Arsenal Women have been blazing a trail in the game for decades, and the Gunners are now proud to present the first-ever collaboration between adidas by Stella McCartney and a women’s football team.
Designed to celebrate Arsenal Women on and off the pitch, the collection is bold, expressive and made to be seen. The 10-piece range features an adidas by Stella McCartney full zip hoody, an adidas by Stella McCartney tight and an exclusive colourway of the adidas by Stella McCartney Ultraboost 22.
To complete the range there is a gender-neutral pre-match jersey which will be worn by our women’s and men’s teams. It will be worn for the first time during the warm-up to the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The men’s team will also wear the gender-neutral pre-match jersey when they play in their Premier League fixture away at Crystal Palace on April 4.
The collection features a distinctive mystery blue and scarlet red fused with a modern oversized leopard graphic synonymous with one of the world’s most iconic designers. With sustainable innovation core to the creation process, the pieces are made with organic cotton and made in part with recycled materials, continuing the partnership’s ambition to help end plastic waste.
Vivianne Miedema, who earlier this month became the first WSL player to reach 100 goal contributions, said, “It’s great to have a collection created for our team, and even more so that Stella McCartney has designed it. The designs are amazing, and I can’t wait to wear the pre-match jersey on the pitch as we get into such an important time in the season.”
Stella McCartney said, “As the most decorated English women’s football club, Arsenal Women is made up of incredible athletes, so to be able to celebrate them – especially in a year that is so pivotal for women in sport – is incredibly special. We’re so excited to continue our journey into the world of football by creating our first travel wear collection for a team.”
“Following our initial expansion into football last year with the design of the Predator Freak vegan boot, we’re once again staying true to adidas by Stella McCartney’s DNA of pushing boundaries in consciously crafted performance wear. I love that we have fused statement leopard print – an iconic adidas by Stella McCartney graphic – with distinctive colours to truly bring the two worlds of fashion and football together in an authentic way.”
“We hope this collection inspires both current and the future generations of athletes as they make their mark on and off the pitch.”
