It looks as though Arsenal will publicly announce the club’s new kit deal with Puma on Monday with invitations to a ‘special media conference’ dropping in press email inboxes this morning.
The club have thus far stubbornly refused to comment on reports of a new long-term commercial partnership, likely because of contractual responsibilities with current provider Nike, despite images appearing months ago of Thierry Henry and the current squad modelling the new kit and training gear.
The Puma deal, which ends a 20-year relationship with Nike, is understood to be worth £30 million a year over five years and will kick-in at the end of this season.
Last month Arseblog News confirmed details of the new kits revealing our third shirt will involve a blue and lime colour combination.
A few of the leaked images below…
Let’s hope they don’t bring an actual puma to the presser… we have enough problems with injuries as it is.
made me actually lol
Surely with its pace, Puma must be the like for like replacement for Theo?
If he ain’t on youtube, he ain’t worth a single pounce…i mean pence.
Rumors are that they will bring in famous actress Puma Swede to announce the new kit. How this will affect the injury situation is difficult to predict…
Haha, “actress”
I feel cheap knowing exactly who you’re on about.
phnaar phnaar
The boardroom sent back numerous reports of blood-pressure related pains, but, after four hours, no major injuries were sustained
I snorted quite loudly in the office! brilliant comment
Now I have get rid of my Nike gear, it’s not cheap being an arsenal fan 😉
No reason to stop wearing the Nike stuff w/Puma coming on board. 2010/11 shirt is still one of the most beautiful things I own. 🙂
It’s one of the only good shirts Nike made for us in my opinion.
I loved the burgundy in 2007..
Yep, still my favourite shirt, too.
Can’t wait for the Cameroon-esque tank tops
I don’t like the look of that top with the zipper neck that Giroud is wearing in the first pic. If it doesn’t look good on him what chance do the rest of us have. The team are playing that well at the moment they could be wearing red and white potato sacks and i wouldn’t give a shit.
Love the close fitted style of Puma tops, but I’m guessing there are going to be quite a few fans buying several sizes larger.
Hope both the white/yellow splat and the red/purple kits are just training ones
I just don’t think I can stomach this. Arsenal have always been associated with Nike throughout their 100+year history. What am I to do?
haha
Except when they were with Adidas of course.
Clearly, this must be a fake. Where is the 1970 Fairs Cup? 🙂
and umbro… Nike only started in 1994. Who cares, a change is good for everyone.
Or Umbro…
First january signing despite Wenger claiming otherwise?
Ahh…i can look all manly with these tight puma shirts and bring home a few chicks
I don’t think a beer belly has the same effect as a 6 pack, guess most of us our out of luck. 🙁
(on the other hand, Ludivine Sagna pics next year will be out of this world.
our/are apology. Also ) comes at the end obviously.
Who would you let in your house party, the lad with the six pack, or the bloke with a keg?
Depends a lot on if that bloke is Bacary Sagna or not.
You’ll never meet women down on the farm, even if it is free range.
Obviously stomachs like mine weren’t taken into consideration
Nike will be regretting this big time in the future…….ARSENAL ARE BACK and our famous red and white shirts will be shown parading trophies around the world on tv for years to come without the iconic swoosh.
They’ll be fucking kicking themselves !
GOOD….
Yellow splat on white looks horrible. Like a bird having a massive diarrhea on a Tottenham kit
Fantastic
Shorts are pulled up fairly high as well. That is what I like to call “cowell-esque”
Is the splat in the shape of Islington?
Don’t worry, it all looks like training/fan kit. Though, we have had some pretty shit-looking kit down the years…
Could be worse. At least the diarrhea hides the fact it looks like a Tottenham kit.
Improved it in fact. After all, shit = tottenham
Special conference on monday to showcase our new signing, Juan Mata..!!!
Ohh someone please hijack Utd-Mata deal.
Its just WRONG..!!!
They need to rot for another couple of season. Someone stop it plsssss…
You must be seriously deluded if you think Mata can stop the rot at Old Travesty.
Desperation signing there defence has a big hole in it. Don’t see how he solves that problem.
Yes, Moyes really wasn’t thinking clearly there (I know, I’m being redundant again). Mata plays exactly the some role and position as Rooney. He’ll never be able to fit both of them on the pitch at the same time without one or the other’s being in an unfamiliar position.
