Hundreds of thousands of Arsenal supporters descended on north London to celebrate the club's first Premier League title in 22 years, bringing a diverse array of fashion choices that reflected their individual styles and devotion to the team.
Among the standout outfits was Shane, a 47-year-old memorabilia collector known online as Highbury Gunner JVC. He wore a bespoke jacket made from curtains by designer Joe Brim, complete with an Arsenal medallion and watch, along with yellow customised Dr Martens. 'The only thing I haven't got are the underpants. Everything else is Arsenal,' he said.
Fans travelled from across the globe, including Liv Samuels from Orlando, Florida, who wore an Arsenal badge-embossed Hawaiian shirt, and Hallin Li from South Korea, who carried a red tote bag from the Arsenal Women's collaboration with Good Squish. Collin Ross Robinson from Atlanta, Georgia, sported a maroon 2006 away kit, a favourite retro top among attendees.
The parade route stretched five miles from Seven Sisters Road to Upper Street, with metal barriers lining the streets. The air filled with the sound of party horns, beeping cars, and blaring music, while red smoke from flares drifted overhead. Riders on Lime bikes wore sweatshirts from streetwear collective A-Places+Faces, and many fans leaving Finsbury Park station donned the derby scarf by A-Cold-Wall.
Social media buzzed with parade-day fashion trends, with TikTok and Instagram creators posting videos titled 'Which fit combo are you wearing to the parade?' The club's diverse fanbase, reflecting Islington's multicultural community, showcased their dedication through jerseys, badges, belts, and custom get-ups, including a custom-made Arsenal thobe inspired by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Sustainable fashion also featured, with 26-year-old Aman Bains wearing a piece from a Bristol-based zero-waste brand. Robbie John Allchin wore a raving jacket adorned with badges collected over decades, saying the practice stems from 'spirit of roots and culture and that’s what Arsenal is for me.'
