Arsenal Away Shirt for 2011-12 Season: New Photos Leaked

arsenal away shirt 11 Arsenal Away Shirt for 2011 12 Season: New Photos Leaked

New photos have been leaked on the Internet showing Arsenal’s away shirt for the 2011-12 Premier League season.

Designed by Nike, the photo reveals an Arsenal away shirt that is dark blue and cyan blue. With a diagonal design on the short, the upper half is dark blue, while the lower half is cyan blue. One sleeve is dark blue, while the other one is cyan blue. The back, meanwhile, is dark blue.

Arsenal’s crest to celebrate its 125th year anniversary is in reverse type to make it stand out from the dark background.

    I personally do not like it…I know that the blue kits generally sell better, but I have always been a fan of the yellow ones. There’s always next season (haha there has to be some sort of joke on Arsenal in that statement…)

      I’m with Jontron 100% – yellow colour is so much more distinctive, and next season will surely arrive …..

      I don’t think they have ‘traditional’ away colors…recently they’ve switched every year (or two) between a blue and yellow kit.

          Arsenal’s history of away shirts from 1895 to current has been a hodgepodge of different colors – mostly white, yellow or blue. Take a look to see the full history at http://historicalkits.co.uk/Arsenal/Arsenal-change-kits.html

    didn’t like this design when the first leaked photos came out, but I have to say now I think once it’s seen on the pitch I think it will look great. every year when a new kit comes out and it looks ugly it seems that most of them eventually look great on the pitch, i.e. United white away kit last year.

    Unfortunately, on the pitch appearance does not equal me purchasing one as I don’t think it will look good to just wear.

      Well put. I’d also add that seeing the shorts/socks that will go with it will be important . Those navy away shirts with the collar they wore a couple years ago were atrocious.

    I dont have a problem with the look, but at least have the badge in RED. Red is Arsenal’s traditional color and the badge should reflect that. This football industry of sponsors, board members, and owners seem to be getting more and more out of touch with the true fans. They get to control how the jersey looks, how much to pay for ticket prices. As an Arsenal fan living in the States, I was upset to hear that they’ve increased the prices of season ticket holders after 6 years of winning nothing and I get to watch them for just $13 a month on FSC. The first priority should always be the local fans supporting that club, not global fans.

    too many gooners need to have a look at the Arsenal history of away shirts. Yellow was not our away colour until 1950s. This is a very classy design and colour combination. Spot on for a change now get the player to wear it.

    Too bad, as it will still clash with Barca colours when we play them at Camp Nou next season. Err… And don’t get me wrong, but isn’t it a regular fixture to play vs. Barca every year? May be we will reserve our banana colours for that certain fixture.

    hated it when the first leak came out but now that i see the formal design it’s not bad and will probably grow on me as the season progresses. as someone said earlier it wasn’t until the 50′s that we started having yellow as our main away color. the long sleeve of this will look even cooler as i have personally always been a fan of different color sleeves and we’ll be the only major club to do so. let’s not complain too much lads it’s not like the kit wins the trophies.

    It’s an old Wycombe Wanderers kit.

    Or is it to appeal simultaneously to both Oxford and Cambridge graduates, as they at least may potentially earn enough to buy season tickets at the new inflated prices.

    I’m in love with it – Best kit we’ve had since my 23 yrs as a gooner.

    Why is everyone moaning about the style? Why do you all want a Retro old school yellow kit?
    Time moves on, designs change, and Arsenal move ‘forward’.

    Also, why moan about the colour? Arsenal have had many blue shirts over the years. If you don’t like it, keep quiet and don’t buy it.

    This is ridiculous jersey. This jersey is good for a black skin other than white. This will make it very diffecult to identify a player in this kind of color. Now what is going to be the color of the letters to be used for writting names of players and their numbers if I may ask? I guess is going to be black. So try to judge what am trying to talk about.

    Anyone who ever saw the 1991-1993 away kit cannot possibly call this the worst of all time! That kit looked like the bottom of the trench under the latrines at Glasto the year they used yellow bog roll! Seriously, the only thing that made it worse was that it replaced the 1988-1991 shirt which was the yellow body with blue sleeves and second only to the iconic 1970’2 Charlie george falling down at Wembley shirt. Interestingly kits didn’t used to change that often, between 1969 and 1981 our first team strip only changed to the extent that Unbro added a logo or two in 1978. In fact they probably used the same kit season after season literally, I remember an advert for washing powder featuring the Highbury washer wench applauding the products ability to wash reds and whites in the same load without ending up with pink sleeves or still dirty kit. I doubt todays prima donnas where the same shirt twice… imagine trying to get the “Vicks” stain out on a low temperature? For the record this kit’s okay, better than last years rgubarb and custard effort, but the diagonal is too fussy in my view, I like it simple. Bring back the iconic 1970-71 home and away kits, get a sponsor with a cool logo and return to the lonely cannon badge without those damned wings. Okay I’m dreaming!
