Arsenal release striking new green adidas third kit as Kai Havertz & Jurrien Timber star in kebab shop video.
Arsenal have presented its eye-catching new third jersey for the 2023/24 season. The Adidas green design was inspired by the 1982–83 season.
With a striking offering that will be worn by both their men’s and women’s teams in the 2023–24 season, the Gunners have given a major homage to the past while completely embracing the present.
The north London giants claim to have “reinvented a cult classic fit for the present day” with their new kits, which include a “mineral green” foundation contrasted by blue shoulders, a “off-white stylized crest and sponsor logos,” and navy shorts.
The kit has been launched alongside a film produced by the club that “brings continental style to the streets of Islington”, with the likes of Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz and Leah Williamson starring in a production that features a kebab shop, ice creams and other notable landmarks near Emirates Stadium.
Inigo Turner, Design Director for Football Apparel at adidas, has told the Gunners’ official website of the retro third kit design: “Given the depth of Arsenal’s kit archive, looking to the past is always an inspiring place to start when designing something for the supporters of today. The iconic green away shirt from the 1982/83 season was a one-off and this modern-day expression of this classic blends fashion and football seamlessly. As these worlds continue to collide, we’ve looked to create a kit that is, first and foremost, primed for performance offering the best for the athlete, while also being an eye-catching fashion statement that supporters are proud to wear at matches and away from the stadium.”
Europe never looked so good 😮💨
