Adidas Stops Selling Arsenal’s New Home Kit After Design Blunder
Adidas, the kit manufacturer for Arsenal, has reportedly stopped selling the authentic version of the team’s new home shirt for the next Premier League season. Fans spotted an error in the design, which led to the kit’s removal from both Adidas and Arsenal’s websites. The new shirt was set to pay homage to the Invincibles from the Premier League 2003-04 campaign, with stitching on the white trim on the side displaying the record of 26 wins and 12 draws. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that only 32 of the 38 league results were featured on the shirt, with the last four games of the season missing.
Design Error in Arsenal’s New Home Shirt
The error in the design of Arsenal’s new home shirt has caused disappointment among fans who were eagerly waiting to purchase it. The shirt was released in May and was designed to commemorate the team’s achievement of winning the league title without losing a single league game in 2003-04. The shirt was supposed to have stitching on the white trim on the side displaying all 38 league results in the order of each result. However, only 32 of the 38 league results were featured on the shirt, with the last four games of the season missing.
Adidas and Arsenal Remove Authentic Version of New Home Shirt
After fans spotted the error in the design of Arsenal’s new home shirt, Adidas and Arsenal removed the authentic version of the shirt from their websites. On Arsenal’s website, the item appears to say that stock is “coming soon,” while on Adidas’ site, there is only the option to buy the standard version and not the authentic one. Arsenal confirmed a design error with the shirt as they reached out to fans waiting for their new shirts. In an email seen by SunSport, the club wrote: “We’ve become aware of a design error with the current 23/24 Authentic Home Shirt. Consequently, we’re unfortunately unable to fulfill your order at this time.”
Adidas Yet to Comment on the Design Error
SunSport has contacted Adidas for comment on the design error in Arsenal’s new home shirt, but the company is yet to respond. The error has caused disappointment among fans who were eagerly waiting to purchase the authentic version of the shirt. However, some fans have suggested that the “32 fixture” shirt will be a rarity and collectible if Adidas reproduces the shirt to show all 38 league results.
