The best Arsenal kits of the Premier League era, including 1992 shirt Thierry Henry loves
In addition to being one of the most successful clubs in England, Arsenal are also one of the most fashionable – if not the most fashionable.
The Gunners have rarely taken to the field wearing a hideous kit over the years – barring some exceptions from Puma – with both Nike and Adidas often ensuring Arsenal are winning, in terms of being the most stylish club.
It speaks volumes that some of these shirts sell for hundreds of pounds online to this day.
With this in mind, let’s take a look at the eight best Arsenal kits of the Premier League era – in no particular order.
1991/1993 Arsenal away kit
Many regard this kit as the best Arsenal have ever worn.
This creation from Adidas – known as the bruised banana – was the first away kit Arsenal wore in the Premier League era, and is still being remade by the club today with the release of retro editions.
2001/02 Arsenal away kit
Again focusing on an away kit, Nike smashed it out of the park with this gold strip back in the 2001/02 season – a decade after Adidas released the bruised banana.
Not only was this a beautiful kit, but it also went down in history, as Arsenal wore it during the 1-0 win at Old Trafford which secured the Premier League title in May 2002.
1992/94 Arsenal home kit
Onto a home kit now.
Another strip Arsenal have released as a modern retro remake, the 1992/94 home shirt oozed class, with centralised Adidas logo, club badge and JVC sponsor providing an aesthetically pleasing look.
Thierry Henry remains a fan of this kit even now – as the Frenchman was seen wearing it inside the Emirates Stadium during the north London derby back in September 2021.
Thierry Henry never lost a north London derby when he played for Arsenal so it was just like the old days for him this weekend 🔴

1995/96 Arsenal away kit
Although this season third shirt is an absolute gem and a modern classic, it really can’t beat the original lightning bolt for me ⚡

What an incredible template. Just look at the art deco crests in the fabric. Stunning 🤩
Back to an away kit.
Nike opted to release a blue away strip in the 1995/96 season, one which has become an absolute classic.
The lightning bolt down the middle was a particularly striking addition, with the mesmeric talents of Dennis Bergkamp doing it justice.
2003/04 Arsenal home kit
We simply couldn’t leave the 2003/04 kit out of this list – the one Arsenal, who want Benjamin Sesko, wore on their way to becoming Invincibles.
The Gunners make football history under Arsene Wenger in this clean strip, with the likes of Henry running riot adorning that now iconic O2 sponsor.
2005/06 Arsenal home kit
Nike mixed things up for the 2005/06 campaign with a burgundy home kit – a nod to the colour Arsenal wore back in the 1800s when they were originally known as Dial Square FC.
The gold detailing works perfectly with the burgundy, and it seemed to help Arsenal – particularly in Europe – as the north Londoners reached the UEFA Champions League final in this strip.
2022/23 Arsenal away kit
Adidas arguably released the best Arsenal kit since 2006 with this stunning edition.
Worn by the likes of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, the Gunners really ought to have won the Premier League title in this sharp, black kit – complimented by gold detailing – but a late collapse saw Manchester City reign supreme.
1993/94 Arsenal away kit
Not only was Arsenal’s first away kit of the Premier League era a special one, but Adidas also did a superb job creating the second.
A unique design of three sashes going diagonally across the strip – interrupted only for the iconic JVC sponsor – as well as a centralised Adidas logo, this kit captivated millions, a point reinforced by how successful Arsenal have been when it comes to selling modern remakes.
