Earlier this week, Footy Headlines leaked new images of the 2024/25 away kit, as seen above.

The shirt uses a black base with red and green highlights, and a black and white patterned stripe on the sleeves and down the sides.

The explanation for the design of the kit was also revealed by the same source, reporting that it’s a homage to former Arsenal players David Rocastle and Ian Wright.

The article points out that the black, red, and green colour scheme was previously used in a limited edition trainer called the Honor Oak, in reference to the part of London where both players grew up.

It seems the design has now progressed onto a shirt, with the kit set for release in July 2024.

As previously reported, all of Arsenal’s kits for 2024/25 will use the cannon logo instead of the usual club badge.

Arsenal have reportedly decided to use next season to celebrate the cannon, though the crest isn’t about to disappear for good.

James McNicholas reported for The Athletic that changing the club’s crest to the cannon wouldn’t be a straightforward process, it would involve consultation with supporters, and it would be expensive.

Most importantly, there’s no suggestion Arsenal want to change it.

This isn’t the first time Arsenal have used a cannon as a badge. This season, the green third kit uses a cannon logo, as did the black away kit in 2022/23, and the yellow away kit in 2021/22.
