Leaked images of Arsenal's new Adidas away kit for the 2026-27 season have surfaced online, drawing praise from fans. According to Footy Headlines, the shirt is a 'reverse' version of the iconic 1991-93 away shirt, which first introduced the famous bruised banana pattern. The colour scheme features 'collegiate navy' with red and yellow accents, and incorporates the trefoil logo for a nostalgic touch.
Release Date and Fan Reactions
The Arsenal 2026-27 away shirt is set for release on Thursday, July 23, 2026, as reported by Footy Headlines. Supporters have already expressed excitement over Adidas's recent training kit designs, with one translation reading: “The orange and black kit is absolutely incredible. What Adidas has been offering Arsenal for several years is top-tier stuff. Especially when you've been stuck with Puma...”
Home Kit Details
Arsenal unveiled their new Adidas home kit in May 2025. The design features subtle visual references drawn from Emirates Stadium, including a bespoke crewneck collar inspired by the sweeping rooflines and subtle red patterning across the body. The home shirt is completed with white shorts featuring red detailing and red socks, creating a balanced on-pitch look. The kit celebrates 20 years at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal did not wear the new home kit for their final home game of the 2024-25 season against Burnley, nor the Champions League final penalty shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners are expected to debut the home kit during pre-season.
Potential Early Debut for Away Kit
The away kit may appear first, as Arsenal face Girona on August 1, 2025, at Estadi Montilivi in their first pre-season fixture. When the two sides met in the Champions League during the 2024-25 campaign, Arsenal wore their away kit to avoid a colour clash, so the same is expected again.
