Rumours of Arsenal signing a kit deal with Adidas once their current deal with Puma ends have been circulating online and have picked up pace recently.
If Arsenal were to sign a deal with Adidas, it would be the first time their kits feature the famous three stripes since the early 1990s.
Concept kits have already been doing the rounds. This one in particular from ‘Arsenal Edits’ has attracted a lot of attention.
It's been reported by @DarrenArsenal1 that Adidas have made a strong offer to manufacture Arsenal's kits following the current Puma deal. Here again, is a mock-up of something we could expect to see. pic.twitter.com/imqChceK6J

The two buttons and a round, grandad collar, as well as the stripes on the shoulder, are both features we saw in this season’s Manchester United kit, also made by Adidas.
Should Adidas become Arsenal’s kit provider, the actual product could end up distinctly different, but one aspect is sure to feature: the iconic three stripes.
Adidas kits in the 2016/17 season had the stripes not on the sleeves for once, but down the inner side of the shirt, along the ribcage. Could we see this feature return on an Arsenal kit, as a way of preserving the distinctive white sleeves?
We will have to wait and see.
Arsenal fans would surely be happy with something like this, though? It is a beauty, you have to admit.
