Arsenal bizarrely wear red shorts and socks for Watford game rather than usual white.. and no one knows why
ARSENAL have opted for an unusual kit against Watford at Vicarage Road.
The Gunners have ditched their usual white shorts and socks and instead went for red.
Fans have been left baffled by today's appearance and took to Twitter to understand why.
One supporter posted: "Red shorts make Arsenal look like an unlicensed version of themselves in a mobile game."
Another wrote: "Just tuned in …..Why are the Arsenal shorts red? It's weird."
A third tweeted: "These red shorts are not Arsenal heritage mannnn."
This fan said: "Whats up with the red shorts Arsenal?! Looks weird!"
And that Arsenal faithful had the following theory: "They’re listed on Arsenal website as ‘Alternate Home Shorts’ so it’s probably contractual to encourage sales."
