A rich redcurrant shirt with gold trim, created to honour Arsenal’s early colours and to say goodbye to Highbury. It was class and sentiment rolled into one.

Daring and divisive, this electric blue-and-navy design featured zig-zag lightning bolts, unique in Premier League history.
Ian Wright was in lethal form in this shirt, and it’s associated with his flamboyance and goalscoring prowess. It’s since become one of the most sought-after retro kits for its sheer boldness.
3. 2003–04 O2 Home (Invincibles)
Red, white, and perfect. The O2-sponsored home kit of 2003–04 is the most iconic in Arsenal’s Premier League history, worn throughout the unbeaten league season.
This was Thierry Henry at his peak, with Robert Pirès and Gilberto Silva orchestrating midfield dominance. It’s the jersey of greatness, from that 5-0 win over Leeds to the clincher at White Hart Lane.
