The new Arsenal FC home kit is a celebration of the club’s core symbol, as they reveal their cannon-fronted home kit for the first time since 1989/90.
The debut of the new home kit is accompanied by a film, exploring the passion that is invoked by the iconic Arsenal cannon. Starring the first-team stars, the launch film features the players in significant landmarks across Emirates Stadium – from the electric North Bank to the home changing room – and explores what the famous symbol means to both the players and supporters alike.
The home kit is crafted for performance and to provide the players with the confidence to play under pressure, this lightweight jersey features the latest in adidas technology and is created in close collaboration with the Arsenal FC men’s and women’s teams.
Sam Handy, SVP of Product and Design at adidas said, “We anchored this season in the iconography of Arsenal – and there is no more iconic symbol for Arsenal than the cannon. In development, we revisited the archive and reviewed years of design and collaboration, the core elements of the club’s identity to players and supporters.”
“So, this season is all about the cannon, the role it plays in the legacy of the club and reintroducing it to a fresh generation of supporters and players.”
Arsenal FC forward, Gabriel Martinelli said, “Since joining Arsenal, it has been clear to me how important the cannon is, to this great club and our supporters. It epitomises our spirit and we’re excited to wear it on the pitch with pride next season.”
Arsenal forward, Alessia Russo said, “I love the simplicity of this new kit – giving the cannon space to shine. We know how much it means to the supporters – so to have it front and centre of our home kit will fill us with confidence every time we step foot on the pitch.”
