Arsenal away jersey explained

By drawing influence from the design traditions of the continent, Arsenal is commemorating its relationship with its African supporters.

This shirt, created by Labrum London founder Foday Dumbuya, features the classic pan-African colors of black, red, and green, accented by a dramatic white zig-zag motif.

Together, these hues and cultural signals paint a picture of our history and current ties to the African diaspora in London and beyond, highlighting the rich cultural legacy both within the squad and among their fan base.

The shirt has a simple black background, but a liberal amount of colorful embellishments bring it to life.

The shoulders and collar include striking red-and-green logos and embellishments, while the sleeves and sides of the torso feature a striking white zig-zag pattern that extends to the shorts.
