Ray Parlour names recent Arsenal kit the worst ever as he claims even the infamous ‘bruised banana’ shirt wasn’t as bad
RAY PARLOUR has named the Arsenal third shirt from the 2014-15 season as the worst kit ever.
The Arsenal legend who is most famous for his time at the Emirates between 1992-2004 revealed what Gunners kit he disliked the most.
Parlour, 50, was a part of the golden years under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
During his 15 years at the club, the Essex boy had to play in many different shirts.
But in an exclusive interview with LuckyBlock.com, Parlour said a kit he did not play in was the worst he had seen.
He said: “Puma made some good kits back in their day, but they had some bad ones as well. Some shockers. Do you know what always sticks out in my mind?
“It was the third kit in 2014/15. It was a light blue one. That wasn’t a great kit at all.”
The four-time FA Cup champ had no affection for the shirt, which featured diagonal stripes in dark and sky blue with yellow edging.
However, the ex-midfielder went on to say the famous why the “bruised banana” kit of 1992 was his favourite Arsenal shirt.
Parlour continued: “Yeah I made my debut in that one.

“I always played in decent kits. The gold Nike one that we won the Premier League at Old Trafford in was always a special one.
“’I’ve still got a few at home. You always try to keep the best ones.”
The now-sports pundit left North London in 2004 and headed to Yorkshire to play for Middlesbrough for three seasons.
Parlour then spent his final professional playing years in Hull.
While he was at Arsenal he won the Premier League three times, and was nicknamed ‘The Romford Pele’.
He has since become a top pundit on talkSPORT.
