Puma are once again behind the design of the kit, introducing a red stripe across the white sleeves as well as a “pulse” pattern on the chest.
Arsenal launched the new look with a promotional video on their official Twitter account accompanied by the hashtag #WeAreTheArsenal. The likes of Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all featured.
This could be the last year Arsenal don a Puma-designed kit, who have designed the club’s shirts since 2014, with the club tipped to seal a new multi-million deal with Adidas for the 2019/20 season onwards. Arsenal’s current £30m-a-year deal with Puma expires next year.
The authentic match worn shirt will cost £100 with the replica available for £55.
Petr Cech will take on the No 1 shirt, with Hector Bellerin and Mohamed Elneny wearing No 2 and No 4 respectively.
Granit Xhaka will also wear his favoured No 34 shirt after wearing No 29 since his arrival at the club in 2016.
Arsenal’s new kit will go on sale from Friday 1 June.
