Bukayo Saka joined over 300 supporters at the Emirates to reveal the new kit, which is again manufactured by Adidas and sponsored by Emirates.
“We’re in this together,” said Saka. “The support we’ve received this season home and away, from supporters around the world and from colleagues and friends across the Arsenal family has been immense.
“Celebrating this moment together makes us excited to wear this shirt next season. It’s so powerful when we know teammates, supporters and friends are driving us on. We’re stronger when we’re moving forward, together.”
Though fans were not entirely unison in their opinion of the kit, with one writing: "We are not buying." But one did simply add: "Need."
Another, noting the gold, wrote: "New Arsenal kit has gold trim on it. This club does make it easy for people to take the p*** sometimes." Though another countered with: "Masterpiece."
One Arsenal fan was confused with the hate, writing: "Genuinely baffling how some people don’t like it, it’s GORGEOUS." With another saying; "This would have hit different if we won the league mannn."
