2. Arsenal

The Gunners’ two kits are some of Puma’s best designs, which is saying a lot considering the quality the brand brings on a yearly basis. The home kit is, of course, red and white, but this time it features an upwards-facing arrow that extends to the sleeves of the shirt. It’s a clean design, typical of Puma’s time producing kits for Arsenal. It all makes for a really inventive and creative take on the usual Arsenal kit.

The away kit is essentially the same with dark blue and a purplish-red color for the accents. Both of Arsenal’s kits complement each other, something you don’t see as much of anymore. Clubs will often opt for an away kit that is a complete departure from the home kit, and while that can work, it’s nice to see a team keeping everything similar.

Last season was a tale of two teams for Arsenal. At home, they looked like legitimate title contenders, winning 15 of 19. Away from the Emirates though, it was a different story. The Gunners lost 11 of their 19 games away from home. This all lead to both a sixth-place finish and a trophyless season that saw the end of Arsene Wenger’s tenure at the club.

New manager Unai Emery will have large shoes to fill, and he’ll have to manage Arsenal in the league as well as in the Europa League this season. His team can try to reach their past glory in these great new kits.
