DBasia.news – Far from North London, Arsenal launched their newest jersey for the 2018/2019 season in Singapore. The models presenting the jersey are Hector Bellerin, Petr Cech, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Mesut Ozil.
Among the five players, Bellerin was the most trendy with his long hair and earrings, also the necklace. No wonder, the Spanish player is now doing a freelance job as the catwalk model in London.
Back to the newest jersey of Arsenal. The color is modern green from the shirt, pants, and also socks. Black is the second color from The Gunners’ third jersey. Puma’s color choice was inspired by the bluebottle popular in 1982/1983 season.
More than that, there is a special philosophy related to the third jersey, with W print in the center. The W alphabet reminded Arsenal of their legend, Herbert Chapman, who popularized the WM formation back in the 1930s.
“Featuring a W-shaped print across its chest, the shirt acknowledges the formation introduced by legendary manager Herbert Chapman,” the statement in Arsenal official site.
Basically, the WM formation was the 2-3-4 or 3-4-3 written strategy. But in reality, the W appeared in the front line consisted of two wing strikers, two-second strikers, and center striker.
While the M was the formation from the center to the back by the presence of three full-backs (players who can flexibly play and help the center defense), while the other two players in front were the defending midfielder.
The WM formation was known by the offensive and entertaining style. So, Arsenal are expecting the same game in Unai Emery era.
