Aresenal certainly know how to launch a kit. While some clubs struggle for inspiration, the Gunners had legendary striker Thierry Henry to compere proceedings, with world renowned DJ – and Arsenal fan – Gilles Peterson on the turntables.

That’s not to mention the lasers, pyrotechnics, special effects and the five first team players on hand to entertain the thousand or so fans who turned up to get a glimpse of next season’s strip.
After all of that excitement the new kit had quite a lot to live up to and the response was generally positive.
The 2015-16 offering is the second of their partnership with PUMA and sees a few changes from last season’s debut.

The shirt features a grandad collar and gold piping trim around the collar edge and the colour stays true to the Gunners’ classic red and white strip that first appeared in 1933.
The main body is red to represent the tradition of Gunners and Gooners through the years, with bold jacquard stripes running horizontally.
The white sleeves feature PUMA’s classic Form Strip, elegantly highlighted with red piping and combined with mesh inserts for breathability.
We rate it: 7 out of 10: The collar will divide opinion but on the whole a nice traditional effort.
Where to Buy: Leading sport stores.
Price: TBC, estimated Dh400
