End of Whiteout Kit Campaign: Arsenal will stop wearing the all-white "No More Red" kit in matches, returning to their traditional red and white colors.
Reason for the Change: The all-white kit was worn in domestic cup competitions since 2021 as part of a campaign against knife crime, but Arsenal will now use their standard kits for all competitions.
Continuation of Initiative: Although the all-white shirt will no longer be used in matches, the anti-knife crime initiative will continue through off-pitch activities and community programs.

Update: As reported, Arsenal did wear their regular home kit in the FA Cup third round. The all-white kit is history.

Arsenal will return to their traditional red and white colors for their FA Cup third round tie this weekend, marking the end of the all-white "No More Red" kit's on-pitch use. The Gunners have worn the special shirt in domestic cup competitions since 2021 as part of a campaign against knife crime. The decision was first reported by Amy Lawrence of The Athletic.

Arsenal to Wear Regular Home Kit in FA Cup Third Round

Arsenal confirmed that an all-white shirt will no longer be used in matches. However, the anti-knife crime initiative will continue through other off-pitch activities and community programs. Arsenal's last appearance in the all-white kit came during their FA Cup campaign last season.

The move means Arsenal will wear their standard kits for all competitions going forward, ending a four-year period where the white shirt became a familiar sight in the FA Cup and League Cup.
