Introducing the 2024/25 Home Kit
Today, adidas and Arsenal reveal their new home kit for the 2024/25 season. This kit places the club’s iconic cannon at the heart of a timeless design, which celebrates the rich heritage of The Gunners.
A Modern Twist on Tradition
The traditional colors of red and white, combined with a slick navy addition, create a modern look. The cannon features outside the crest on the home kit for the first time since the 1989/90 season. Historically seen on Arsenal's away and third kits, the cannon stands as a timeless symbol of Arsenal's history, deeply connected to the club since its inception.
Intricate Design Elements
Featuring a minimalist design with a red and white base, the jersey uses a unique structured fabric for a textured feel. Navy-blue detailing on the adidas three-stripes and side panels seamlessly connects the shirt and shorts.
Debut Match for the New Kit
The new kit will first be worn by Arsenal Women when they face Brighton in the final match of the WSL season on Saturday, May 18.
Symbolism and Aesthetic
For the 24/25 season, the iconic symbol will feature across home, away, and third kits for one season only. This fresh aesthetic acts as a compass, guiding the teams forward in their pursuit of progress.
Insights from Arsenal Forward Players

In development, we revisited the archive and reviewed years of design and collaboration, the core elements of the club’s identity to players and supporters. So, this season is all about the cannon, the role it plays in the legacy of the club and reintroducing it to a fresh generation of supporters and players.”
