ARSENAL 15/16 THIRD KIT BY PUMA

PUMA complete their 2015/16 Arsenal replica collection with the new third kit to be worn in away cup matches this season as the Gunners look to retain their FA Cup and make a big impression in the Champions League.

Wrapping up their kit offerings after the Home and Away releases in June and July PUMA reveal a shirt that features a modern interpretation of a classic football sash, a diagonal stripe across the chest and a design not too dissimilar from the current Newcastle away strip. The colour combination sees PUMA opt for White, Victory Gold and Capri Breeze Blue on an overall anthracite base with PUMA’s classic Form Strip as a mesh panel on the sleeves.

The Victory Gold colouring is what ties all three 2015/16 Arsenal jerseys together and is complimented by gold PUMA cat logos and both sleeves as well as an all gold Arsenal logo on the opposite side. A classic V-neck template provides the finishing touches on a shirt that sticks to a similar design as the 2014/15 third jersey.

The new Arsenal 2015/16 3rd Shirt is available at selected online stockists including Pro Soccer SA. What you saying Gooners? Drop your comments below.

ARSENAL AWAY 15/16 BY PUMA

PUMA are certainly making themselves heard with their Arsenal kit launches this season as they followed up their extravagant home shirt reveal by unveiling the club's new away strip during the Gunners' pre-season tour of Singapore.

Putting on a show for their excitable Asian fan-base PUMA launched Arsenal's new away colours with the help of the players who will wear the strip for the first time when they take on a Singapore Select XI tomorrow. The shirt itself is a combination of both Arsenal and PUMA’s heritage, with a design that reinterprets a classic PUMA Football graphic combined with an Art Deco ‘A’ which is inspired by Arsenal’s past. 

Inspired by the double winning gold away strip of 2001/02 where the club picked up the Premier League and FA Cup PUMA dirty up Arsenal's traditional yellow away tones to create a shirt in a deep rich gold with a diamond graphic that repeats across the front and back panels. Combine it with the 2015/16 home shirt and Arsenal have got a couple of smart work uniforms for the upcoming season.

PUMA AND ARSENAL UNVEIL 15/16 HOME KIT

'Powered by the fans', PUMA and Arsenal enter their second season together dressed for the occasion.

A shirt that is always going to be red and white takes to the finer details to offer smart differentiation. A modern approach using the most innovative materials from the house of PUMA, it doesn't hug quite so noticeably tight as the 14/15 kit which has gone down well. Equipped with a 'grandad collar', gold piping lines the shirt and it blends contemporary with traditional approach in fine fashion.

Revolving around the Gunners faithful, the 'Powered by the fans' campaign shows the desire from the club to express just how important the lifeblood of the supporters is. Refreshing. Using the passion from the fans, PUMA have tried to translate this into a wholesome kit and delivered in the process.

Met with a launch like no other; players past and present were on hand to showcase the kit. More to follow on that later as we went behind the scenes.

The 2015/16 Arsenal home kit by PUMA will go on sale, along with a full collection of fan wear from 25th June. You can pre-order it now from various stockists including Pro Soccer SA.

Arsenal to release limited edition shirt to commemorate FA Cup victory

Arsenal are to create a commemorative shirt following their FA Cup win, celebrating the 20-year partnership with Nike that has come to an end this season.

It is is a patchwork of many different Arsenal kits from years gone by, and will be produced after the ending of their nine-year run without silverware.

The Gunners won the FA Cup on Saturday, coming back from two goals down to beat Hull 3-2 in extra-time. 

 

Nike has enjoyed a wonderful partnership with Arsenal Football Club,' said Marc van Pappelendam, the Vice President of Nike UK & Ireland.
'The kits that Nike has produced for the club over the last twenty years tell a story; a timeline of quality that will be remembered for a long time to come.' 

The shirt, which uses the current 2013-14 home kit as its base, incorporates a unique design that is inspired by a selection of iconic Arsenal kits from the past two decades - including the shirt from the 'Invincibles' season, and the red currant shirt that they wore in 2005/06 to bid farewell to Highbury.

A limited amount will also be produced, with individually numbered prints of the shirt being created and sold.

The shirt itself will also be on display at Phenomenal House from May 26-30, then at NikeTown London from May 31, before moving to its permanent home in the Arsenal Football Club Museum from June 30.

Arsenal's partnership with Nike is coming to an end after the club agreed the most lucrative kit contract in British football history with Puma.

They are set to rake in £30million a year over five years from the deal. Topping the £25m deal that Liverpool currently have with the manufacturer Warrior.

Can you spot where each of these kits feature in the new limited edition Arsenal shirt?

Premier League Launches First International Fan Park in SA

The Premier League has teamed up with Barclays to develop the league’s first fan park outside the UK. Johannesburg will host the first Barclays Premier League Live event.

Up to 24,000 fans will be able to watch five live matches broadcast on a 100 metre square screen and meet EPL players at the Zoo Lake Sports Club in Johannesburg over two days – March 29 and 30.

