Arsenal faced online ridicule after the leaked images of their kit for the upcoming season surfaced, with fans pointing out an unfortunate resemblance to a bottle in the design. The leaked kit, featuring a red shirt against white, led fans to humorously associate the red part with a bottle outline.
The timing of the leak was particularly bad for Arsenal, coinciding with a challenging period in their season. Recent setbacks included a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich, a surprise 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa, and a 1-0 loss to Bayern in the Champions League. These results saw Arsenal lose their lead in the title race, falling two points behind Manchester City. While some fans found humor in the kit’s design, others expressed disappointment.
However, some fans appreciated the design, calling it one of the club’s finest home jerseys ever. Despite the kit controversy, Arsenal is focused on their upcoming match against Wolves as they aim to regain momentum in the title race. A win would keep them at the top of the table, at least until Manchester City’s match on Thursday.
