    ARSENAL fans are in disgust after fresh images of their new away kit – which they will wear for their return to the Champions League – was leaked online.The Gunners are set to feature in Europe’s premier competition for the first time since 2016-17.

    But some fans are appalled by the kit Adidas have produced for away matches which will likely feature in some of their trips around the continent.
    Since taking over Arsenal kit manufacturing responsibilities in 2019 Adidas have proved popular amongst Gooners, but their latest design is a move from tradition.
    The bright colour of the shirt and socks has been described as “fluo-green-yellow” with flowing black lines patterned on the front.
    Fans were not happy when the kit was initially leaked last month and they have doubled down on that feeling.

    A third said: “There’s no way we finally have Ucl nights back and we’re rocking up with this😭 just keep the black away kit”
    And another commented: “Adidas have never let us down so badly.”

    The red shirt has a strange subtle snakeskin-style pattern across it, a V-neck and black and white trim.
    The image online also shows the new adidas logo and TeamViewer sponsorship on the front as well as the iconic United badge.
    One fan had already tweeted adidas to beg them for some nice kits next term.

    The sportswear giant replied: “Soon,” with a shaking hands emoji.
    However, supporters were less than impressed by the potential new strip.

    A third added: “Looking like double quilted toilet paper.”
    A fourth fumed: “I’ll cry if this is it.”
    And a final user commented: “Was this a kids’ competition? Under-12s design United a kit! This is the winner.”
    However, a few fans were relatively happy with it.
    One said: “Very clean… infinitely better than this year’s shirt.”
    A second wrote: “This is actually nice.”
    And a third typed: “That’s fire.”
    However, plenty of fans pointed out that TeamViewer is set to be replaced as the front-of-shirt sponsor.
    The software company terminated their £235million contract after less than two years in December following a drop in their share price.

    Although a statement confirmed there will be an option for United to “buy back the rights”.
    Adidas will make the kit once more as part of their ten-year, £750m deal with the Old Trafford club.

    But it was the kit rather than the team now being 16 points clear in the race for the Scudetto that has got everyone talking.

    This year is represented by the zodiac sign of the Rabbit, which features special embroidery on the back of the kit.
    The dark blue and golden trim kit is also “made with at least 20% recycled material.”
    The kit’s striking look, donned by stars such as Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in promotional material, drew the attention of many fans.

    One user blasted the price tag, saying: “Way too expensive! £70 while in a cost-of-living crisis (is) way too much!

    A third user queried: “Why can’t they wear this kit at least once?”
    The Lunar Year of the Rabbit will be ushered in on January 22.
    Funnily enough, City will be in action against Wolves on that day.
    But first of all the Cityzens will focus their attention on their Carabao Cup clash against Southampton on Wednesday, before shifting their attention to Saturday’s Manchester derby. More
