Blundering Arsenal start to sell new ‘bruised banana’ yellow away kit on official website before it’s even been announced
ARSENAL started selling their new away kit on the club website BEFORE it had been officially announced.
For a period on Sunday, the yellow shirt was available via the Gunners’ shop – it was hastily removed.
It had already been spotted a number of times in shops abroad despite the club hoping to unveil it at 9am on Monday, July 16.
Promotional shots involving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and even Houston Rockets NBA star James Harden have also appeared online.
Along with the “bruised banana” away kit, they are also expected to announce their 2019/20 third kit.
Leaks suggest that will be a dark blue offering with golden trim, much in the style of their new retro-style home shirt.
Gunners fans appear to be divided over the away design with some feeling it doesn’t live up to the widely popular home shirt.
Dave wrote on Twitter: “Personally I think its f*****g awful. The home kit is great, but this…”
Theo gave his take: “Not feeling it, the collar and the sleeve trims are lazy, just reminds me of a training T-shirt.”
Similarly, Munty commented: “Wow another £60 for the greedy yank.”

Those who liked it included Sheila, who wrote online: “Love all three of our new shirts.”
Another Twitter user, Theodore, added: “Hope our away form looks as good.”
MaBinti perhaps summed up the supporters’ with positivity by saying: “Arsenal’s new home and away kits are beautiful. We may not win anything. We may continue to drift into mid table purgatory but I’m going to look amazing in these kits man.”
