  What a load of rubbish... No, really, Arsenal's new kit is made out of recycled waste...
  

   

  

  Deep purple: Alex Song, Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Wojciech Szczesny parade the new kit

  

  

  Wing men: Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain model the new away strip, which is likely to split opinion

   

   

   

   

  It's official... Arsenal's new away kit is a load of rubbish.
  

  The Gunners have unveiled their striking purple and black hooped design - along with a garish bright pink goalkeeper's strip - and revealed that each set of shirt and shorts has been made using up to 13 recycled plastic water bottles. 

  The kit - modelled by Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alex Song, Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Wojciech Szczesny - is manufactured from Nike's ground-breaking recycled polyester, making it their most environmentally friendly kit ever produced, reducing energy consumption by up to 30 per cent compared to traditional polyester.

  While Arsene Wenger's men will no doubt be applauded for doing their bit to help the environment, the reaction to their unusual choice of colour remains to be seen.
  

  It's certainly a far cry from the traditional yellow away kit associated with so many Arsenal triumphs over the years, including the one worn by Michael Thomas when he scored a last-gasp title-winning strike at Anfield in 1989.

  All-White Hart Lane: Spurs unveil 80s inspired strip...using entire first-team
  

  

  Team game: Tottenham's first team squad unveiled the new home kit, including Rafael Van der Vaart (fourth left) and Luka Modric (fifth left)

   

  

   

  

  All-white for a first try: American designers Under Armour have taken over from Puma in designing the Tottenham kits

   

   

  With the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas and the signings of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jan Vertonghen, Tottenham may just be one step closer to bringing back the title winning days of the 1960s.
  

  But it’s the 1980s that seem to be in the minds of the north London club judging by their new home strip - which as seen below is worn by the entire first team.
  

  New designers, Under Armour have unveiled the new home kit for the 2012/13 season - which is modelled mainly by Michael Dawson, Scott Parker and Kye Walker - featuring grey trim that closely matches the strips worn in a decade where the club won two FA Cups and the UEFA Cup.
  

  White shorts also feature on the home kit, which apart from 2007/08, appear on the domestic home strip for the first time since 1987.

  Gareth Bale, Walker and Dawson were on hand to reveal the club’s more traditional navy blue away number but there is no sign of want-away midfielder Luka Modric or Rafael van der Vaart on the main promotion of the the strips.
  

  The Croatian international, who is valued at £35million, is the subject of interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid with Villas-Boas confirming this week he would sell the 26-year-old providing the asking price is met.
