Overview

  • Arsenal will wear an all-white kit at home for the first time in their 138-year history when they host Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
  • The usual Arsenal red-and-white home strip will be “drained of red” as part of the club’s campaign against knife crime and youth violence.
  • This is the third year in a row that Arsenal have worn a “No More Red” kit, but the first time they have done so in a home match.
  • As part of the campaign, Arsenal and kit manufacturers Adidas are investing in more safe spaces to play football in Islington.
  • The all-white shirts will not be available to purchase but a “bespoke community T-shirt” will go on sale for £30, with the money raised going towards the campaign’s charity partners.
