Arsenal's new away kit brings back cult 'Bruised Banana' design from the 1990s

The Gunners have unveiled their 2026-27 away kit, and it's a nostalgic throwback to one of the club's most iconic and beloved designs of the past. The new kit's design is a direct homage to Arsenal's infamous 'Bruised Banana' jersey, which was worn by the team in the early 1990s. The 'Bruised Banana' jersey was a cult classic among Arsenal fans, and its revival has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the Emirates Stadium faithful.

The new kit's design is a remarkably faithful recreation of the original, with the same bright yellow and black color scheme, and the same distinctive 'bruised' pattern on the sleeves. The only significant difference between the new kit and the original is the addition of modern sponsor logos and the club's updated crest. The kit's design has been well-received by fans, with many taking to social media to express their excitement and nostalgia for the classic design.

Arsenal's decision to revive the 'Bruised Banana' design is a savvy move, given the current trend of nostalgia-driven kit designs. The kit has been designed in collaboration with the club's official kit supplier, Adidas, who have done an impressive job of recreating the original design while still incorporating modern touches. The new kit is set to go on sale later this month, and fans are expected to snap it up in droves.

The 'Bruised Banana' jersey was a staple of Arsenal's kits during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and its revival is a testament to the club's commitment to its rich history and heritage. The new kit is set to be worn by the team for the first time in their upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea, and fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to see the team take to the pitch in their new and iconic away kit.
