London, July 12 (ANI): Players representing Arsenal FC are set to wear a new adventurous kit this season, with its eye-catching design, combining a rich purple base with black hoops, marking a new direction for the team.
While the kit combines modern sport and youth styles to give the club a striking new look, Nike's innovations give the team the most technologically advanced kit to aid athlete comfort and performance.
According to the Daily Mirror, taking visual inspiration from high street fashion, the kit is on-trend, and by using such a regal colour in the year of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, it also honours the club's historical royal links.
The Gunners were known as "Royal Arsenal" in the 1890s having been formed at the Arsenal munitions factory in Woolwich, South London.
The red trim on the shirt cuffs compliment the purple body and pay homage to the home kits that are so identifiable with the club, whilst the differing hoop patterns on the body and the sleeves of the shirt give it a modern twist, the report said.
The inner back neck graphic takes the form of the club's motto, 'Victoria Concordia Crescit', the Latin for 'Victory Through Harmony', the outer back neck graphic pays tribute to legendry manager Herbert Chapman's innovative WM formation.
The purple and black-hooped socks, bearing one red hoop each, again pay tribute to Chapman's legacy, as it was he who introduced hooped sock to make it easier for his players to pick one another out on the pitch. (ANI)
