It's the utter tone deafness that makes me laugh. Making their fans angry on the pitch in the league so announce another kit, or in this instance retro shirts from when they won a league title to remind them all of just how bad they are doing now. Not only promoting it but using a player that cares more about his image than learning how to throw and dolling up their "star" who plays like he can't be bothered anymore, while raking in a fortune (reading back I note that it doesn't narrow it down so in this case PEA)

The conspiracy ranter on Twitter that was mentioned in a previous page here claims Arsenal's marketing and social media teams aren't Arsenal fans, which means they're disconnected enough to not care about the optics when they push campaigns like this. It makes sense when they do shit like this.

This little exchange in the twitter comments cracked me up...clueless :D

I had a job that involved a lot of contact with clubs a few years ago. It was a bit of a shock to me that most people who work at football clubs don't support the club. I had a meeting with two guys at Celtic (Marketing and IT Managers) who turned out to both be Rangers supporters.

I thought it would be pretty obvious that the club aren’t going to give a fuck who you support, it’s how qualified and how good you are at your job that matters.

95% of the playing and coaching staff aren’t Arsenal fans, not sure why it would it be any different in the marketing department?

It's obvious if you give it thirty seconds thought. But I never had given it thirty seconds thought so it came as a mild surprise.

If I was writing an epic twitter rant about what was wrong at my club I probably would have given it some thought and not assumed the Arsenal PR team should be entirely made up of Arsenal supporters.

To be fair, I'm not sure that the muppets on AFTV are even Arsenal fans. How else would you explain their apparent determination to make Arsenal a laughing stock? :D
