South Africa, May 16th, 2025 – adidas and Arsenal today proudly unveil the Arsenal 2025-26 home shirt. The new shirt explores “The Heart of Arsenal”, using the human heart as a creative device to take supporters on a journey to the source of life behind the badge.
Starring a host of players from both the men’s and women’s team, the launch film reveals the players’ internal monologues and is set to the sound of their real heartbeats, with a special musical composition. As the club celebrates Arsenal in the Community’s 40th anniversary this year, the film also features young participants from a number of Arsenal’s local community programmes, including Premier League Kicks, Primary Stars and Football Plus – all of which use the power of football to develop and educate children and young people.
Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly said, “I love our new kit, it looks fresh – I’m excited to wear this in front of our incredible supporters. Their energy lifts us and when we step out in the shirt, we feel it more than ever.”
Arsenal’s Kim Little said, “Supporters are at the heart of everything we do, and this new kit connects to that so deeply. We carry our supporters with us, and they carry us with them, no matter where they are. They push us forward.”
Arsenal’s men’s, women’s and youth teams will take to the pitch in a kit that fuses cutting-edge performance materials and apparel technology alongside an emblem representing Arsenal’s past, with one of the most iconic crests in club history being integrated into the design.
Taken from the ‘Victoria Concordia Crescit’ crest, first seen on match day programmes in the 1949/50 season, the ‘A’ of ‘Arsenal’ is rendered in a Gothic font and features as a repeating print throughout the shirt. The gothic ‘A’ has grown to be synonymous with Arsenal’s identity, notably featuring on the classic 1990-91 league-winning home shirt worn at Highbury and is reimagined again today through the 2025-26 home kit.
Each authentic Arsenal 2025-26 home shirt uses adidas HEAT.RDY technology for improved comfort, fit and moisture management, including the incorporation of structured mesh fabric material in key areas and 3D engineered fabric in the nape to provide consistent ventilation. Supporters will also be able to enjoy the same design on the AEROREADY version of the Arsenal 2025-26 home shirt, which includes the incorporation of recycled materials.
The Arsenal 2025-26 home shirt is complemented by all-white home shorts with red detailing, and red socks featuring the same gothic ‘A’ as the shirt, completed with the adidas signature Three stripes.
Arsenal’s men’s team will wear the new 2025-26 shirt for the first time in their final game of the domestic league season against Newcastle United on May 18 at Emirates Stadium.
The adidas Arsenal 2025-26 Home Shirt is available to purchase now via selected adidas retail stores and adidas.co.za/soccer-jerseys.
