Paying homage to the club’s prolific “Art Deco” period in the 1930/40s, adidas launch the Arsenal 20/21 home shirt, and it’s set to debut this Sunday against Watford as well as being worn again at Wembley on 1 August in the FA Cup final.
Following up last season’s banger was never going to be an enviable task, but adidas have managed to be equal to it, producing another stunning home shirt for Arsenal for the 20/21 season. Paying homage to Arsenal’s geometric crest which the club used from 1936 – 1949, the chevron graphic on the home jersey is inspired by the “A” within. It is also a nod to the layout of the tiling on the floors of the East Stand’s famous marble halls – the historical home of Arsenal before its 2006 move to the Emirates Stadium.
The back-neck sign off also references the original crest, with the chevrons facing both East and West, representing the past and present of the club’s iconic Cannon emblem. A dark shade of red is used throughout the kit to celebrate the club’s heritage, something which is synonymous with Arsenal and rooted in its DNA.
Having already seen the club’s pre-match jersey, anthem jacket and training range for the 20/21 season, we now wait with relish to see what the Three Stripes have in store for the away and third shirts, but if this offering is anything to go by then we should be in for a treat.
