50 Years of Arsenal: A Look Back at the Club's Iconic Kits

The Early Years (1960-1980)

Arsenal's first kit was a simple affair, consisting of a red shirt with white sleeves and shorts. This design was inspired by the club's nickname, "The Gunners," and remained largely unchanged for the first two decades of the club's existence.

In 1960, Arsenal introduced a new kit that featured a white shirt with red sleeves and collar. This design was inspired by the Brazilian national team, which had just won the World Cup. The white shirt quickly became a favorite among fans, and it has been worn by the club on and off ever since.

The 1980s and 1990s

The 1980s and 1990s were a time of great change for Arsenal. The club won its first major trophy in 1989, and it went on to win several more trophies in the following years. During this time, Arsenal also adopted a new kit design that featured a red shirt with white sleeves and a blue collar. This design was inspired by the club's crest, and it has been worn by the club ever since.

The 2000s and Beyond

In the 2000s, Arsenal introduced a new kit that featured a red shirt with white sleeves and a yellow collar. This design was inspired by the club's away kit from the 1970s. The yellow collar was a controversial addition, but it quickly became a popular feature of the kit.

In 2019, Arsenal introduced a new kit that featured a red shirt with white sleeves and a black collar. This design was inspired by the club's home kit from the 1990s. The black collar was a nod to the club's history, and it was well-received by fans.

The Future of Arsenal's Kit

Arsenal's kit is constantly evolving, and it is difficult to say what the future holds for the club's iconic uniform. However, one thing is for sure: Arsenal's kit will continue to be a source of pride for fans around the world.
