Fans are all saying the same thing about Arsenal’s new kit (Picture: Adidas)
Adidas have responded to claims that the new Arsenal home shirt for the 2024-25 season is shaped like a bottle.
The German kit manufacturer unveiled Arsenal’s new shirt on Thursday and fans are all saying the same thing about the design.
The red of the shirt against the white makes it look like the outline of a bottle -which rival supporters are loving on social media.
The term ‘bottling’ is used in football to describe when a team throws away a good chance of winning something.
Some teased Arsenal for ‘bottling’ the Premier League title last season having topped the table for 248 days – the most for a team who failed to clinch the trophy in English top-flight history.
Arsenal look set to again painfully miss out on this season’s Premier League title unless West Ham can do them a massive favour against Manchester City.
That has led to further taunts that Arsenal have ‘bottled’ it – and rival fans have been quick to point out the design flaw on Adidas’ new kit.

‘Since someone showed me that bottle shape, I can’t unsee,’ @priyeahshiyer posted on Instagram.
‘Why does the red part of Arsenal’s new kit look like a bottle?’ Chelsea fan @CFCxEnzo said on X along with a crying emoji.
‘I’m in tears man, Adidas intentionally made the new Arsenal shirt shaped like a bottle,’ @CFCMod_ added on X.
