We are proud to present our new adidas away kit for the 2022/23 season in celebration of our passionate supporters in the ‘Little Islingtons’ in the United States and around the world.
Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Italy – in cities across the United States these cultural outposts are everywhere. During our pre-season tour, we’re celebrating every ‘Little Islington’ the millions of Gooners who live in America call home, the passion and commitment of our overseas supporters, and the strong connection Gooners everywhere feel to the club, no matter where they are in the world.
Our away kit launch film heroes Aston Mack, the inspirational founder of the Orlando Freedom Fighters. Aston came to prominence at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Orlando wearing an Arsenal shirt in July 2020. Afterwards he spoke powerfully about how the shirt filled him with strength and pride, saying no one ever brings up his race when he puts on his Arsenal shirt, because as soon as he’s wearing the badge, he’s a Gooner.
Speaking on his connection to our shirt, Aston, said:
“As a proud Orlando Gooner, to me, the Arsenal jersey means strength, solidarity and pride. When I wear the jersey, it takes me to another world. I feel protected, I feel connected, I feel part of a bigger community. I’m proud of Arsenal for presenting what our jersey means to people like me. It’s more than a jersey, it’s a representation of home and family, no matter where we’re from or where we live.”
Our new all-black kit will be worn on pitch for the first time on Wednesday 20 July, when our men’s team face Orlando City in our opening match of the FC Series.
The new kit combines a bronze cannon badge and bronze metallic trims with an all over AFC graphic inspired by the Arsenal lettering fans pass on their way to Emirates Stadium on matchdays. The shirt is partnered with black shorts and socks and will be available in both authentic and replica versions in men’s and women’s fit, as well as a youth kit which will be available for fans to purchase from today.
