adidas halt Arsenal home shirt production due to glaring error

Arsenal and kit manufacturers adidas have temporarily suspended the sale of their 2023/24 home shirt due to a design error.

The Gunners' home strip pays homage to the 2003/04 Invincibles squad for its 20th anniversary and is meant to include their 38-Game record from that campaign on the seams.

Pictures soon circulated on social media of buyers who spotted their kits including only 32 games from that legendary campaign under Arsene Wenger and adidas have now released a statement confirming the shirt has been pulled from shelves while the mistake is fixed.

It reads: "The 2023/24 Arsenal Home Authentic Jerseys are temporarily unavailable while a design error is being corrected.

"We are working closely with the club and our partners to ensure restocked jerseys are available as soon as possible, and are offering full refunds to fans who have already bought one.

"This design error falls short of the standards we set ourselves as a brand, and we apologise to the club and its fans."

The new shirt was debuted towards the end of the 2022/23 season by both the men's and women's teams, who finished second and third in the Premier League and Women's Super League respectively.

Arsenal have had their kits produced by adidas since 2019, having previously spent five years with Puma after a 20-year partnership with Nike came to an end in 2014.

Image
Matchday six in CONMEBOL World Cup 2026 qualification was controversial, to say the least. There were wins for Colombia, Uruguay and Ecuador over Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile respectively, but the real drama came at the Maracanã, where Brazil hosted arch-rivals Argentina. Messi attempts to defuse crowd trouble in Rio Kick-off was delayed by crowd trouble in Rio de Janeiro, with local police charing at away fans after fighting broke out between rival supporters in a section of the stadium. After the teams had taken to the field, Albiceleste captain Lionel Messi and his teammates went over in an attempt to defuse the situation, with the Inter Miami star later revealing players were worried family members had been caught up in the trouble. After Argentina had returned to the dressing room and subsequently reappeared, the match eventually got underway with a delay of around 30 minutes. And yet more misery was heaped on Brazil, who lost their first ever qualifier on home soil and have

Chelsea among Premier League clubs taking interest in Ibrahim Adel

Chelsea are one of a number of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Egyptian winger Ibrahim Adel, 90min understands. The 22-year-old has long been regarded as one of African football's brightest young talents, and backed up that reputation after being named Player of the Tournament at the recent Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations. Adel, who currently plays for Pyramids in his homeland and has been capped four times by Egypt's senior team, was targeted by Belgian giants Anderlecht earlier this year, but a number of Premier League clubs have also been monitoring his progress. Indeed, 90min revealed in September last year that fellow countryman Mohamed Salah had advised Liverpool to keep an eye on Adel's development, though any move to England was off the table at the time because of issues obtaining a work permit.
