Arsenal unveil new home kit with strange press release
They make it way too easy
I get it. Trying to come up with something exciting and new to say about the annual kit releases is hard. In Arsenal’s case, you really just want to say “It’s red with white sleeves, it’s way too tight, and you’ll probably be disappointed by who is actually wearing it this season,” but you can’t say that. Instead, Puma and Arsenal came up with this poetic oddity:
That’s real. See for yourself. They also included some strange videos, like this one:
Why do Arsenal do this to themselves? Aren’t there enough jokes about them already? The intensity of their masochism is unmatched in world football.

Atlanta United’s inaugural kit is the MetroStars’ old kit
What’s old is new again in MLS
Atlanta United will join MLS next season (along with Minnesota United), which means they’ll need something to wear. So on Tuesday night, they unveiled their first ever home kit. And it looks rather familiar.
Here’s Atlanta’s new kit…
And here are a couple of kits worn by the MetroStars (now the New York Red Bulls)…
Of course, there’s also a distinct similarity to the Milan’s famous home kit. That’s not to say that any of these comparisons are a bad thing. It’s an attractive enough design. But Atlanta will surely hope to have more success in their kit than the MetroStars did.
English amateur club unveils sausage kit
The latest in food themed kit atrocities
We here at Dirty Tackle have prided ourselves on keeping you abreast of the latest developments in questionable food themed kit fashions. To recap, we have seen strawberry, blueberry, broccoli, octopus, beer, and ham kits from various lower division clubs across Spain to this point. But now this phenomenon has reached British shores with Bedale AFC’s sausage kit.
Why would an amateur club agree to wear a kit covered in sausages? Well, Bedale recently signed a partnership with local sausage manufacturer Heck Food (watch out, Abe Froman), so if having the word “HECK” printed across their shirts didn’t convey quality in the art of tube-shaped animal bits, the sausage blizzard design certainly will.
In addition to the shirt sponsorship, Bedale’s ground has been renamed Heck Stadium and we can only hope they are working on a sign reading “Welcome to Heck” that will put Galatasaray’s intimidation efforts to shame.
While Bedale’s sausage fest kit is impressive, it still can’t top CD Guijuelo’s ham kit.