Barclays Premier League Live is billed as “a free interactive experience designed for the entire family to enjoy”. There is capacity for 12,000 supporters each day and admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. The live matches being screened on those two days include Arsenal v Manchester City and Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur.

Premier League CEO Richard Scudamore said: “Barclays Premier League Live is an exciting way to engage with fans around the world.

“What they love is the excitement of the football and the passion of the crowds and we think Barclays Premier League Live will be the next best thing to being at the ground.

“It is very fitting that we are debuting Barclays Premier League Live in South Africa because SuperSport are our longest standing international rights holder and have played a great role in bringing Premier League football to hundreds of millions of supporters right across sub-Saharan Africa.”
 
With every EPL match day broadcast to 212 territories and 804 million homes, the Premier League is said to be the biggest continuous annual global sports event in the world.

 
The Premier League said the new fan park “is all about rewarding those fans and showcasing the passion and excitement of Barclays Premier League matches and grounds”.

Barclays Premier League Live will be an annual event and next season will head to the USA and Asia for the 2015/16 season.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler and ex-Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly will take part in the inaugural event. Mark Fish and Lucas Radebe, who along with Phil Masinga were the first South Africans to play in the Premier League, are also participating.

 
Steven Pienaar, the South African who plays for Everton, said the Barclays Premier League Live will be a big hit.

“South African fans are very passionate about their football and this is a great way for them to watch the Premier League. I am sure the people will embrace it and it will be another special sporting occasion in my country,” he said.

In Johannesburg, a number of zones are being set up to bring the Premier League competition to life:

• The Trophy Zone – fans can get up close with the Barclays Premier League Trophy.

• The Club Zone – supporters will be able to learn more about the 20 league clubs, and through green screen technology, will be able to picture themselves lifting the championship trophy decorated with the ribbons of their favourite club.

• The Screening Zone – visitors will experience the noise and excitement of match day before learning all about the winning teams and captains of the Premier League in this exclusive film.

• The Pitch Zone – a mini-football pitch where Premier League clubs will be conducting skills sessions with local football teams, while young fans get the chance to have a game of football run by Premier League community coaches.

• The Skills Zone – three football skills pods for supporters to test their accuracy, close control and shooting power.

• The Live Match Zone – the main arena where fans will watch the live matches on a 100 metre square screen, the biggest screen in South Africa.

  

 • The Official Merchandise Zone – this zone will be run by the Official Merchandise partner for the event Pro Soccer. Fans will be able to purchase official Barclays Premier League Club Merchandise like Home and Away shirts, Jackets, Hoodeys, Caps, Polo's etc... Fan's will also be able to have their favourite players name and number printed onto their shirts with official EPL printing. Barclays Premier League Live t-shirts will also be on sale in the merchandise zone to take home as a token of the event.

Fans will also well served by areas offering food and beverages. 

Premier League sponsors and partners Barclays, EA Sports, Nike, Pro Soccer and Topps will have event stands as will a number of clubs, including Cardiff City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland.

New Arsenal away kit for season 2013-14

Arsenal's new away kit for the upcoming season fuses the club’s traditional away colours of yellow and blue with a distinct contemporary style.

The shirt is yellow with a blue polo collar and deep blue cuffs on the sleeves, both featuring a thin yellow stripe. The polo-shirt collar reflects the best of London style, from fine gentleman’s tailoring to urban street wear. 

The new away shorts are blue, and the socks feature the traditional Arsenal hoop sock design in blue and yellow. The club was the first to wear socks featuring hoops in the 1930s under the innovative stewardship of manager Herbert Chapman.

In addition to providing the team with a striking new look, the kit also showcases Nike’s inherent belief in style, craft and strong aesthetics, while aiding the performance of players with a range of key technological features. 


Recycled Polyester

• The kit is made from recycled polyester in accord with Nike’s commitment to produce athletic wear with a low environmental impact. The shirt and shorts of each kit are made from up to thirteen recycled plastic water bottles.
• In the pioneering process plastic bottles are melted down to form yarn that is spun into recycled polyester, reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared to manufacturing virgin polyester.
• Since 2010, Nike has diverted more than 1.1 billion plastic bottles from landfills through the use of recycled polyester. 

Fabric and Nike Dri-FIT

• The kit is made of fabric weighing just 150 grams, 23 percent lighter than previous Nike kits. It also boasts a 20 percent stronger knit structure and significantly improved stretch. 
• The fabric is integrated with Nike Dri-FIT technology to draw sweat away from the body to keep players cool and dry.
• Updated and improved ventilation zones consisting of tiny laser-cut holes on both sides and across the entire back of the shirt, as well as at the shorts' waistband allows more air inside the kit for additional comfort and cooling.

Fit and construction

• Nike embarked on an innovative program creating 3D body scans of some of the world’s leading footballers to produce a more athletic fit tailored to the contours of their bodies. 
• It has been crafted with bonded T-bars at the junctions of the shirts to support the seams and inner welded seams with a clean finish to give a more striking appearance while also increasing comfort and performance.
