Drawing inspiration from the patterns, colours, and motifs found amongst the iconic East Stand of Highbury, the away jersey is a literal reference of the marble within it and the podium upon which the statue of iconic former manager, Herbert Chapman rests.

Whilst retaining a clean and versatile aesthetic, the shirt has a bespoke, hand-drawn design which uses the colours off white, maroon, and black - and the natural pattern of the marble - to represent the details of the marble halls that saw Arsenal lift the league title thirteen times.

The new away jersey will be worn for the first time on the 22nd of August, when Arsenal Women take on PSG in the quarter-final of the UEFA Women's Champions League.

"Arsenal's place in North London is synonymous with the club's move to Highbury in 1913. Quite simply, it was the birthplace of the modern club," said James Webb, Designer at adidas.

"We wanted to take the community through design back to Highbury's halls, to reminisce via a pattern that speaks to the significance of this chapter of the club's history."

"Importantly for this jersey, we wanted to bring these echoes of Highbury into Emirates Stadium, to a new generation of fans, and to the modern player, all via a jersey that fuses the marble style with the latest performance innovations for the 2021 athlete".
