Arsenal fans mock new Gunners kit for resembling Tesco’s Value range
ARSENAL have been mocked online after their new home kit appeared to resemble Tesco’s cut-price Value range.
The title-hunters, whose league hopes will be decided today, launched next season’s kit last week.
But Gunners fans claimed the Adidas home kit’s blue-striped sleeves reminded them of the discount product line.
Posting online, @RipleyAWFC said: “I really can’t look at the new Arsenal kit with the blue stripes and not think of Tesco Value.”
But Mattie Powell backed the club, joking: “Love the new shirt.
“Purchased it then read comment about sleeves looking like Tesco Value. Love it even more now!”
Others criticised the club for the £85 price tag, claiming it was anything but good value.
Tesco Value was a range of everyday products sold by the retailer from 1993 until 2012.
It was rebranded as Everyday Value.
Its blue-and-white striped design earned the products a cult following.
The supermarket also released socks and an oversized blue “oodie” jumper inspired by the Value line.
The new Arsenal kit features a new change to the club’s crest.
The Gunners will need every little help from West Ham, who face title rivals Man City, as they bid to win the Premier League for the first time in 20 years this afternoon.
