Declan Rice, who alongside Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Arsenal Women stars – Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo appeared in the unveiling video, was astonished when he saw the jersey.

He said:

I love the look of our new away kit and we can’t wait to wear it for the first time in front of our supporters here in Singapore. Gooners all over the world give us a special energy.

We’re excited to take that with us into an exciting new season.

Elucidating on the new Arsenal away jersey, Juergen Rank, Senior Design Director at adidas said there was so much excitement creating the jersey. He explained that:

For this season’s away shirt we wanted to create something nostalgic, leaning on the lightning bolt graphic and reinterpreting it in a fresh and contemporary way for the modern era of Arsenal supporters. The pattern and navy colourway have become synonymous with some of the club’s most iconic shirts of the past, and we hope supporters of the club love it as much as we do.

We’re really excited to see it worn on-pitch and in the away stands this season

The Arsenal will wear the new jersey in their Asia tour of Singapore and Hong Kong in the next days as they face AC Milan, Newcastle United and city rivals, Tottenham Hotspurs.
