From instant classics to fashion fails, here’s what our writers make of top-flight clubs’ strips for the new season
Supposedly the new Arsenal away kit is inspired by “1920s African Art”. The black shirts have red and green stripes in addition to some zigzag patterns to jazz things up and avoid it looking like a funeral outfit.
The blue has been softened, looking almost white, as they honour their 150th anniversary, although it also moves the club into a new era with a badge redesign. Latin phrases are out with the lion emblem above the words “Aston Villa”, in a shield form rather than a circle, meant to make it more marketable.
The Nottingham Forest home kit is a perfect blend of contradictions. The club are describing it as a “representation of the next chapter of Nottingham Forest” but instead of a reflection of the future, it honours the past. The traditional red is used once again but the pattern displays darker red stars to call back to the club’s back-to-back European Cup wins in 1979 and 1980.
The red and white stripes include camouflage detailing, an element definitely not included on the away kit which sticks out like a sore thumb. The lemon colour includes a striped pattern and the club will look to leave a sour taste for their opponents, albeit not from the questionable design choice but with results.Tottenham may be the club everyone likes to hate but their home kit will draw no mocking from opposition fans.
