If away kits could win Premier League titles then Arsenal have this in the bag! After all the leaked images that were doing the rounds in the social network, Arsenal announced its official away kit for the season 2013/14 which saw them switch back to the traditional yellow color with a touch of invincibility to it.

Arsenal and kit partner Nike have revealed the new 2013/14 away kit - available to pre-order soon - with a spectacular launch event revealing the Club’s young British players immortalised on the side of Emirates Stadium.<br /><br />
The exterior of the Gunners’ home has been transformed with a giant banner of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere all sporting the new Nike strip over the stadium core located at the corner of the Clock End and West Stand.<br /><br />
The 39m x 13m image will be on display throughout July and up until early August when the kit will officially go on sale across all Club retail outlets. The kit, which the Gunners will wear on the road this season and for the first time on the forthcoming Asia Tour, fuses the Club’s tradition with a distinct contemporary style.<br /><br />
Using the traditional Arsenal away colours of yellow and blue, the design is sure to appeal to a new generation of fans. The shirt is yellow with a blue polo neck collar and deep blue cuffs on the sleeves, both featuring a thin yellow stripe. The collar replicates a polo shirt and reflects the best of London style from fine gentleman’s tailoring to urban street wear. The new away shorts are blue while the new away socks feature the traditional Arsenal hoop sock design in blue and yellow, harking back to the style of those worn in the 1930s under the innovative management of Herbert Chapman.

The away kits were rightfully branded by the club’s British core Jenkinson, Wilshere, Walcott, Gibbs, OX and Ramsey. It is sure an honour for the youngsters to unveil the away kits and to be on the billboards around the stadium. And in particular, it has been such a meteoric rise for Jenkinson, from a Charlton hopeful, to a huge poster of him on the Emirates, only in two years. Goes to show, even in today’s money driven game, how important a tool pure passion is.
However, Arsenal faithful across London have raised their voice against this as the club have replaced the main billboard in front of the Emirates stadium which had club legends including the likes of Henry, Brady, Adams who carried the club on their shoulders.
Isn’t there any other place to put up a banner for the away kits? why cover those who have written their name in the clubs history wit h a bunch of kids?
Although, the reason British core sounds promising, this is ridiculous from the Arsenal board!
What do you guys think about this?
