As we prepare for the Premier League run-in, which will see Arsenal attempt to overhaul Liverpool's 12-point lead after the international break, we will also be entering kit leak season.
Arsenal fans will still have a while to wait until we officially see what teams will be wearing for the 2025/26 season, but the leaks won't be far off now.
The more optimistic Gunners supporters will be hoping that when they don next season's shirt they will have won their first Premier League title for more than 20 years, while the more measured fans will simply be hoping for a set of designs that are easy on the eye.
Arsenal home kit for 2025/26 'leaked'
The latest leak of the 2025/26 Arsenal kit has been 'revealed' by Footy Headlines, with the new strip set to be released in early May for Gunners fans. Obviously, it comes in red and white, though the blue that features on the shirt in the 2024/25 version has been removed to make it feel more traditional.
But while the shirt looks fairly standard from a distance, up close it's clear to see a large A in the style of "The Gothic A" the club has made its own in recent times plastered all over the shirt in a streamlined pattern.
White raglan sleeves remain, though they don't look set to extend down the sides of the body like it does in 2024/25. That means Arsenal should return to wearing their home kit in their away fixture against Tottenham next term, with the Premier League requiring the Gunners to change strips due to there being too much white on the home shirt.
The club crest also comes in a white outline, with the Adidas stripes on the sleeves red while the rest of the accents are white.
The away kit leak shows a blue and black design featuring lightning bolts, which have appeared on a number of recent kits, including last year's home shirt, plus the 2021/22 third shirt. A design for the third shirt has also been doing the rounds, which is a textured white shirt that features maroon and gold detailing.
All the most recent kits have been sponsored by UAE airline Emirates, of course, and that will continue in 2025/26, with a deal in place until 2028.
If Footy Headlines’ rough predictions is correct, next season’s shirt will be a return to a more simplistic design, with the club crest back on the front and no extra colours beyond red and white.
That might please some of the club’s more traditional supporters, while others might hope for a more creative design. But you can’t please everyone, and keeping things simple is often the way to go.
