Leaked Arsenal Third Kit Unveils Classic Look With Bold Modern Accents
Here we go again—another leak breaking into the buzzing world of football kits. Arsenal’s third kit for the 2025/26 season hasn’t even been officially announced, but fans are already talking, thanks to campaign images that found their way online. And honestly, it’s a look that could split opinions fast: a bold white base paired with sharp maroon and gold accents. If you remember the 2007/08 Nike kit, this new version is clearly a nod to that era, but think bigger and shinier.
Adidas is going all in. The kit includes heavy hits of maroon on the collar, sleeves, and the three classic shoulder stripes. Then there’s the gold—showing up in the trim and most noticeably on the Emirates sponsor logo, giving the whole shirt a richer edge. Instead of the traditional crest, you get Arsenal’s simplified cannon badge in maroon on the chest and an alternative trefoil logo, also in maroon, to crank up the retro factor. But Adidas didn’t stop there. Flip the shirt around and you’ll see a throwback Art Deco crest on the nape, keeping that maroon and gold theme alive.
Modern Touches Meet Arsenal Tradition
The leak also revealed a fresh approach to the kit’s mix-and-match potential. For shorts, you can pick from two flavors: classic white to keep things sleek, or deep maroon if you want something that pops. The socks stick to the base of white, but keep those maroon highlights, perfect for tying the whole look together without going overboard.
Big changes are also seen on the goalkeeper kit. It’s all about tradition here, with a green jersey featuring chunky alternating pale and mid-green stripes—not unlike the classic goalie shirts from back in the day. Adidas completes it with a crisp white collar and their familiar shoulder stripes, making sure keepers won’t be lost in the sea of wild outfield designs.
This third kit will drop in August 2025, after the current home kit (already in stores) and before the soon-to-debut away kit—famous already for its electric blue lightning graphics that fans spotted teasing Arsenal’s Asian pre-season tour.
Another twist in this season’s style: Arsenal is sticking to the cannon logo for their away and third kits, doubling down on a look that many supporters see as the real ‘Arsenal spirit.’ For the home kit, though, it’s back to the classic crest—because some things never go out of fashion, especially at the Emirates.
Whether you’re a kit collector, a die-hard fan, or just following the football fashion scene, you can bet this leak is already fueling debates and shaping shopping lists for the summer ahead. The countdown to the official reveal is just getting started, but with looks this bold, it’s clear Arsenal and Adidas aren’t afraid to mix nostalgia with new-school swagger.
