New Yellow Arsenal Away Shirt 08/09

Posted on July 3rd, 2008 in Arsenal by andrewtaylor

The new Arsenal away strip is again made by Nike and sponsored by Fly Emirates who also sponsor the Gunners stadium.

The shirt harps back to the glory days of the late 80’s where the shirts are yellow with navy sleeves and a red trim. The club badge appears on the left breast with Nike ‘swoosh’ on the right. The shorts are navy with red trim and the socks are yellow and blue.

  4. jake said,

    when i first saw the leaked photos of the top i didnt like it, but now seeing the whole it it looks amazing.

  5. sparkysox said,

    not a chance sav!!! you have had to get merson, bould and smith back to reach your 5 english player quota!!!
    Manchester United for the prem again and again……….

  6. Rob said,

    Yeah I agree with Jake, it looks a lot better than the leaked pictures, but I’m still not keen on the red strips down the sleeves. It would have looked great if they had done away with the stripes & just had a red cuff like the bottom of the shorts.

  7. BomTrett said,

    It looks awful. It’s like the same as the manky one they had 10 years ago and that was bad enough, but i hate the sleeves and RED FONT ON THE BACK??! It’s looks bad.

  8. O Si Como No said,

    Love it. Good to see Arsenal in yellow again.

  9. Paul Griffiths said,

    It looks bloody glorious! - whats wrong with some of you. It’s retro mixed with modern and it works well.

  10. bob said,

    It’ll have to grow on me…and I know it will.

  11. msuits70 said,

    Will sell will in Mexico City. Club America, anyone?

  12. newcastle utd Gavin McElroy said,

    i think its nice

  13. GoonerPete said,

    Isn’t it more like the kit from 20 years ago rather than 10? And isn’t that the point?

    And Mickey T makes the 5 Englishmen!!

  14. Wastoid said,

    That kit is ugly with a capital U.

  15. BUKO said,

    im a massive arsenal fan and i have just gone out and bought the home shirt and im looking forward to buying the away kit. it brings back memories of the kit which we won the title on the last day of the season at anfield back in ‘89

  16. Alexandre said,

    What Arsenal needs to improve their kits are the golden premiership badges, the rest doesn’t matter.

  17. Robert Patrick, Actor said,

    Cant’ say I like the red stripe on the blue sleeves. Nor do I like the red numbers on back. Technicolor overlooooooooooad!!!

  18. seegdf said,

    When i first saw this shirt i hated it!
    now seing the whole kit and stuff i think its bloody glorious!

  19. tymanko said,

    its a nice kit reminds me of the 00/01 dreamcast and saga kit

    its nice though not to overpowering a good premiership champions kit.

    Gooner all the way

  20. prabh said,

    nice we will win the title this year come on gunners!

  21. BomTrett said,

    Well, you did have one 10 years ago, the JVC one, and that was bad enough. And theo walcott is there, but seriously, you need some english players!

  22. Paul said,

    That is a nasty kit but it’s nice to see ARSEnal’s half time talks are so relexed, no wonder they lost the league.

  23. Oli said,

    Brilliant kit, and a brilliant picture as well. Really pleased with this kit.

  24. tony said,

    awesome kit. paul your a moron learn to spell you ****

  25. Ahmed said,

    It looks much better in this pic!!! I already got the home one and i can’t wait to get my hands on this one!

  26. moraf said,

    all you arsenal haters stay away already. I think this is probably going to be the best away jersey in the league this year and we`ll probably be wearing this when we parade the championship trophy…UP THE GUNNERS!!!!!!!

  27. miguel said,

  42. Breno said,

    Horrible shirt

  43. peter james said,

    i like it, it looks good as a hole. this kit is more for the players than for the public to buy i think. i see it as anythings better than that ***** white spurs s**t we had last season. what was that all about. but yea like the kit. not to sure on the numbers tho, on the back?

  44. Bardie said,

    arsenal will win and theys nothing man u can do about it.

  46. ninjagunner said,

    yeah i hated the leaked photo’s but now seeing the whole kit it looks a bit better, the red-numbers kinda saves it.
    Still think a navy blue or white kit would’ve been better.

  47. gerard boyle said,

    best away rig in long time,

  48. Andrei said,

    whats happen guys? this kit sucks, yellow sucks, I prefer the white! arsenal is my team, but I’ll hope them bad luck if they use it

  49. LovelyJubbly said,

    ive read all the responses posted here and i know there are some people that arent arsenal fans but like the kit which means the arsenal kit get respect now its time for the arsenal football team to get respect too.
    i do agree with what Buko says about the kit - i respect you Buko as your a arsenal fan who knows his stuff

  50. Daron said,

    Please do not forget the most important person in the picture Messr Michael Thomas whats wrong with you???

  51. ric said,

    love it, will defo buy it

  52. thegrovegooner said,

    it’s spanking!! i love this shirt sooo much.

  53. GT said,

    Great to see the retro tradition continued.
    2001 saw the 30 year anniversary kit for our first double now 10 years on from THAT night we go back to the kit we won the title in.
    Red stripe… The away kit in 1989 had red pipingn between the sleeves and main body of shirt.
    Its a proper football shirt - no gimmicks or flashiness - its the simple Arsenal tradition (Nike will you **** off with the blue and Yid colour away kits) of yellow and blue.

  54. cigar arsenal said,

    it should not matter what the top looks like if u are an arsenal fan u should like everything about the club.

  55. shaun-g said,

    i love the bit wiv merson doin theos boots lol

    and fairplay to van persie slippin his adidas boots in2 the pic

  56. BomTrett said,

    The championship trophy is the ‘89 one the won (luckily)

  57. brn442 said,

    The 89 away kit was one of the most iconic shirts of the last 30 years. It brought a football empire to its knees up in Anfield that shifted the balance of power of English football forever. Pure class from adidas. This nike version is ok - the red strip is annoying, the neck line could have been given more thought, it nice to see the golden yellow/navy return to the gunners’ kitroom. Rest in peace David Rocastle.
