The History of the Arsenal Shirt
The Arsenal shirt is one of football’s most iconic kits, with a history dating back to the club’s founding in 1886. Initially, Arsenal’s first kit was a simple dark red shirt with white shorts, inspired by Nottingham Forest, who helped supply their first kits.
A defining moment in the shirt’s evolution came in 1930 under manager Herbert Chapman, who introduced the now-famous red shirt with white sleeves. This design has become a lasting symbol of the club.
In the 1970s, the shirt began to feature sponsor logos, starting with JVC in 1981. Over the decades, the shirt has seen various design updates and technological advancements, but the core red-and-white identity remains a constant, representing Arsenal’s rich history and tradition.
