Today, adidas and Arsenal unveil the new Arsenal third kit for the 2026/27 season, inspired by the belief, ambition and creativity that define the club and brought to life through a new campaign exploring the Arsenal State of Mind.
The launch brings Arsenal's iconic yellow back for the first time in five seasons alongside a bold new expression of one of the club's most recognisable design signatures.
Arsenal State of Mind is the idea that Arsenal is more than a club; it's a shared sense of possibility. A mindset shaped by generations of players, supporters and communities who have always believed in doing things differently, pushing further and creating memories that stand the test of time. The new third kit reflects that spirit, as the club enters an exciting new era as Premier League and Champions Cup winners, continuing to raise standards and keep moving forward.
Drawing on a colour closely associated with some of Arsenal's most memorable chapters, the design combines heritage with a confident modern identity. An updated interpretation of the club's iconic lightning graphic is engineered into the fabric, creating a contemporary expression of a symbol that has long been woven into Arsenal's story.
Launching alongside the kit is Arsenal's first animated kit campaign, directed by French filmmaker FX Goby and produced by Nexus Studios. The film invites viewers into the world of the Arsenal State of Mind, a place where creativity, joy and belonging come together through the people, places and stories that make Arsenal unique.
The film is filled with references to north London and Arsenal culture, bringing together local landmarks, familiar faces and moments from the club's history in a celebration of what connects Arsenal supporters across generations, borders and background.
Arsenal Women striker Alessia Russo said: "Being part of Arsenal means being part of something bigger than yourself. There's a sense of belief, ambition and togetherness that connects everyone who loves this club. That's what Arsenal State of Mind means to me. It's the feeling that we're all part of the same journey and pushing towards the same goals. We can't wait to wear this kit and create more amazing memories with our supporters this season."
More than a new kit, the launch is an invitation into the Arsenal State of Mind: a world shaped by ambition, creativity and belonging, where the bonds between players, supporters and community continue to drive the club forward. Inspired by what Arsenal has always been and energised by what comes next, the new third kit celebrates the mindset that makes Arsenal, Arsenal.
The jersey features navy detailing across the adidas logo, club cannon crest and three stripes, complemented by burgundy accents on the collar and cuffs. Constructed using adidas' latest CLIMACOOL+ technology and lightweight engineered fabrics, it is designed to deliver comfort and performance at the highest level.
The 2026/27 third kit is completed with navy shorts and socks featuring complementary gold and burgundy detailing, creating a cohesive and confident look for matches away from Emirates Stadium and is available from today selected adidas retail locations and online at adidas.co.za and Arsenal Direct.
