New Arsenal kit: Fresh images of 'official' 2020-21 shirt shocks fans: 'Looks like it's from The Walking Dead'

A number of Arsenal fans have been left shocked by the 'official' new away kit for the 2020-21 Premier League, with the strip compared to outfits you may more typically see in 'The Walking Dead'.

The images provided by Footy Headlines features an Adidas shirt supposedly set to accompany the Gunners on the road next season, though neither club nor manufacturer have confirmed the latest designs.

The jersey perhaps most closely resembles Arsenal's current white training strip, although with a number of elongated red marks dripped across the shirt in what arguably looks more of a Halloween outfit.

The shirt has a white collar and - similarly to Arsenal's yellow away kit this season - has Adidas’ iconic three stripes running along the shoulders.

The usual Fly Emirates logo has also slightly changed, with the company name now accompanied by the slogan 'Fly Better'.

The response to the shirt has been mixed, though the general consensus is certainly one of sheer surprise.

One fan said: "Arsenal’s new away kit looks like a shirt from The Walking Dead."

Mark Goldbridge, a Manchester United fan, added: "If this legit as an Arsenal kit....whoever wears it is going too look like they've been a round with Tyson Fury."

Adidas received widespread praise for their debut Arsenal kits last season, but if this design proves to be the real deal, their second attempt may not be quite as well received.
