Arsenal Unveils 2025-26 Lightning Bolt Inspired Away Kit

Arsenal has unveiled their new away kit for the 2025-26 season, drawing inspiration from the Royal Arsenal Gatehouse lightning bolt. The kit features dark blue base colors and a bright jagged graphic, reminiscent of the iconic 1995-96 'lightning strike' design.

Historical Inspiration

The lightning motif on the kit pays homage to the coat of arms on the Royal Arsenal Gatehouse building in Woolwich, dating back to 1828. This design element has become a recurring theme in Arsenal's kit history, with nods to past iconic jerseys like the 'bruised banana' and the navy and teal zigzag third kit.

New Design Elements

The modern lightning visual in the 2025-26 kit features a two-tone 'bolt' that gives the shirt a metallic shimmer. The dark navy base is accentuated with bold red trim, providing a striking contrast.

Debut and Showcase

The Gunners will showcase their new away kit during their pre-season tour in Asia, with the first appearance set for the match against AC Milan at Singapore's National Stadium on July 23. The kit is a fusion of historical significance and contemporary design, aiming to resonate with fans and players alike.