Maybe it was done with the knowledge that Rooney is leaving at the end of the season?
Thierry does wear his pants awfully high doesnt he, maybe I should do the same?
What the hell is that yellow splat? A map of France?
I thought that when i saw it!
Im going on the treadmill before I buy that
make sure you run on it sometimes too.. that works the best
Bastard….. nearly choked to death…. on tea… Don’t do that again.
Puma Kings – the best boots of all time. Hope some of our boys hit them up next year.
im looking forward to the puma team bringing cesc back
Gross.
Pity, I was hoping the Congolese Sapeurs would be behind the kit design http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-3sVWOxuXc What a press conference that would make!
I think that guy in the picture is Linford Christie
Good times…good times…
Are you sure thats Linford Christie? Cuz I thought I read somewhere on here was Linford Christie…….
In other good news, for the first time we are no longer top of the injury table http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php
Never been a fan of the tight puma jerseys. Doesn’t look for us fans……with pot bellies.
*look good *
Frank Lampard has the same problem.
Elephantitis mate. See: Adebayor and also Gervinho’s forehead
Seeing “1 Champion League final” breaks my heart
How is this one going to help us win the league? Nothing / just Nothing and thanks for wasting our time.
Likewise.
Well, if they give us more money to spend each year, we can get better players and therefor have a higher probability of securing top spot in the PL and CL and FACup and COCup … Time unwasted 🙂
tight jerseys+walcott= people on the other side feeling gale force wind

ugly
let’s hope those are not final
Looks like Thierry spilt food on his shirt…
Ugly as fuck.
I’ll get my coat.
The one with giroud in the catalog isn’t too bad. I mean it’s not the iconic swoosh, with their classy simplistic approach, but hey! Upwards and onwards for the AFC, on and off the pitch. Just a kit people, won’t have anything to do with the performances inside the emirates compound.
That yellow splash consists of tiny pics and signatures of club legends and managers. Not minding also the Highbury emblem in the background of all those historical images
TH14 looks like someone has chundered on him
Is that Linford Chrisite?
Old Joke.
Looks like Thierry had thrown up over his shirt!
Or had a really messy curry.
And I’m not sure about the one Giroud’s wearing either. Red and blue don’t look right.
But hey, it’s been years since I brought a kit/shirt so it’s not like I’ll be spending any money on this one.
P.S who IS that between Sagna and Henry?
Some bloke called Linford Christie
Can he play central defence?
Oh, I thought it was Hingle McCringleberry. Oh well.
Naah, Bill Cosby.
so a war of the brands for the premier league title?
Arsenal-Puma
City-Nike
Chelsea-Adidas
Anything’s fine as long as Puma’s paying loads to fund our spendthrift ways.
Imagine the number of promising teenagers the boss can poach from Ligue 2 with the Puma money!
Imagine how much faster our players will run with puma behind them.
Striped socks??
I’m buying the whole damn kit this time.
Am I the only one thinking that as Thierry’s in the pics, that must mean he’s coming back home to finish his career?
Yes. You’re the only one.
In a management sense, I wouldn’t doubt it
Good to know, thanks.
(I was only joking by the way)
Like a new shirt supplier
The new gold away shirt with puma is the best iv ever seen can’t wait to buy it C’mon ARSENAL
I sur ehope these leaked pics are fakes … the only only that looks okay is Thierry’s home kit. The away kit looks like someone puked on a Tottenham jersey.
*sure hope* … *only one* … two typos in one post, I must be losing my grip.
If you type while jacking off, you are sure to lose your grip
Why does Titi have mustard on his jersey?
Nike will be kicking themselves if Arsene manages to do the zip up on his shiny new Puma coat next season !
Look at the kit deal a none top 4 club such as Liverpool got, why cant we get double the amount?
We are top of the lesgue, on the up and have players like Ozil in our squad our kid deal should be a lot more than 30 million a year.
Yeah just checked Liverpool get 25million so we make 5 million more thats it?
Last time i checked Liverpool aint even a big club anymore..
Last time i checked finally we cant b matched only by clubs with oil rich owners.. we are top of the league and we have players like Ozil yeh we only make a bit more in our kit deal than Liverpool.
What a insult!
yet
Love how Thierry doesn’t even play for us anymore and still models for us. Just shows you what a legend he is !
