Building on their existing relationship together, adidas and Stella McCartney have unveiled the next chapter of their Arsenal collaboration, revealing the first away kit and travel range for Arsenal Women. The kit will be debuted on pitch on 6 October in the game against Manchester United.
Back in March 2022, adidas and Arsenal launched a special women’s collection in collaboration with Stella McCartney, with the 10-piece collection featuring a gender-neutral pre-match jersey for the women’s and men’s teams, which fused Arsenal’s club colours with a modern oversized leopard graphic synonymous with iconic designer. Now, the next step is taken in that developing collaboration, with the reveal of the first away kit with Stella McCartney for Arsenal Women.
The away kit arrives as part of a limited-edition eight-piece range, designed to support Arsenal Women both on and off the pitch. It includes a selection of structured silhouettes including a jersey, shorts and stylish travel wear pieces such as a full zip jacket with neon accents, track-style pants, and an oversized tee. As the hero piece of the collection though, the away shirt takes centre stage thanks to the fusion of fashion and football, combining geometric patterns with colour-blocking accents of halo pink and glow blue.
The away kit will be debuted on pitch on 8 October when Arsenal play Manchester United in the WSL and that match will be the first time the team will have worn a separate kit to the men. The men’s team will wear the gender-neutral jersey as a pre-match warm up top ahead of their league game with Manchester City at Emirates Stadium in the same month.
“Following the remarkable tournament in Australia, I’m so proud to continue the story with Arsenal by creating this bespoke capsule for the women’s team,” said Stella McCartney. “Designing for a team that truly embodies what it takes to be an athlete and inspire the next generation of footballers has been incredibly special.
I love that the away jersey taps into the exciting intersection of fashion and football through its elevated geometric print and captivating hues – with technical performance materials at the core. It’s important that both players and fans alike can playfully express themselves as they move on and off the pitch, and we hope this bold, new collection can play a part in that.”
Arsenal's new striker, Alessia Russo, who will be lining up against her former side in the new kit said: “It’s been an exciting summer for me, both with the move to Arsenal and reaching the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and now we’re back I am fully focused on my first season with the team. It’s so special to be marking this with a collection as playful and bold as this one. For me, football has always been about having fun and getting creative – it’s why I got into it as a young girl and it’s what inspires me today. I love that this collection represents that, and I can’t wait to wear the shirt with pride on match day.”
