Arsenal and Adidas have announced the launch of a custom away kit for the women’s team from famed designer Stella McCartney.
The kit will debut on October 6 for Arsenal’s Women’s Super League clash against Manchester United, while the Arsenal men’s team will wear it during warm-ups for its Premier League match against Manchester City two days later.
This season will be the first time that Arsenal’s women’s team will wear a separate kit to the men.
“I’m so proud to continue the story with Arsenal by creating this bespoke capsule for the women’s team,” McCartney said in a release from Adidas.
“I love that the away jersey taps into the exciting intersection of fashion and football through its elevated geometric print and captivating hues – with technical performance materials at the core. It’s important that both players and fans alike can playfully express themselves as they move on and off the pitch, and we hope this bold, new collection can play a part in that.”
