Well, by the time some of you read this Twitter may have exploded and the entire media world may have already featured this story but I'll share it anyway.

According to the Mirror's John Cross, a journo with close ties to the Arsenal, Puma has agreed to a 5 year deal as the new kit manufacturers for the London club starting from 2014.

The pertinent excerpts from the article are as follows:

"They have struck an agreement worth in excess of £30m-a-year which could see the five year contract worth £170m in total."
"The deal worth more than Liverpool’s new £25m-a-year contract with Warrior and brings to an end Arsenal’s 20-year tie-up with Nike."

This deal would be the biggest of its kind in English Football (but will probably eventually be surpassed United's upcoming renewal with Nike).

well, SAF had to go and overshadow this bombshell of a story :/ Always the one-upsmanship lol.

puma is shitt!

^ Whats wrong with Puma? Just because they don't sponsor the best players or teams, or make the best boots, doesn't mean theres anything wrong with them!

Leaked Arsenal puma kit. One word : Disgusting

the kit looks awful

@ramaboy10, Puma doesn't sponsor the best teams? How about CL finalist Borussia Dortmund?

let's hope Puma will create something new for next year.

To be honest, I'd rather have Umbro than puma :/

Puma= Eto'o.

nough said.

Puma makes some nice kits, beside I don't even think that Arsenal gives two fuck about how the kits will look, their getting 170 million for the deal!

@Juve: EXACTLY! I personally don't care if the baby Gap was manufacturing it, it's the deal that counts. Plus, I rather like Puma.

The real 2013/2014 kit.

Puma just got classier!

Puma makes the coolest casual trainers next to Diesel so maybe'd be a good thing: but these kits are HIDEOUS.

got nothing to do in school, so this is result.

@quikzyyy, it looks very nice, but I can't imagine Arsenal wearing black, for some reason

@TheGame I know, but I am saying the majority are sponsored by Nike and Adidas.

@quikzyyy, that looks pretty good actually for a 3rd kit, muster up a yellow and blue away kit!

gosh I hate Puma of some of the reasons.... prefer Adidas than Puma like in the past. btw nice photoshoping the last one especially. instead of black i'd use white mby?
