Arsenal 2008/09 Shirt - Rumours Aside.

Posted on May 7th, 2008 in Arsenal by Holycrail

Hi, Just to clarify… all of the rumours on all the different website pages aside now… This really is the official Arsenal Home shirt for the 2008/09 season. None of this, ooo it could be, might be malarky. this is it. Not too sure on the away shirt yet, but this is it.

  2. steve said,

    this shirt looks just like they had in 2000 and 2001 season

  3. Jim Jones said,

    Fly Emirates isn’t even printed straight on the front. FAKE.

  4. Raj said,

    Does Anyone Know When This Will Go On Sale…Or Even Appear On The Arsenal Site?

  5. nin said,

    damn, is that it?
    pretty dissapointing, o well dont think i will buy that, will have to be the away kit for me, love the yellow.

  6. Ryz said,

    It is that kit ive seen it loads, but whats with the blue not a nice shirt, non of the arsenal 3 are MINGIN!

  7. soorbob said,

    youre right, jim and the nike is lower than the arsenal badge. that particular shirt in the pic IS fake but its probably the same design as the real one

  8. Augustus said,

    I hope that is a fake because it’s bloody awful. Shouldn’t clubs be trying to safeguard their traditions?

  9. Valentino Smith said,

    Heyyyyyyyyyyy it’s me V to the A to the L thats who! Does Anyone Know When This Will Go On Sale…Or Even Appear On The Arsenal Site?

  10. Valentino Smith said,

    This shirt is fantasticly awful! Boy better knowwwww, I’ll be buying it with Hanzzzzzz on the back, Jahr!

  11. Paul said,

    Shirt goes on sale 1st week in July.

  12. seegdf said,

    I love this shirt!!!!

  13. arsenal fan said,

    this is fake
    the fly emirates is all wonky to on side
    the premiership sighn is all like cut and but there
    and so is th arsenal badge

  14. the truth said,

    Just check out the nike logo and you will see how real it is lol

  15. Gunner said,

    How many time does it have to be said. THIS IS NOT THE REAL TOP, IT IS JUST WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE! Therefore it is a fake of the real thing most likely. Hope that is understandable.

  16. bob said,

    This is so obviously photoshopped that it is not even funny. Look at the pixels around the Nike logo, Arsenal logo, Fly Emirates logo, and the printing on the back. What a lame attempt at photoshopping this jersey. Lame, lame, lame. Please do not waste our time with these lame photoshop attempts again.

  17. D King said,

    If this is the new Arsenal shirt then fans should boycott it. The shirt is both ugly and disrespectful to tradition. An Arsenal shirt must white sleeves. At least the redcurrant shirt had some history and was awesome.

  18. HLEB MUST GO said,

    No jock tags on real Nike kits for some time now. It’s all ****, George.

  19. Gunner for Life said,

    This shirt is fake for quite a few reasons,

    1- The size of the crest is smaller than the standard one
    2- Nike logo isn’t at right place
    3- Fly Emirates is not in the middle of the shirt
    4- There is ‘Gunners’ printed on the back of the collar (A huge club like Arsenal would never put the club’s ‘nickname’ on their shirts).

    I’d rather wait for the real one when it appears on Arsenal’s website…

  20. corgi74 said,

    Didn’t they have “The Gunners” on the back of one of the early nike shirts?

  21. corgi74 said,

    Just checked 96-98 shirt did. 94-96 had Arsenal on the back.

  22. Ben said,

    I don’t think this pic is real. I reckon this will probably be our shirt. I’m hoping not though. I want something different that I wouldn’t expect. I could design this shirt on pro evolution for f**k sake.

  23. elbazo said,

    the number 4 on the back looks dodgey

  24. Rossco81 said,

    This doesn’t even look like an Arsenal top. If I was a Gooner I’d be sorely disappointed with it.

  25. Sambo said,

    Mr. ‘Gunner for life”

    They had ‘Gunners’ written on their shirt years ago you twat!

  26. Holycrail said,

    Ok, i started this forum… and as an Arsenal season ticket holder, i take it I’m still the only person that thinks this shirt is not at all bad???? I mean christ, how many ways can you actually rework a shirt thats must distinctly have red breast and white sleeves!!!

    I’m a fan. SOLD.

  27. scone said,

    dissapointing kit

  28. statto74 said,

    A 2nd rate shirt - An ideal match for a 2nd rate club!

  29. poly said,

    Its a pleasant shirt, would be really good for Charlton, Man Utd, Forrest, Liverpool, Middlesbro or any other team that plays in red shirts, but Arsenal play in white sleeves. They should have only slightly chnaged the current kit, which in my opinion is virtually perfect - they could have changed the gold strips to redcurrent and prehaps altered the collar (or just stuck with the same shirt).

  30. WHAT HAVE NIKE DONE said,

    ANYONE REMEMBER WHEN NIKE HAD THE LOGO AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF KITS FOR TOTAL 90 A COUPLE OF YEAR AGO. THEY WERE GOOD KIT DESIGNS. EVERYTHING THEYVE DONE SINCE THEN IS ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. statto74 said,

    Just been playing around with a few photos taken from legitimate kit releases and on every one the pixels around detail such as badges and sponsors logos are fuzzy as described above.

  32. m said,

    it looks more like a training top…a rubbish one at that.

