      by

      It features a “mineral green” base with navy shoulders and an “off-white stylised crest and sponsor logos” that the North London club say has “reinvented a cult classic fit for the present day”.
      The kit was unveiled alongside a film produced by Arsenal that “brings continental style to the streets of Islington”.
      It features summer signings Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz along with England and Arsenal Women’s star Leah Williamson in a production that includes notable landmarks from around the Emirates such as a kebab and ice cream shop as well as a chippie.
      And even Martin Odegaard got involved as the star-studded cast modelled the shirt along with a number of trendy outfits to accompany it.

      The replica kit is available from Adidas for £80, while the authentic kit is priced at £110 and can be bought from the club directly.
      One fan responded to the unveiling with: “The advert is like a funeral. So sad.”
      Another thought it was a rip off of Manchester United’s new away kit, writing: “‘Copy United’s but remove the stripes’. Adidas: ‘OK.’”
      But an Arsenal fan hit back and said: “There is literally zero resemblance between these kits.”

      After seeing new boy Kai Havertz striking a pose in the new jersey on top of collared shirt and a pair of loud trousers, another joked: “I’m definitely going to recreate this Harvetz look.”
      Another replied that the German ace looked “dope” while a fellow fan claimed he looked like he was from “a scene out of Matrix”.
      However, the inclusion of fellow new boy Timber sparked some sadness among supporters.
      The £40m Dutch defender, 22, went down during the Gunners’ 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
      It has since been confirmed he has damaged his anterior cruciate ligament which could rule him out for the rest of the SEASON.
      And after he featured in the clip, one fan wrote: “Every time I see a photo of Timber I want to cry.”
      With a fellow Gooner responding to that with: “Same. Just feel so so sad. Hopefully will come back stronger.”

      Chelsea finally agree new shirt sponsor deal but face race against time to get Premier League approval for Liverpool tie

      by

      CHELSEA have finally agreed a new shirt sponsor deal for the upcoming season with their Premier League opener against Liverpool just days away.According to The Daily Mail, the West London club have agreed a £40million-a-year deal with US technology company Infinite Athlete which will see their shirts emblazoned with the tech company’s logo.
      Chelsea unveiled their new shirt without a sponsor – but fans are not able to purchase the kit until its official launch on August 16Credit: instagram @chelseafc
      Infinite Athlete was founded last month after being acquired by Tempus ex Machina, who also signed a deal with Chelsea in April.
      The company is an AI statistics provider, and works with broadcasters and streaming services with live information on player statistics and injuries.
      Chelsea have used Tempus Ex Machina’s technology on their broadcasts since April, with the service allowing viewers to track things like live updates on player fatigue and injuries.
      The £40m-a-year deal matches that of previous front of shirt sponsor 3, who sponsored the club for three campaigns beginning in the 2020-21 season.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      The deal expired this summer, with both sides failing to come to an agreement on a renewal.
      Chelsea’s new sponsorship comes after their protracted search for a sponsor saw the club forced to unveil a sponsorless version of their 2023-24 home shirt ahead of the upcoming season.
      Ahead of the kit’s launch, the club had seen talks with gambling company Stake and streaming platform Paramount+ fall through.
      That meant that while the shirt was unveiled early last month, the shirt has been unavailable for fans to buy.
      Most read in Football
      The shirt is set to be released for fans to buy on August 16 and will feature the name and logo of Infinite Athlete so long as the sponsorship is approved by the Premier League.
      Chelsea fans have become accustomed to seeing the sponsorless version of their new shirt, with Chelsea wearing the stripped-back version of the kit throughout their pre-season tour of the US.
      But according to The Daily Mail, Chelsea’s shirts will include their new sponsor in their Premier League match against Liverpool on Sunday as long as the deal is rubber stamped by the Prem.

