The 2019-20 South Africa Premier Soccer League (PSL) begins play on Aug. 3 in what’ll be the competition’s 24th season.

After five years of tight and taut Puma jerseys, Arsenal is now beginning the first of its five-year deal with adidas as the official kit supplier. This isn’t the first time the three stripes have graced Gunners apparel: between 1986 and 1994 it was adidas that outfitted the London club.

He creates goals for teammates, yes, but he generates attacks no one else can see with agility and raw skill.

Leicester City's New Away Kit Looks Awfully Familiar

Clubs LOVE kit reveals. Why? Not only because the club gets new threads for next season, but also because people will buy them. Lately it seems like big kit manufacturers have lost their creative touch, opting to go for cookie cutter designs on their kits that are shared throughout Europe.
