Arsenal star Beth Mead criticised Adidas as she claimed the club’s female players were not offered newly-released training kit.Arsenal and Adidas have been collaborating since 2019, producing wave after wave of iconic kits, training gear and leisurewear.This year is no different, with Arsenal dropping a new training range today.An advert for the kit was shared by the Arsenal Women Twitter account, accompanied by the caption: "New year, New training gear. Available now from Arsenal Direct."Mead, one of Arsenal’s star players this season, took issue with the post, revealing that the training kit had not been issued to her or her teammates."Would be nice if we actually got this training kit," she wrote on Twitter. Her post was shared widely but has since been deleted.Fans joined in on the criticism of Adidas, with one posting: "No women’s cuts and no women’s names/numbers available to purchase for this new training range, the women’s players themselves haven’t even received their training gear."But stick Leah Williamson in the promo and everything’s fixed right!".Sports journalist Josh Bunting agreed, writing: "Fair play to Beth Mead for tweeting Adidas, equal rights are so important in football, they deserve just as much as what the mens side get."It’s an absolute disgrace that they’ve been neglected with just simple basic training wear that, let’s face it, everybody can order."
