Arsenal 2021/22 leaked away kit first glimpse is just divine

Matters on the pitch, and those off it fairness, haven’t been worth shouting about for Arsenal. Yet, amid all the disappointment, adidas continue to delight with some glorious attire to get our teeth sunk into.

Signing a kit deal with German sportswear giant adidas back in July 2019, the club moved away from some of the ghastly Puma strips during the Emirates era, kicking off with an excellent debut in the 2019/20 season.

Performances on the pitch didn’t match the jerseys. The same can be said for this year, where the home strip drew widespread acclaim and forced already damaged wallets to weep once more.

Arsenal have had some classic kits over the years and have generally been consistently appealing, but the change of crest in 2002 remains majorly disliked by most of the fanbase. Criticised for being ‘cartoony’, it’s been in place for coming on 19 years now. Based off of the latest leaks for the 2021/22 season, it is getting a rest.

Arsenal 2021/22 away kits leaks merged into mock-up drawing that is quite superb

The ever-reliable Footy Headlines are the best source for leaked football kits, and based of off a variety of rumours, a mock-up look at the away strip for next season has been drawn up. Utilising all the leaked information, one famous kit creator has produced a strip listed with ‘40%’ accuracy.

While there are plenty of speculative points in the latest design, what is certain is that the current crest will make way for the famous cannon, similar to the one featured in the away kits from the late 60s into the 70s. Iconic images of lifting the FA Cup in 1971 spring to mind. That Charlie George winner against Liverpool lives long in the memory.

Also certain is that the kit will feature a crew collar, while the blue sleeves could easily be fully yellow like the rest of the strip in a full nod to the jerseys of years gone by. Despite being listed as ‘40%’ accurate, the official and final design is thought to be fairly similar to mock-ups.

A return to the old cannon. The classic yellow. It’s a divine looking kit. If only there was the football to match.
