Arsenal unveil 2024-25 away kit with unique African influence

Arsenal have unveiled their away kit for the 2024-25 season.

The black shirt, designed by adidas, has been created in collaboration with Labrum London, a British African heritage brand, to reflect and pay tribute to the club’s ties to the African community in north London and abroad.

Traditional pan-African colours and designs featured include the red and green badges, sleeve and collar motifs as well as white zig-zags.

Furthermore, small specs of black across the kit represent an early form of currency in parts of Africa, Cowrie shells.

An array of Arsenal players from the men’s and women’s team have taken part in the unveiling including Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Alessia Russo and Leah Williamson.

A number of Arsenal stars have begun pre-season training ahead of the tour of the United States commencing on Sunday.

Bournemouth await in their first friendly in Los Angeles before matches against Manchester United and Liverpool. They then play Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon before kicking off their Premier League title bid at home to Wolves.
