Arsenal have officially launched their brand new home kit for the 2022/23 season and they will once again be kitted out by Adidas with the German manufacturers' latest effort giving back to the north London communities.
The new Arsenal home shirt features a striking new collar with a lightning bolt design. The shirt, in iconic Arsenal red, will be paired with white shorts, while the white socks will have a red lightning bolt running horizontally across them and will be worn for the first time in the final home game of the current season against Everton on Sunday.
As explained in a press release, £5 from every new home shirt bought directly through the club ahead of the new season will go to The Arsenal Foundation to support local community initiatives.

At the start of the 2021/22 season, Arsenal introduced their 'Arsenal Supporting Supporters' campaign in recognition of how local businesses were hit following lockdowns and the reduction of fans on matchdays. Now the club are delighted to build on what they've achieved together to ensure they continue to support the places and faces that make Arsenal, Arsenal.

"We’re extremely proud of the work we’ve been doing to bring our community together and support the lives of people in our local area for more than 35 years,” said Freddie Hudson, Head of Arsenal in the Community. "People are the heartbeat of our community and the £5 donation from our home shirt sales will provide vital support for the local projects that serve our diverse community in north London so well.
"The last couple of years have been especially tough and the impact continues to be felt, but it’s amazing what we can achieve when we all come together to support each other. We continue to draw inspiration from those who make the Arsenal family so special, and we’re thrilled to be able to give a little back in this unique way."
Arsenal have a long, proud history of working in their local community, and Arsenal in the Community has leveraged the power of the Arsenal name to positively impact the lives of people since 1985.
In celebration of the people and places that make their community, and to mark the unveiling of the new kit, Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Martinelli, Granit Xhaka, Stina Blackstenius, Vivianne Miedema, Lotte Wubben-Moy and Leah Williamson visited some of the local projects that have benefited from the donations from The Arsenal Foundation.
