The announcement of a new kit is indeed a very exciting day, most fans who eagerly wait for Tennerhooks to take a look at how their team will turn out next season, but one supporter apparently could not wait any longer.
With the 2024-25 season after an end, we are approaching the point in the season in which half of the competition starts to wear at least a different kit than the one in which they started the campaign.
It is a time that is normally preached by countless 'leaked' versions of livers, more than half of which tend to be completely inaccurate, because expectations begin to build up.
In recent years there has also been more attention for new kits, with the rise of shirts, both retro and current and a large part of the British streetwear culture.
Perhaps that is the reason why a fan, more enthusiastic than most to catch a glimpse of the new kit of Arsenal, decided to climb into the air openings of the club to take a picture of their 2025-26 shirt.
A photo that is placed on social media seems to be taken by pipe work from a high up -looking point and contains defender William Saliba Posen for the camera in a new sweater.
One Gunners Fan account, who posted the photo on Wednesday evening, claimed: “A curious Arsenal fan climbed in the air ventilation openings to leak the new kit of Arsenal,” with a smiling emoji.
The club's kit for the coming season was confirmed later on Thursday morning, hoping that this is the shirt where they will finally see their side lifting the Premier League trophy.
The new kit removes the flashes of blue that could be seen along the sides of the sweater of 2024-25 and replaced the blue stripes on the shoulders with red.
The red body of the shirt also has an extra detail with a stylized 'a' stitched in red with weak black sketchy, while the red socks now have three white stripes by the knee.
Instead of the iconic cannon on the left side of the breast, the badge of the club returns, and the trim around the neckline has been widened in white as the other remarkable change compared to the current season.
In addition, where the blue along the sides on the shorts continues and broadens at the base, there seem to be red stripes in place.
Over the past three years, the North -London outfit has been bridesmaids for the wedding parties of Manchester City and Liverpool, and they still have to win a trophy since 2020 despite their enormous improvement under Mikel Arteta.
This season comes as a special disappointment for how far on drift from Arne Slot's Liverpool -they have fallen, as well as weak outputs of both domestic cups.
The Champions League gave fans more hope, especially the victory over Real Madrid who will live for a long time in Arsenal Lore, but the defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final brought the fairy tale to a sober end.
Arsenal is now confronted with a fight to hold second place, which means that the risk of finishing third in a race with two horses, but the victory over Newcastle in their next game should attach anything but the silver medal.
