However, according to the latest post from Footy Headlines, Arsenal fans will have something to rejoice for in the upcoming season.
As per the post on Footy headlines, Arsenal's 2020/21 away kit has already hit some of the stores in Europe. While there hasn't been any official release from sportswear giants Adidas, it seems that multiple fakes of the official club merchandise have already flocked the market.
The kit is expected to be officially launched in July, but that could potentially be delayed as the current EPL season, is expected to stretch deep into July due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Arenal seemed to have turned back the clock with their latest kit design. The Gunners have adopted white as the base color for their away kit after a long wait of ten years. The away jersey for 2020-21 has a unique pattern all across the jersey which is being described as 'maroon marble'.
The Arsenal 20220-21 away kit seems to be inspired by the Marble Halls at Highbury, Arsenal's old stadium. The kit has thin maroon streaks running across the entire jersey. The streaks resemble the pattern similar to what was found engraved in the marble walls at the clubs old stadium.
The positioning of Adidas' iconic three stripes is similar to Juventus' away kit for the upcoming 2020-21 season. The iconic three black stripes have been positioned on the shoulder blades, which seems to be the latest trend in majority of Adidas' away kits for next season.
