Arsenal have dropped their new third kit for the 2025/26 season, and it’s a classy tribute to the Gunners’ former home, marking 20 years since the club left Highbury for the Emirates Stadium.

The new design blends off-white engineered fabric with rich red and gold details, channelling the Art Deco architecture and heritage of the iconic north London ground. A crisp white polo collar, cuff accents and retro adidas Trefoil branding give the shirt an unmistakable throwback feel, while the historic cannon crest seals the vintage look in style.

Inside the collar is a graphic of Highbury’s distinctive façade – a nod to a stadium still revered by supporters, even two decades on.

“We all know how much Highbury means to our supporters, it’s part of the club’s identity,” said defender Jurrien Timber. “Wearing this kit is a way of honouring that history while inspiring the next generation of Arsenal fans.”

To mark the launch, Arsenal and adidas produced a short film set in a gallery space inspired by Highbury’s marble halls. The jersey is treated like a timeless artwork, with model Kai Isaiah Jamal, rapper Pa Salieu, and club legend Freddie Ljungberg all appearing.

The following day, current stars Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Timber visited the exhibit alongside icons David Seaman and Rachel Yankey, linking past, present and future.

Available now via adidas and Arsenal’s official stores, as well as through select global retailrs, the Gunners new third kit is one that speaks to nostalgia – but wears like the future.
