Arsenal and Manchester City have revealed their new home kits for the upcoming 2024-25 season, just days before their final fixtures in the Premier League with the title still up for grabs.
Arsenal, currently two points behind league leaders City, are vying for their first title since the legendary 'Invincibles' side of 2003-04. The Gunners will face Everton on Sunday, needing a win and hoping City falter against West Ham United to clinch the championship.
Arsenal's new kit features a significant nod to the club's history, as the iconic cannon emblem returns to the chest of the home shirt for the first time since 1989-90. The cannon symbolizes the club's origins at the Royal Arsenal factory in Woolwich in 1886, a heritage cherished by fans.
The 2024-25 Arsenal home kit, designed by Adidas, maintains the traditional red torso and white sleeves, with a subtle tile effect for added flair. The gold trim from the previous season has been replaced by a dark blue hue, extending from the shirt to the predominantly white shorts.
On the other hand, Manchester City's new home kit by Puma pays homage to the city's local identity with the inclusion of the numbers '0161' in the trim details, representing the Manchester dialling code. The jersey also features unique design elements and a soundtrack by Mancunian rapper Tays, capturing the essence of the club's community.
Both clubs have embraced their heritage and modernity in the design of their new kits, setting the stage for an exciting 2024-25 season in the Premier League. Fans eagerly await the unveiling of the champions' jersey after Sunday's decisive matches.
