'We Care Do You?' - These Arsenal fans hijack 2019/20 away kit launch with Stan Kroenke message

Arsenal have launched their away kit for the 2019/20.

And it's fair to say it has gone down well, with Gunners fans and the wider football community.

There have been plenty of rumours about the kit, with a number of leaked images doing the rounds too, as Arsenal returned to a partnership with adidas for the first time in 25 year.

The rumours and leaked images all centred around a return to the iconic 'bruised banana' yellow shirt of the early 1990s.

And that is exactly the look adidas and Arsenal have gone for as the yellow strip was unveiled on Tuesday.

In a video to advertise the new shirt, Arsenal legend Ian Wright says: "We've got great history, history that we made, passion, pride and beautiful feet.

"No matter how much time passes, it can never be forgotten. But, we can always make more, as long as there are others who want it and we will, because that's what the shirt's for."

But while it is a very good-looking kit, Arsenal supporters will want to know who is going to be wearing it next season.

Head coach Unai Emery only has a £45million budget to spend this summer, and so far only teenager Gabriel Martinelli has joined the club, for a fee of around £5.3million.

Supporters are angry at the lack of spending power the club has in comparison to the rest of the big six in the Premier League, with a protest against owner Stan Kroenke taking place while the club are on their pre-season tour out there.

The #WeCareDoYou campaign was trending on social media on Monday, and the kit launch was hijacked by plenty of fans trying to get that same message across.

There were also a number of fans praising the kit on social media.
