The Kit

The away kit is built for the road: different colors, same loyalty.

Arsenal jerseys carry North London's red and white — 13 league titles, the Invincibles of 2003-04, and the Emirates-era style of the Premier League's most elegant club. From Herbert Chapman's WM revolution to Wenger's foreigners-changed-everything era to Arteta's young guns, the Gunners have always played football the right way.

The Practical Bits

  • No. 9 and Nicolas Anelka's name come heat-pressed on the back, matchday-ready out of the box
  • Quick-drying fabric wicks moisture away, comfortable through 90 minutes and everything after
  • Matchday design as worn by the squad
  • All-polyester build that survives the washing machine better than most things in your drawer

Fit: true to size. If you're between sizes and like room, go up one.

Care: thirty degrees, inside out, on the line. The colors and the name set both outlast the season that way.

Who is it for? The matchday regular and the sofa supporter alike — the shirt doesn't check where you watch. What you are getting: the away shirt in Arsenal colors, built for everyday wear. It layers under a jacket for night kickoffs and stands on its own in the summer.

Quick Answers

Is the No. 9 already printed on the back?

Yes, the full name set (Nicolas Anelka, No. 9) is on the back when it arrives.

What's the difference between this and the player-issue version?

The player version runs slim and athletic; this fan cut is relaxed and true to size. Same crest, same colors, half the fuss.

Is this the current shirt or a retro reissue?

It's a reissue of the 1997 design on a modern fan-version cut — classic look, today's sizing.

Do football shirts run big or small?

This one runs true to size — check the size chart on this page against your usual t-shirt and you're set.

FAQ

Can I personalize a jersey with a custom name and number, or choose a star player?

Yes, absolutely! We offer premium, official-style personalization. You can select your favorite star player from the current roster, a past legend, or type your own name and preferred number. Please carefully double-check your spelling and number choices, as custom-printed jerseys (personalized names/numbers) cannot be returned or exchanged due to sizing preferences.

What is the main difference between the Fan Version and the Player/Authentic Version?

  • Fan Version (Regular Fit): Tailored for casual everyday wear and comfort in the stands. It features embroidered logos/crests and a slightly looser, standard cut. We recommend ordering your normal size.

  • Player/Authentic Version (Athletic Fit): The exact same high-performance kits worn by the athletes on the pitch. It features a slim, body-contouring fit, lightweight heat-pressed badges, and advanced breathable ventilation meshes. If you prefer a more relaxed fit in this version, we highly recommend sizing up one size.

How should I wash and care for my jersey to keep it in perfect condition?

To maximize the lifespan of the premium heat-pressed sponsor graphics, player names, and sleeve patches, we strongly recommend washing your jersey inside out in cold water using a gentle cycle or hand-washing. Always hang dry. Never tumble dry, use bleach, or iron directly over the printed numbers and vinyl graphics.

How long will shipping take, and will I be able to track my match-day kit?

Orders are typically processed and customized within 1-3 business days. Once shipped, our standard trackable express air delivery takes 7-15 business days worldwide. You will automatically receive a dispatch notification email containing a real-time tracking link to monitor your parcel's route straight to your doorstep.

What is your return policy if the jersey doesn't fit me properly?

We want you to wear your team colors with absolute confidence. We stand behind our gear with a 30-Day Hassle-Free Return & Exchange Policy for all standard blank kits or pre-printed player stock. If you need a different size, simply contact our support team within 30 days of delivery. Please ensure that all original tags remain attached and the item is unworn and unwashed.
