched up over a “hidden” detail in the club’s new shirt.
Supporters must pay £30 EXTRA to get the same classy homage to the 2003-4 Invincibles that their heroes will wear on their kit out on the pitch.
Fans were initially wowed by the discreet 20th anniversary tribute to the famous title winners who went a whole season unbeaten in the Premier League.
But for some that excitement turned to anger when they heard the £80 replica shirts do NOT include the stylish reference to 26 wins and 12 draws two decades ago.
Instead supporters will have to fork out £110 for the ‘authentic’ shirt.
One supporter posted: “Yeah it’s incredibly disappointing that you have to spend an extra £30, to get detailing on the shirt which was advertised as a key component of the shirt.”

Another wrote “Very cruel” and a third hit out: “Man, that’s actually mad disappointing. What the hell. “
A fourth argued: “Yeah I saw both in the Armoury yesterday and while the authentic one is nicer, it’s not £30 nicer.”
The new top was unveiled by Arsenal women in their 2-0 home loss against Aston Villa in Saturday’s WSL finale.
And Mikel Arteta’s men will wear it for the first time on the final day of the Prem season, at home to Wolves on Sunday.

One blasted the absence of “key details” and many seemed to think the club was taking advantage of their loyalty.
This post spoke for many: “They want to make a little more money like smartphone manufacturers do with their ‘pro’ models and given that the shirt has gone up in price for 3 years running, it’s very cruel. “
