Arsenal have thrown it back to the 90s with a collection from adidas that sees an iconic kit from the club’s Highbury era reissued. The Gunners entered the Premier League era with some legendary players in their ranks and with a stunning shirt on their back. Said jersey is being made available once more, with fans given an opportunity to embrace north London culture.
Throwback to start of the Premier League era
The Arsenal Bring-Back collection “celebrates the unforgettable 1992–1994 home kit, a design that became synonymous with a new era at Highbury – blending football heritage, bold design, and cultural significance”. The Gunners were successful around that time, savouring an FA Cup and League Cup double in 1992-93 – with Sheffield Wednesday being beaten in the final of both competitions.
The latest offering from kit supplier adidas is a “true one-to-one recreation” of a shirt that will forever hold a special place in the hearts and minds of Arsenal supporters around the world. Said jersey is “built for both lifelong Gooners and a new generation embracing vintage football culture” as the drop “taps into the growing cultural movement around retro sportswear – where authenticity, exclusivity and style meet”.

The famous shirt, which once dominated the scene at Arsenal’s former Highbury home, features “a solid red base with vertical tonal stripes woven into the fabric, paired with classic white sleeves finished with red and navy adidas three-stripe banding”. The V-neck collar “comes in a thick white base trimmed in red and navy, staying faithful to the original early ‘90s design”.
The adidas Equipment logo sits beneath the collar and alongside the JVC sponsor in a bold white box — with “both brought back with authentic 3D puff print branding, replicating the finer details that made the original kit so distinctive”.
Stars of past & present help to launch collection
Alongside the iconic shirt, Arsenal have also teamed up with adidas to deliver matching hoodie and track pants, “channeling the unmistakable early ‘90s Arsenal aesthetic both on and off the pitch”. There is also a graphic tee and special edition adidas Gazelle sneaked that is “inspired by the era’s terrace culture”. The shoe features “a grey upper, navy and red three stripes, and ‘Arsenal’ in gold lettering on the side — offering fans a timeless silhouette that seamlessly connects heritage football style with everyday wear”.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who was a superstar for the Gunners in the early 90s en route to setting a new all-time goal record for the club, has helped to launch the Bring-Back Collection alongside current players Victor Gyokeres, Jurrien Timber, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Katie McCabe and Kyra Cooney-Cross.

The Bring-Back Collection will be available online at adidas.com and select retailers from October 23, 2025. Three activation events will be taking place across London on the matchday of November 26.
Fans will be given the chance to meet Wright, Martin Keown and Ray Parlour – three players that graced George Graham’s squad when the Premier League was introduced in 1992. In the present, Mikel Arteta is hoping that the Gunners – with another adidas jersey on their back – can land a first top-flight title since the fabled ‘Invincibles’ of 2003-04.
In the women’s game, Lionesses such as Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly and Beth Mead are looking to successfully defend the Champions League crown that they captured last season, while also competing for major honours in the WSL and domestic cup competitions.
