Arsenal have revealed their new 2026/27 away kit, inspired by the legendary 1991 'bruised banana' design but with a modern blue twist. The shirt, designed by adidas, features the club’s crest and sponsors in yellow, along with red details on the collar and sleeves. This comes after Arsenal secured the Premier League title last season with 85 points, finishing seven points ahead of Manchester City.
What’s different in this year’s design?
The 2026/27 away kit keeps the diagonal stripes of the original 1991 shirt but swaps the traditional yellow for a bold blue. The adidas logo, Emirates sponsor, and Arsenal crest remain in yellow, while red accents on the collar and sleeves give it a fresh look. The design celebrates a classic while offering something new for fans.
Why this kit matters for Arsenal
Arsenal’s kit launches are always a big deal, and this one is no exception. The 1991 'bruised banana' shirt is iconic, and the blue version brings a modern feel while honoring the past. After a dominant Premier League season-winning 26 games, drawing seven, and losing just five-this kit represents a mix of tradition and ambition as the team looks ahead to more success.
What’s next for Arsenal?
The Gunners will wear their new away kit in their first home match against Chelsea on September 6, 2026. After ending last season with five straight wins, including a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, Arsenal will aim to start the new campaign strong. The kit’s release adds to the excitement as fans prepare for the season ahead.
