Arsenal have revealed a new kit for cup competitions ahead of their bow in the League Cup later this month.
The kit, which will also be worn for their Champions League campaign, is the same as that leaked on their own website just days ago.
It's not an unfamiliar colour combination for Gunners away kits - a dark blue number with white, gold and light blue stripes - but the description from the kit's manufacturer makes it all sound very grand.
"The new cup kit features a modern interpretation of a classic football sash, a diagonal stripe across the chest.

"PUMA’s new design however is modernised through the addition of more geometric stripes, chosen in the seasonal colours white, victory gold and capri breeze blue on an overall anthracite base."
Anthracite indeed.
Arsenal revealed their gold and navy blue away strip officially in Singapore, as they prepared for the new campaign with a pre-season tour to the Far East.
An enthusiastic bunch of local supporters turned out in force to see their heroes in the new shirts, including new signing Petr Cech, Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil.
The shirt had been 'leaked' throughout the summer, and the https://cdn.standardmedia.co.ke/images were, as it turned out, also legitimate.
It has a diamond pattern around the front and back with navy blue trim to accompany the solid gold shirt.
The goalkeeper kit is a darker offering, with two horizontal gold strikes across the top half of the shirt.
Their red home shirt is accompanied by the traditional white sleeves, with white shorts and socks.
The shirt also features red trimming down the sleeves, while the collar, which is buttoned, features a slight hint of gold.
It is the second Gunners' kit produced by Puma as part of their £30million-a-year deal, which began last year.
