Arsenal’s new away kit has been spotted on the shelves in Australia before its official launch in the UK.

The Gunners released their first kit of the new Adidas deal, worth £60million a season to the north Londoners, on July 1 as fans got a first official glimpse of the new retro home kit.

Arsenal had previously worn Puma shirts before a switch this summer. Adidas are continuing the retro theme with an away shirt which reflects the popular bruised banana strip worn from 1991-1993.

Furthermore, on Monday a picture of visiting Houston Rockets basketballer, James Harden, wearing the new away shirt alongside Reiss Nelson was circulated on social media.

The away strip is not set for official release until July 15 but has this week been spotted on the shelves Down Under, with supporters sharing pictures on Twitter.

Arsenal fans will get a first look their new shirts during a game when the Gunners begin their pre-season games against Colorado Rapids in the early hours of July 16.
