Arsenal 21-22 Third Kit Released
Aug 10, 2021, by Chris
Adidas and Arsenal this morning launched the London club's brand-new 2021-2022 third kit, which introduces a unique and stylish design.
The Arsenal 21-22 third kit is inspired by the iconic 'Blue Lightning' kits produced by Nike in the 1990s and will be worn for the first time in the 2021-22 Premier League opener away to Brentford on Friday.
Arsenal FC 21-22 Third Kit
This picture shows the Arsenal FC 2021-2022 third shirt, made by Adidas.
The Adidas Arsenal 2021-22 third jersey is predominantly navy (Mystery Blue). The shirt is combined with a turquoise graphic and white / red logos. The Adidas logo is two-colored, just as on all other Adidas Elite third kits.
Design-wise, the Adidas Arsenal FC 21-22 third shirt stands out from the 20-21 third shirt. The Adidas Arsenal 2021-22 third jersey has a look inspired by the 1990s, similar as other Adidas 21-22 third shirts. Specifically, it takes inspiration from the two iconic 'Blue Lightning' away kits released by Nike in 1994 and 1995.
Dark blue shorts and socks complete the new Arsenal third kit.
The Arsenal 2021-2022 third kit was launched on August 10th, 2021.

Gabriel Jesus To Leave Adidas?
In his latest training sessions and first official game in Barcelona colors, Gabriel Jesus was spotted wearing a pair of black-painted F50 boots - a sign that he might be leaving Adidas.
His 'black' cleats are actually the laceless F50 2026 'Born for Goals', released earlier this year. The fact that they are painted shows that Jesus is currently at the last days of his contract with the brand, and could be looking for new partner.
Do you want to see Gabriel Jesus continue with Adidas, or to join a new brand? Let us know in the comments.
Adidas Gives Czechia and Singapore Identical Kit Designs
Following Czechia's high-profile switch from Puma to Adidas after 33 years, kit enthusiasts quickly spotted an uncanny similarity between Czechia's newly unveiled 26-27 home shirt and another recent Adidas addition: Singapore. Both national teams recently parted ways with long-term suppliers, with Singapore ending a two-decade partnership with Nike just weeks before Czechia ended their three-decade Puma era, only for both to receive remarkably similar shirts from the Three Stripes.
The resemblance between the two red shirts is unmistakable. Both jerseys rely on the exact same template and trim styling, built around a red base with a white crew collar bordered by thin navy blue piping, matching white sleeve cuffs with identical navy trim, and white Three Stripes across the shoulders. The primary visual difference is found in the texture of the fabric, as Singapore's kit incorporates a subtle tonal wave pattern, whereas Czechia's jersey arrives in a plain, solid red finish. Even the promotional launch shots look almost mirrored, with both federations photographing players seated or standing while holding an Adidas Tiro football.
The duplication stems from Adidas' streamlined template strategy when signing new federations on tight turnaround times. With both agreements sealed relatively late in the cycle, bespoke tailor-made graphics were kept to a minimum, resulting in what fans have labeled accidental twin kits on opposite sides of the globe.
