Arsenal supporters are certain a new kit announcement is close after the club store released a potential hint about the latest design.
On Wednesday morning, fans trying to access the online shop were greeted by an ambiguous message reading “We’ll be back, just making a few tactical changes”. On the image, a red background with a white lightning bolt through the middle had supporters convinced the popular “lightning-bolt” pattern is staging a comeback.
First introduced for the 1994-95 season, the style was implemented on the Gunners’ blue away kit for two seasons before seemingly being confined to the scrapheap - despite its popularity. The shirts were made famous by stars such as Ian Wright and Dennis Bergkamp despite Arsenal failing to win any silverware throughout that period.