      The news will represent a much needed boost for Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, who risked the embarrassment of seeing his club become the first top six side to enter a Premier League campaign without a sponsor.
      The additional investment will also be welcome given Chelsea are facing a massive fine and possible points deduction after a Premier League investigation into the club found financial irregularities dating back to the Roman Abramovich era.
      The investigation found that the club had made possible illegal payments to offshore companies that were not registered with the Premier League, the FA or Uefa.
      Chelsea will have to kick off the Premier League season on Sunday without new-signing Christopher Nkunku after the forward sustained a knee injury in the club’s final pre-season friendly.
      The Frenchman looked set to play a massive part in the club’s new Mauricio Pochettino-era after impressing in pre-season but is set to miss the first three months of the campaign. More

      Man Utd fans concerned about ‘Liverpool vibes’ as Red Devils release ‘weird’ third kit with new look badge

      It also features a minimalist take on the United badge.
      While the shirt was generally well received, some on Twitter feel it is too similar to Liverpool kits of old.
      A United Twitter account posted the new shirt and asked fans to rate the kit out of ten.
      One United fan replied: “One.. Liverpool vibes.”

      Another wrote: “Feels like we’ve literally just copied one of the past season Liverpool kits but made it a little different?”
      And a third conflicted fan tweeted: “I’m not really sure about this one, I don’t like it but I’d very much get it. It just feels weird.”
      Liverpool have had at least one white away or third kit every year since 2019 and had a similar off-white away shirt during the 2021-22 season.
      United said in a press release that the shirt is inspired by the “1909 Cup jersey and street style trends”.
      Most read in Football
      It was unveiled with a video that featured a giant version of Casemiro hovering over Old Trafford and Roy Keane leering at a silver platter of prawn sandwiches.
      The third shirt has been generally well received despite the Liverpool concerns with one fan tweeting:  “This jersey is the best Man U has revealed in a long time.”
      Another wrote: “Brother, this kit is an 11/10”
      While a third added: “Best 2nd or 3rd kit in a long long time”
      The third shirt is a more conservative effort compared to United’s away shirt this season.
      The club’s green white and red striped shirt was branded “atrocious” by some sections of the United faithful on its release.
      Whether it will go on to become a cult classic remains to be seen. More

      Barcelona break club protocol lasting 45 years with release of new away kit.. with special nod to legendary ex-player

      by

      BARCELONA have broken 45 years of protocol by releasing a WHITE away kit for their 2023-24 season.The Catalan club typically stay clear of the colour scheme given its association with fierce rivals Real Madrid.

      But there is a good reason behind this season’s white away strip.
      The kit is inspired by Barca legend Johan Cruyff, who captained the team the last time the team donned a white away kit.
      The shirt features a classic white design with red and blue stripes on the cuffs which mimic the captain’s armband Cruyff wore in the late 70s.
      The club wrote on their website: “Barcelona introduces their second kit for the 2023/24 season, which has an innovative design that pays tribute to the man who developed Barca’s playing style, Johan Cruyff.”
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The statement continues: “This isn’t the first time Barca has used the colour for their kits. Players like Alcántara, Samitier, César and Kubala, among others, already wore a white jersey between the 1920s and 1970s.
      “When it comes to Cruyff – who developed a new brand of playing style for FC Barcelona – he also wore white on several occasions, like on 1 March 1978 during a UEFA Cup game against Aston Villa, when he captained and led the team.”
      Barcelona have resisted the urge to go back to their white away kit origins over the years – so as not to anger fans that believe it to be the colour of Real Madrid.
      Instead they have favoured yellow, orange, grey and blue away kits in recent seasons.

      Barcelona announced the new kit with a tongue in cheek video on Twitter that featured President Joan Laporta opening a cardboard box with “It’s just a box” written on it.
      Laporta has a surprised reaction when he pulls the shirt out of it which likely reflects what many supporters felt when the club unveiled a kit in the colour of their rivals.
      But social media reaction to the kit was generally positive.
      One fan tweeted a picture of Cruyff in the 70s kit with a number of love heart emojis as caption – clearly appreciating the throwback vibe of the kit.
      Another fan replied: “Love it.”
      A third fan replied “We wear white better” – in reference to rivals Real Madrid.
      Barcelona will be hoping the kit is a good luck charm as they look to retain the LaLiga title and also return to Champions League action in the 2023-24 season. More
