The new away kit is white?

That’s the image that’s been making its’ way around the various Arsenal forums the last two days. While there are many people claiming that it’s a f Photoshopped fake, Blogger on Arseblog.com swears up and down that it’s legit. I tend to belive him, as he’s usually right about these kind of things.

As for the kit itself, I have a few questions. White? Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to wear the same color as the Scum? I have to admit though, I do quite like the shorts, and the hooped socks are very retro. I’m just not sure how many shirts Arsenal & Nike think they’re going to sell. Anyway, the pre-sale starts on Monday, so I guess we’ll have some official images released by then at the latest and then we’ll all know for sure.

US 4 - 1 China

In their final tune-up match before the Gold Cup, the US easily defeated China 4-1 in an exhibition last night at San Jose’s Spartan Stadium. Goals from Benny Feilhaber, DeMarcus Beasley, Clint Dempsey, and Oguchi Onyewu, paced the Americans to their fourth victory under new boss Bob Bradley.

In all honesty, Bradley’s really only had one real test - against Mexico, but there are certainly some big games coming up this summer. The Gold Cup starts this week, and the US face off against Guatemala on Thursday, Trinidad & Tobago on Saturday, and El Salvador next Tuesday.
