The Bruised Banana, Flipped
The story of this kit is the reversal. adidas has taken the same zig-zag geometric pattern from the cult 1991-93 away shirt and swapped the colours around, replacing the original's yellow base with navy while keeping the design's energy intact. It's a shirt that split opinion when Arsenal first wore it in the early nineties and has since become one of the most requested throwbacks among supporters.
A Tribute to a Defining Era
Yellow now runs through the details instead, colouring the adidas Trefoil, the shoulder stripes, and the Arsenal cannon crest. Red trim on the collar and cuffs ties it back to the club's traditional colours, giving the shirt a fresh identity while keeping the nostalgia intact.
Design Details That Set It Apart
Every element on this shirt nods to the original, reworked rather than simply copied.
The Crew-Neck Collar and Trefoil Return
The crew-neck collar combines red, yellow, and navy in the same arrangement used around the sleeve cuffs. The adidas Trefoil logo sits on the chest, opposite the Arsenal cannon crest, a deliberate throwback since Arsenal first revived the Bruised Banana influence for their 2019/20 away kit.
Player Version Fit and Fabric
Built to match-grade standards, the Player Version has a slim athletic fit with a clean crew-neck silhouette, closer to the on-pitch shirt than a standard replica. Lightweight, breathable fabric keeps you cool whether you're playing, training, or wearing it matchday. Prefer a relaxed everyday cut? Size up, or check the Fan Version football jersey range for the same look with extra comfort.

How It Compares to the Home Kit
Where the 2026/27 home shirt marks 20 years since the move to Emirates Stadium, the away kit reaches further back, pulling its identity from the early 1990s instead. One celebrates a modern milestone, the other revives a cult classic. Together they give Arsenal one of its most story-driven kit collections in years.
Every Shirt Has a Story
The launch campaign, titled "Every Shirt Has a Story," features club legend Ian Wright alongside current stars Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori, and Chloe Kelly, with musician and lifelong Gooner Little Simz also involved. The films explore personal memories fans and players carry from wearing the shirt, tying the launch to the club's history rather than just the product itself.
Fans React: "The Banana Is Back, Reversed"
Reaction has been strong since the unveiling. Supporters are praising the navy reversal, the return of the zig-zag pattern, and the way the collar detailing ties back to the original design. Many are calling it one of the most anticipated Arsenal away kits in recent memory, arriving right as the club defends its Premier League title.
