Arsenal unveil new Africa-inspired away kit for 2024/25 season

Arsenal have unveiled their all-new away shirt for the 2024/25 season, drawing inspiration from the club's African supporters.

Collaborating with British African group Labrum London, the kit features a black base which is punctuated by bold African patterns which begin at the armpits and flow down the sides on to the shorts.

A mixture of red and green accents across the shoulder stripes, adidas logo and cannon crest stand out and signify the bond between Arsenal and their African supporters.

Foday Dumbuya, founder of Labrum London, said: "As a second-generation immigrant growing up in London, I watched some incredible Arsenal players with African heritage. These players were amazing role models to me, playing the game in a beautiful way, but also representing the wider community that I connect with.

"Arsenal as a club has such a strong connection to this community, so it is an incredibly proud moment for me to have collaborated on this design with them."

Nigerian icon Nwankwo Kanu, who made 197 appearances for Arsenal between 1999 and 2004, added: "I'm so proud to represent my club and my heritage through this design from Labrum London. It's such a nice shirt. I love how the patterns and colours represent our connection to players of African descent and our supporters in our communities in Islington and around the world.

"It's great to see us celebrating this unique connection with such a stylish design. I'm excited to see our teams wearing it on the road next season."

Alongside the new kit is the release of the Arsenal x adidas x Labrum London collaboration, which includes two jackets, a tee, a jumper and a track pant.

The gear can be purchased at Arsenal's club shop, select adidas retail stores and the Labrum London store.
