Arsenal 24-25 Home Kit "Too White" for Tottenham Away Match
Sep 10, 2024, by Chris
- Kit Clash: Arsenal's 2024-25 home kit has been deemed to have too much white by the PGMOL and Premier League, causing a clash with Tottenham's home kit.
- Away Kit Required: As a result, Arsenal will wear their all-black away kit for their upcoming match against Tottenham, marking the first time since 1985-86 they won't wear their home kit in this derby.
- Future Kit Changes: Tottenham will also not wear their home kit when they visit Arsenal in January, likely wearing their away kit, due to the same potential kit clash.
Arsenal will break tradition this weekend in the North London Derby by wearing its away kit instead of the home shirt, but it was not the club that did want that.
Arsenal to Wear Away Kit vs Tottenham for the First Time Since 1985-86
The Adidas Arsenal 24-25 home kit has been deemed to feature "too much white" by the PGMOL (official referee group) and Premier League. This marks the first time since the 1985-86 season that Arsenal will not wear their home kit in this derby, and it's the first time in Premier League history this has happened. The decision stems from the concern that Arsenal's 2024-25 home kit, with its increased white elements, clashes too closely with Tottenham Hotspur's traditional white home colors.
As the result, Arsenal will be donning its all-black away kit for the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a kit that has already seen success this season when it was worn in a victory against Aston Villa. The design of this away strip is a collaboration between adidas and Labrum London, celebrating Arsenal's connection with the African diaspora in North London.
Indeed, the Premier League might has learned from last season, when the two teams were not easy to distinguish sometimes - both wore white shorts, something unimaginable in the Champions League.
Tottenham will also not wear its home kit when the club visits the Emirates in January
The Premier League's decision will also see Tottenham wear a different kit when they visit the Emirates in January, further underlining the unique visual shift for this season's derbies. We strongly expect Tottenham to wear the away kit, as the green third kit would be very bad for red-green color-blind people.
