Due to an embarrassing error in the design, it appears that Adidas have been forced into stopping sales of the new Arsenal home jersey.
The sportswear giant are alleged to have made an error on the official version of the home strip for the upcoming season, according to a number of furious fans.
The club unveiled the kit in May, claiming the design was inspired by the feats of its Invincibles team from the 2003–04 season.
Arsene Wenger’s giants had won the Premier League without losing a single league game, and Arsenal opted to celebrate their success 20 years later.
The new shirt was pieced together to pay homage to their historic feat through stitching on the white trim down the sides of the red top.
The record of 26 wins and 12 draws should have been emblazoned on the jersey in the order of each result, although this is where the error has been noticed.
The general consensus among fans is that just 32 of the 38 league games have been shown.
According to them, the draws with Portsmouth and Birmingham as well as four victories across the course of the season have been clumsily left off.
The shirt is now “not available” to buy from the Adidas or Arsenal websites.
On the club’s webstore, the shirt appears to be out of stock and not for sale. At Adidas’ online shop, meanwhile, only the standard version is available for purchase.
Arsenal and Adidas have suspended the sale of the authentic home shirt due to an error in the design.
There are are 32 games of the Invincibles record instead of the 38 of that season.
It’s unknown what will be done for those who have already paid the £110 for the item. pic.twitter.com/DNls4Rt6Mn
