Away colours

[edit]

For many years Arsenal's away colours were white shirts and either black or white shorts. For the 1950 FA Cup Final, Arsenal wore gold shirts. For five years between 1953 and 1958 the club's away shirt was royal blue with white sleeves. An all white kit would be used for the next nine years, between 1958 and 1967.

Since the 1969–70 season, Arsenal have worn yellow and blue, but there have been exceptions. They wore a green and navy away kit in 1982–83.

Since the early 1990s and the advent of the lucrative replica kit market, the away colours have been changed regularly. During this period the designs have been either two-tone blue designs, or variations on the traditional yellow and blue, such as the metallic gold and navy strip used in the 2001–02 season, and the yellow and dark grey used from 2005 to 2007.[1] As of 2009, the away kit is changed every season, and the outgoing away kit becomes the third-choice kit.[2]
