Arsenal have unveiled their new third shirt for this season. The blue kit will be worn in away games of cup competitions, including the Champions League and FA Cup.

Spanish right-back Hector Bellerin commented: "I really like the new shirt, especially the colour as I feel it gives us an even more powerful look. The fit is always great with the PUMA shirts, and gives us good performance benefits. We are excited to wear the shirt in cup competitions this season, especially the Champions League.”

Manufacturers Puma say: "The new cup kit features a modern interpretation of a classic football sash, a diagonal stripe across the chest. PUMA’s new design however is modernised through the addition of more geometric stripes, chosen in the seasonal colours white, victory gold and capri breeze blue on an overall anthracite base. As with this season’s home and away shirt, the cup shirt includes PUMA’s classic Form Strip as a mesh panel on the sleeves."

The red home shirt and gold away shirts are already out to buy. The Gunners face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
