Arsenal caught our attention today wearing a never-seen-before kit combination in their away game at Manchester United.
Donning their black-and-gold away kit and in order to prevent a kit clash with United's black socks, Arsenal are wearing grey-and-black socks today. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the socks were not made for Arsenal but are instead a standard teamwear model from Adidas. This is evident from the fact that they feature the Adidas logo on the front and not on the back, for example.

While not confirmed, we believe that the socks are the Adidas Adi Sock 21 model, which retail at £13 but can be bought for around £10.
As pointed out by Arsenal Shirt Collection on Twitter, the socks are the same ones that were worn by Aaron Ramsdale a few times this season. One could argue that the grey color somewhat matches that of the Adidas stripes on the shirt and shorts of the away kit.
Just a standard teamwearg sock used by our goalkeepers with no Arsenal branding on them!
I suppose it matches the grey stripes on the shirt and socks.@kit_geek @dawesy2801 @ACL_Soccer @afcstuff pic.twitter.com/XwIAlBYJx1— Arsenal Shirt Collection (@ArsenalShirt) September 4, 2022Do you like today's Arsenal kit? Comment below.
