My Eyes Have Seen – Er?
Jun 5th, 2007 by 'holic
I’m indebted to Davey for this image which appears to confirm the ‘white kit’ rumours.
What on earth it has to do with Herbert Chapman, other than a tenuous link to the sock design, I do not know.
So, has anybody changed their mind about it?

Im not totally against and neither with, i just feel its not a big deal if its going to be used in about 6 to 7 games, in just the one season. Its a change for once, from what we’ve been used to…Red, Yelloow and Blue.
Can we have a gold kit?
Thanks abdleb, and good question rawr. I am of an age where I can remember us wearing white. We wore it on the first ever Match of the Day at Anfield. Typically, when we wore white in those days, we lost! I’ll quote my father, now 85, who recalls fondly the first time we wore yellow/gold, when we beat Liverpool in the 1950 Cup Final. ‘We always thought the yellow was lucky for us’. Yellow shirts didn’t reappear until 1968-69. Funnily enough my first Wembley visit for an Arsenal triumph was the 1971 win against Liverpool in…you guessed it….yellow. In fairness we have suffered some painful defeats in yellow as well. Good job most of you weren’t around in 1967-68 when we wore navy shirts and socks with a white trim, the same as….you’ve guessed it! Put up with it for a year, don’t buy it, and we’ll be back in yellow in 2008-09.
I would also like to apologise to anyone around late morning when the links section went pear-shaped. I reloaded everything manually and it appears to be ok again. Must have been a white shirt lover sabotaging me!
And…if anybody from the Arsenal Finland Supporters Club Site is reading, it looks like the link to the English version of your site is not working. Can you let me know if this is now out of date. Thanks.
I like the new kit. I think it’s attractive. I especially like the socks, it reminds me of the home kit in Bergkamp’s early days…
going against the grain, i quite like it. And if it annoys spurs then all the better. Won’t be buying it though.
