Arsenal will hope they have some shiny new trophies to match it,
but even if they don't, you can be sure the fans will be delighted
with this proposed retro home kit for next season.
The Gunners are celebrating 125 silverware-laden years in
2010-11 and pictures have appeared on blogs showing what purports
to a new home strip representing their wonderful history in some
style.
The absence of a sponsor from the middle of the strip is perhaps
the most glaring symbol of times past, with a discreet logo instead
sitting under the club crest.
A modern classic: The apparent new Arsenal kit
celebrates their glorious past
The traditional shirt maintains the all red body but is a return
to the white sleeves of old, something neglected in the current
Arsenal home kit, a move which had upset some fans.
Supporters have flocked to buy commemorative kits in recent
years, starting with the redcurrant strip used in the club's final
year at Highbury and followed by a dedicated white outfit in memory
of legendary manager Herbert Chapman.
Spot the difference: A recent Arsenal home kit is
someway from the proposed new strip
Last season the club celebrated the 20th anniversary of their
dramatic title triumph at Anfield - when Mickey Thomas scored a
late second goal to steal the trophy from under Liverpool's nose -
with a similar yellow and blue strip worn that famous night on
Merseyside.
The Emirates faithful will be hoping this latest throwback will
bring similarly exciting nights.
