Arsenal legend Nwankwo Kanu, said the club’s new away shirt design is a celebration of African heritage and he can’t wait to see the players wear it during the 2024/25 season campaign.
The Gunners Thursday unveiled the all-new away shirt drawing inspiration from the club’s African supporters. The kit features a black base which is punctuated by bold African patterns which begin at the armpits and flow down the sides on to the shorts.
A mixture of red and green accents across the shoulder stripes, adidas logo and cannon crest stand out and signify the bond between Arsenal and their African supporters.
“I’m so proud to represent my club and my heritage through this design from Labrum London,” said Kanu, who made 197 appearances for Arsenal between 1999 and 2004.
“It’s such a nice shirt. I love how the patterns and colours represent our connection to players of African descent and our supporters in our communities in Islington and around the world.
“It’s great to see us celebrating this unique connection with such a stylish design. I’m excited to see our teams wearing it on the road next season.”
