Nod To The Past
The 2025/26 away kit pays homage to Arsenal’s past with a nod to the 1995/96 season, a period when the club enjoyed success under George Graham. The design features a striking black base with vibrant red and green accents, echoing the bold patterns of that era. According to FourFourTwo, the kit includes a repeating geometric print inspired by the club’s gothic ‘A’ crest, a motif famously showcased on the 1990/91 league-winning shirt at Highbury. This retro touch has been reimagined with a modern twist, featuring adidas’ signature three stripes in red across the shoulders, complemented by white logos and the iconic cannon emblem.

Style
Functionality meets style with the incorporation of adidas HEAT.RDY technology, designed to enhance player comfort, fit, and moisture management. The authentic version of the kit uses structured mesh fabric in key areas and 3D-engineered material in the nape for improved ventilation, while the AEROREADY version, available to supporters, integrates recycled materials for sustainability. This blend of performance and eco-consciousness aligns with Arsenal’s commitment to innovation, as outlined on their official website, where the launch was accompanied by a film featuring players’ heartbeats set to a special musical composition.
Signings
The kit’s unveiling coincides with a transformative transfer window for Arsenal, who have already secured Chelsea’s Noni Madueke (£52m), Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi (£60m), Brentford’s Christian Norgaard (£15m), and Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5m). The new away kit, available for purchase now via Arsenal’s online store, is expected to be showcased during the club’s pre-season friendlies against Milan, Newcastle, Tottenham, Villarreal, and Athletic Bilbao, starting this Saturday in Asia.