  33. spurs rule said,

    i dont mind the shirt at all………..but it does look a bit old fashion.

    spurs rule

  34. 100% arsenal fan said,

    it is a really nice shirt and as soon as it comes out im getting it

  35. karl81 said,

    nice shirt but so much for 2 season policy as far as the away 1 goes that is if there is going to be a new away 1

  36. Baggie Boyd said,

    iv saw this design a few times now and 2bh i fink its a smart kit maybe it does luk a bit old fashioned but oh well the oldies or the best lol

  37. Michael said,

    Correct me if im mistaken but the fact that it says “MUFC” on the bottom left of the top is a big give-away. Yes?? No?? lol

  38. melz said,

    It looks egzactly like da 00/01 kit but with fly emirates stuck on it

  39. TCozee said,

    Oh Jeeeuzus. Everybody who says this i s a fake? It may not be an official image, but it seems to be the the gist of all the designs up to now.
    “What’s with the blue”
    Arsenal have had a bit of blue on their shirts since the late 80’s….dunno before that, and MUFC on the bottom left? It’s NikeFIT you twerp (hm, an underused word)
    It’s alright actually, and i’m a Man U fan.

  40. TCozee said,

    And another thing! Any proper club wouldn’t have their nickname on it? Most present nike kits have som sort of reference to fan culture or club culture, Man u have the red devil on the back, Barcelona have ‘Mes Que Un Club’ inside the collar, Valencia have a bat, Portugal have the cross from the Bage/national flag on the back…..even the new Adidas kits have it now, Liverpool have the red and white check, Schalke have some slogan inside the collar as well.
    Anyway, arsenal had Gunners on the shirt a while back as someone has already pointed out.

  41. meeks said,

    nice…but it nots real, the sleeves should be plain white!! and the trim shudnt be redcurrant
    they sjhould be blue and yellow, like tht away kit we had in 2004/05

  42. DHanley-1 said,

    Oan the sleaves there is an old premiership bagde
    Defo Fakeeeee !

  43. DHanley-1 said,

    Badge *

  44. Ashley Morton said,

    This is definately a fake shirt, but I’m pretty certain this will be our home kit. Fake things:
    - The blue on the edges of the badge doesn’t get thinner at the bottom on this one, but does on the real badge.
    - The overall shape of the badge doesn’t look right. It looks too wide and rounded.
    - The nike logo is obviously fake.
    - ‘Fly Emirates’ is way off to one side.

    Why is everyone moaning about the sleeves not being white? They will look white most of the time as the players will have their arms down. Our shirt for the 04-05 season had half white, half red sleeves, as did the JVC shirt for 94-96. I really like this top and will definately buy it. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s a v-neck.

  45. decca said,

    very unimaginative, uninspired shirt IMO… hope this is the best Nike has to offer AFC

  46. hannibal said,

    this is turkish qality

  47. Love it! said,

    I love it! it is a great kind of different arsenal shirt

  48. JamesiieBoii said,

    I have always liked Arsenal home shirts;; however i think that this is really horrible ((sorry if i have offended any arsenal fans))

    The whole design just isn’t right to mee this looks ****;;

    I think he Birmingham City shirt tops them all

  49. dai said,

    very very bad

  50. Van Perry said,

    Its not bad. I prefer white sleves and a bit more gold incorporated, but I’ll buy an arsenal shirt every season, doesnt matter what it looks like.

  51. Buko said,

    Im an Arsenal fan and i think its wicked, i think we are going back to the ‘Dreamcast’ shirt with the white parts but overall ok

  52. goonersauras said,

    bit of a disapointment really looks very simillar to one ive already got thats been put in a drawer for years.why not just keep the one weve got now but without the gold stripes and maybe a collar. and why cant we keep to a white away shirt it looks smart and looks good in the crowd as red and white. weve had our fill of dogdy shirts.

  53. jezza said,

    great shirt

  54. pegooner said,

    Not liking this shirt looks like a ******* rugby shirt. White sleeves needed!

  55. yun_da_t said,

    hannibal,

    this is turkish quality.

    What’s that supposed to mean?

    It’s more Thailand fake, the Nike tick is wrong and definitley fake and Fly Emirates logo is waaaay too over to the right.

    It’s fake this one, the real one doesn’t have that crappy square stiching thing on the bottom left hand side.

  56. Gaz said,

    This jersey goes on sale on the 3rd of July….the away one is on sale on August 1st !

    Michael…Correct me if im mistaken but the fact that it says “MUFC” on the bottom left of the top is a big give-away. Yes?? No?? lol…..

    it actually says NikeFIT on the bottom left of the shirt

  57. sdhjzsdgfsd said,

    arsenal r sponsered by ferrari this year

  58. Ahmed said,

    First of all this one is a fake but the real one will be similar. Second of all, go to google images and type in “arsenal 08/09 kit” and go to the second page and there is a picture of walcott (obviously computer done) wearing it. You’ll notice its not that bad actually.

  59. SEppI said,

    Looks like the kit of 1988 and 89 in wich they won the premier league.

  60. abdullah said,

    lots of pictures af arsenal new home 08/09 kit and lots of details

  61. AFC said,

    I think its a great shirt pity about the sleeves, but in that picture with Walcott wearing it, it looks preety good, can’t wait to buy

    The away kit is **** though, I don’t know why apart from tradition we don’t stick with the white away, it looks good next to the red home shirt.
