Brand story
When Arsenal was founded by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, they had no kits. Nottingham Forest donated a set of red shirts, and the color stuck. Herbert Chapman later added the white sleeves in the 1930s to make players more visible to each other. It represents a brand with a deep industrial heritage and a focus on beautiful, technical play.
