    Arsenal have released their new away kit which even their own fans have dubbed the "ugliest of all-time".

    The Gunners have opted for a luminous yellow number which has a number of wavy black lines across it and is detailed with a bright blue badge and sponsors.

    After it was officially announced this morning (July 18), one supporter tweeted: "This is the ugliest shirt we've ever had. And we've had some ugly shirts."

    A second echoed: "This is the ugliest football shirt for…. maybe ever!" And a third argued: "One of the best kit announcements in a while, shame it’s for one of the ugliest kits ever."

    "Can’t believe someone said yes, this is a good design," commented a fourth, while a fifth joked: "Nice training shirt. Now where is the real away kit?"

    Should any fans want to buy the shirt, the replica will cost £80 and the player-issue version £110.

    The design has been inspired by the club's Islington roots, with the black lines a map of the area. They're said to represent the journeys supporters make out of the their home borough on away days.

    The announcement video featured appearances from a number of Arsenal-supporting famous faces, including AntsLive, Scratcha, Theo Ellis, Mabel, Sherelle, Ashley Walters, Asa Butterfield, and Martin Kemp.
