Arsenal's 2026/27 Kits: Every Shirt Reviewed And Graded

Arsenal are one of only two clubs in Europe with all three 2026/27 kits already released, which makes them one of the few we can grade completely. The headline is that red, blue and yellow are back together across the wardrobe for the first time in a while, and that alone earns the season a lot of goodwill here. Below is every shirt, graded, plus the overall wardrobe grade.

The Home Shirt: A-

Red body, crisp white sleeves, a bespoke crewneck collar and faint red patterning across the body that references the Emirates rooflines, marking twenty years at the stadium.

The detail that makes it is the striping at the top of the sleeve, and the way the darker red plays against the lighter red gives this shirt a depth that most red kits never find. ESPN ranked it 21st of every Premier League shirt and noted that the stadium references are almost impossible to actually spot, which is fair, but the colour work is doing the heavy lifting anyway.

The one thing we would change: some blue somewhere. Arsenal's blue is one of the best secondary colours in the sport and there is none of it here.

Grade: A-

The Away Shirt: B+

Navy with yellow accents, a deliberate return to bruised-banana territory, debuted on July 31.

What we like most is that all three Arsenal colours are in play. A navy base with yellow on it, worn by a club whose primary is red, is the kind of thing that only works if the club has real history with those colours, and Arsenal do. Last season's away blue edges this one for us on the colour alone, but this is a strong shirt and a smart use of the archive.

Grade: B+

The Third Shirt: B+

Yellow, debuted on August 5, and finally back to red, blue and yellow together with a lightning-bolt motif drawn from the Royal Arsenal logo.

Arsenal in yellow as a change kit is one of the genuinely great looks in football and it has been away too long, so getting all three colours into a single shirt is the correct decision. Our only reservation is the shade of yellow itself, which is not quite the one we were hoping for. A slightly deeper, older gold would have landed harder.

Grade: B+

Arsenal's 2026/27 Wardrobe Grade

Three kits, all good, and no weak link, which is more than most clubs on the continent managed. Arsenal are also one of only two clubs in Europe with a complete wardrobe to judge, so this is a grade with nothing missing behind it.

The thing that does not show up in the numbers is that Arsenal's best decision this season was a wardrobe decision rather than a shirt decision. Bringing red, blue and yellow back and using all three across the set is worth more than any single kit here, and if we were grading intent rather than execution this would be higher.

Who Makes Arsenal's Kits?

adidas, who returned as Arsenal's supplier in 2019 and have made every kit since.

The Bottom Line

Arsenal have the joint-most complete wardrobe in Europe for 2026/27 and one of the better ones. The home shirt is the best of the three thanks to its two-tone red and the sleeve striping, and both change kits earn their place by putting red, blue and yellow back together. Wardrobe grade: B+.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Arsenal's 2026/27 kits?

Three shirts, all released. The home is red with white sleeves, a crewneck collar and faint body patterning referencing the Emirates rooflines. The away is navy with yellow accents, a bruised-banana revival. The third is yellow with red and blue and a lightning-bolt motif from the Royal Arsenal logo. All three are made by adidas.

What grade do Arsenal's 2026/27 kits get?

The home shirt gets an A-, the away a B+, and the third a B+. The overall wardrobe grade is a B+.

Is the Arsenal 2026/27 third kit yellow?

Yes. It is yellow with red and blue detailing and a lightning-bolt pattern taken from the Royal Arsenal logo. It debuted on August 5, 2026. Some early reporting described a purple and black shirt instead, which was wrong.

Why does the Arsenal 2026/27 home shirt have patterning on it?

The faint red pattern across the body references the sweeping rooflines of the Emirates, marking twenty years since Arsenal moved to the stadium. The crewneck collar is drawn from the same idea. In practice the references are very subtle.

Does Arsenal's 2026/27 away kit bring back the bruised banana?

It is a deliberate nod to it. The away shirt is navy with yellow accents rather than a direct reissue of the 1991 to 1993 shirt, but the colour pairing is the same idea.

Who makes Arsenal's kits?

adidas. They took over from PUMA in 2019.
