Arsenal legend, Ray Parlour shared with Sportplus.sg his thoughts on the new 25/26 away kit, and the importance of bringing the club closer to its overseas fans

Singapore, 22 July 2025 - adidas and Arsenal Football Club revealed the new away jersey for the 2025/26 season at adidas Brand Centre Orchard – featuring a fresh take on the iconic lightning bolt design which has become synonymous with Arsenal away kits of the past.

Launched on the men’s pre-season tour in Singapore, the jersey draws inspiration from the famous Royal Arsenal Gatehouse lightning bolt, the navy jersey is adorned with metallic detailing and the sleeves feature the iconic adidas Three Stripes in red, adding a pop of colour and vibrancy.

Gracing the launch at the heart of Orchard Road was Arsenal's David Raya, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhães, all of whom received loud cheers from the media and several lucky Arsenal fans.

Also in attendance was Arsenal legend, Ray Parlour, who played for The Gunners from 1992 to 2004.

"It's very similar to the kit in my era around 1996. I can see it being a very successful kit and we all know adidas makes very good kits anyways," shared the former Arsenal midfielder with Sportplus.sg.

With the club's continuous determination to pay homage to its iconic designs from the 90s, Parlour highlights its importance in keeping the club's culture alive.

"It's very important for the history of the club. I made my debut in the Bruised Banana kit which is iconic now. When it'd first come out, everyone went 'oh, not too sure about that one' but now everyone loves it. I've still got quite a lot of kits at home which I played in! I keep the good ones — the FA Cup ones and the ones we won at Old Trafford. They're the important ones because we wore those on nights we were successful," recounted Parlour.

"It's great to see so many people outside adidas Brand Centre Orchard in all different sorts of kits from different eras."

Arsenal are set to take on AC Milan in their first of two games here in Singapore on Wednesday (23 July), and the support shown by the fans so far has not been lost on the team.

"I heard that there is a very big time difference and fans here have to wake up in the middle of the night to watch us-" shared a smiling Martinelli before he was cut off by a passionate chorus of cheers from the Arsenal fans.

"We can't wait to step on the pitch, 100 per cent it's going to be a good game," said Raya.

Parlour, who with his time as both a player and a pundit after retirement, would know all too well the importance of bringing clubs closer to overseas fans.

"It's a global game now. Arsenal is a massive club and coming to see fans is what it's all about. Some people can't see them live and are forced to get up at all sorts of times to watch games. It's great to be here, fans can see them in the flesh and blood, running in front of them.

"There's big support in Australia, America and obviously in Asia so it's great that they can come here. The players will enjoy and embrace the fans," shared Parlour.

The on-field version of the jersey is available to purchase for $189, while the fan version is $115 – both available to purchase from today at selected adidas retail stores and online. #ArsenalFC #COYG #adidasSG #adidasFootball
