Spurs fans are claiming that the alleged Arsenal home shirt for the upcoming season resembles a bottle due to its distinctive red design. An account named Football Headlines on X (formerly known as Twitter) has shared images that seem to depict Arsenal’s new home kit for the 2024-25 season. The kit showcases blue side labels in addition to the traditional red body and white sides.

However, it didn’t take long for rival supporters, including some Gooners, to notice that the design of the shirt’s primary red section bore a resemblance to something else. One user said that the red portion bears a resemblance to a bottle, accompanied with laughter emojis. A Spurs fan posted a picture of a crimson beverage container, while another admirably commended the bottle’s aesthetic. #AdidasKnows #Bottlers, accompanied by three sobbing laughter emojis.

One of the images depicted the clothing item positioned in front of bricks, which was ridiculed.

Is there a bottle hanging on the wall? “Incredible, haha,” commented another Tottenham supporter.

“Adidas designed a bottle specifically for Arsenal to uphold their legacy,” commented another witty admirer.

A Gooner also observed the design resemblances, stating: ‘Even Adidas is mocking our tendency to fail under pressure.’

Arsenal has been dubbed the ‘bottlers’ due to their failure to carry a successful campaign to completion.

Their well-publicised inadequacies last season, despite ruling the Premier League for so long, were compounded this season by relinquishing top spot to Aston Villa last weekend and being knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich. Arteta agreed that this week ‘wasn’t the ideal experience’, but insisted Arsenal was focused on the title chase.
