ARSENAL's home shirt for next season will be a darker red than the current shade they are wearing this season. 

Gunners fans will not have to worry too much though as it is nowhere near as dark as the burgundy colour they wore in their last season at Highbury in the 2005/06 season.

Arsenal dropped their white sleeves and changed the colour to red currant, in honour of the first set of shirts worn at Highbury in 1913.

The 17/18 shirt was leaked by  and shows the Arsenal badge along with the Puma logo who will manufacture the other two kits that Arsenal will release.

Arsenal are a traditional club so don't expect to see anything other than the usual smart, red body and white sleeves for their home kit.

Its the away and third kits that the club tend to give the manufacturer license to thrill with the design although there have been some very strange shirts produced in the past.

Supporters will be hoping that they will be able to have the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil printed on the back of their shirts after they have signed new deals.

But all the time they have not put pen to paper they will be concerned that the star players will be selling shirts somewhere else.
