Arsenal Home Kit 2006-2008 (A slight modification)
Update: The article below discusses the 06-07 kit – for the 07-08 kit, see this article: Arsenal 07-08 Away Kit
After the initial blurtastic photos posted by Arsenal.com of our new home kit for 06/07 and 07/08, a number of blogs and sites have posted scans of a Nike catalog containing clear images of our new kit. I have no clue which blog/site broke it first, but whoever did, here’s credit to you. It’s an amazing kit, and I love going back to the red and white again.
However, there’s one bit I don’t like about the shirt: the two gold stripes running down the front. So I decided to get rid of the stripes in PhotoShop and that version looks even better than this one. To me, at least. Have a look.
Here’s the original version off the catalog:
And this is my edited version:

You can buy the Arsenal 06/08 home kit here.
Also see: 2007/2008 Premiership Kits and our football kits section.
Yeh man, totally, looks a lot better without them. I didnt mind them at first, but after seeing what it cud be like without them, you see its better! I suppose it wudnt be a Nike kit without sumthin horrible on it tho lol!
It looks a whole lot better without the stripes. it’ll be hard to get used to the sponser. I still think it’s better than the current top. Cant wait to wear it at the Grove. We’re gunner get ya!
Obviously some haute couture challenged person thought he’d match the stripes with the emblem.
Doesn’t matter really, everyone will get used to it, eventually.
It is much better without the stripes.
Good job. Those stripes look like such an afterthought, especially when comparing the shirt to the redcurrant one, which I realy loved. Sadly, I dont believe your modification will manifest itself in the new shirt……
Perhaps it’s time to manufacture the “Arsenal 06/07 Home Shirt Mod Pack” – A bit of red dye and a paintbrush and we’re set!
What a waste of time, you think Nike/Arse are going to change the design now then or what? You obviously have too much free time.
You no that nike have never and will never just make a plain kit. looks nice thoough without the stripes dont get me wrong but we’ll get used to it. We always have the best kits anyway!!
the edited version is obviously better
i think the new kit looks class with the stipes as its not as plain and boring as previous kits! love the retro look well done nike on another class arsenal shirt! does anyone know if we r changing the away one aswell?
whqt are u sayin about them kit, it looks sick with or without the stripes big up arsenal
Dat kit is horrible
Looks great with the stripes, and i like the plain white sleeves. reminds me of the best Dreamcast kit.
The edited one looks like the first O2 one, but with a different sponser, and i’m glad the crest is not in the middle this time.
Don’t worry, the real kit won’t have the gold stripes!
I saw the new Arsenal Emirates Kit at the local shopping mall (Toronto, Canada) and it looks legit. I can’t believe my eyes as Arsenal FC was going to reveal it sometime in July? But the store owner told me the shipment arrived a week ago and the Kit had all the authentic Nike labels, tags, and the store is a large retail store chain so it’s pretty real. Here are some photos of me trying the new Kit on in the change room (sorry for poor quality pics, it’s dark and I only had my Cel cam)

KOoooooooool
yo said it hasnt got gold stripes when you can clearly see gold stripes on your second picture? hmmm
I have brought all of the arsenal shirts since 1999 and this is my least favourite. The edited version is loads better than the original but it looks very old fashioned. The gold stripes are horrible. I will deffinalty buy this shirts even though it is not very nice.
Should have kept last seasons design. Forever. Too many red and white teams in the EPL as it is.
yeah edited version much better i thought that when i first see it you think they will do anything?
yeah yours looks quite good, but it needs some origionality, to make it worth buying instead of keeping an older one.
New kit is cool but looks empty.Lines look better on sides
I THINK YOUR A TWAT ITS A KIT AND ALL OF YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE DEBATING OVER A FOOTBALL KIT
it looks well smart with stripes luks more interesting luks borin without stripes
arsenal are gay and so are all of you
debating over a football kit…. sad bastads!!!!
why are you taking the stipes off its soooooooooooooooooo stupid it definatly looks much better with the stripes on. they must b there for a reason so accept it and forget about it u fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vincenzo dont worry there still is something wrong with it which makes it a nike kit, and thats your stupid badge!!!!!!
1-0
I wouldn’t even clean my van with that filthy rag…
i like both with or without looks da same but luckily their changing the away 1 i hated the yellow onw so shit.
they look the same even without the stripes no differnece and im fed up with this one they should add more stuff to it like more gold and stuff ot something like the 2005 kit we had and i also liked the away kit we had in the 2005 season.
looks alright iz it the new home kit
how do u get this stuff?
this top looks alot better without the gold stripes
I dont much like the gold stripes on the kit, they’re way too wide.What i do is want gold piping on a baggy navy hoodie with a a nice big Arsenal breast emblem …hope they make one soon…be so cooool
I prefer a simple style, without stripes is much better
If Arsenal are having the same home kit then why is it not the same. If it has 2 gold stripes on it then it’s not the same. Now I have to buy a new home kit if they’re changing the home kit
ORIGINAL BETTER (H)
I LIKE THE OLD 1
its a fake
Are you people stupid??? This is a debate from LAST SEASON! The kit stays the same. And Kitman, you’re a moron. Last season had gold stripes. Maybe if you were a fan and payed attention you would have noticed. But really, read the date of something before you read it.
The pictures died. Could u plz re-post it.
Thanks a lot. This site is great btw!
I THINK THEY NEED TO CHANGE IT MORE THAN JUST SOME LITTLE GOLD STRIPES ANYWAY THATS MY OPINION
Theyre are keeping the same kit from last season, it even sez on the shirt, that is onviousley photoshoped or something
In all fairness 2 u, i think its a bit dumb that the people don’t bother 2 read wot u’ve ritten. @ least i noticed that it’s meant 2 b photoshopd
same old arsenal with the best kits ever!
great new away kit.love it ^^
you can clearly see that the gold stripes hve been blured
the gold stripes ruin the whole shirt
the gold stripes look better
the away kit looks nice
but the 3rd kit looks deadly
dis kit is a symbol of arsenal. it has the tradtional red n white colours n to me the gold stripes look ok. it’s not gonna change so i think thats a good thing.
I agree with those who say we should’ve stayed with currant as the color. Too much red & white running around the pitch. The currant would be a welcome change.
i think that the stripes are really cool and they match with the amblem.Anyway… did you saw the third kit for 2007/2008? WOW!!! It’s amazing!!! red, black and gold… really classy… and the second kit is cool too… white is always good! ARSENAL HAVE THE BEST KIT IN THE WORLD!!! have you seen the chelsea away kit…LOL it’s awful
You can still faintly see the yellow stripes…if you use Photoshop try using both the smudge tool and the blur tool, they come in great use for me
