Leaked: Arsenal 2026-27 Away Kit — Bruised Banana Redux

TL;DR

• Bruised Banana, reversed: Arsenal’s leaked 2026-27 Adidas away kit reworks the beloved 1991-93 design, flipping the palette to a Collegiate Navy base with yellow and red accents.
• Retro branding: The shirt carries the Adidas Trefoil and a distinctive collar graphic that runs in opposite directions on the men’s and women’s versions.
• On sale 23 July 2026: Expected to land in late July, and 433FC already stocks Arsenal’s 2026-27 range.

The Leak

Few Arsenal shirts carry the mythology of the 1991-93 away kit, universally known as the Bruised Banana. So when imagery of the 2026-27 away shirt began surfacing through Footy Headlines from late April 2026, it was always going to draw attention. The leaked design does not simply revive that classic; it inverts it, keeping the geometric energy while turning the colour story on its head.

Fuller images followed in May 2026, giving a rounded picture of how Adidas has interpreted the brief. As ever with pre-launch material, the finer specifications may shift before Arsenal stage an official reveal, so treat the details as reported rather than confirmed. The original coverage sits over at Footy Headlines.

Design Breakdown

Colourway. The shirt uses a Collegiate Navy base rather than the yellow of the original, with red and yellow accents picking out the detailing. It is described as a reverse interpretation of the Bruised Banana, so the famous zig-zag character is present but recoloured, giving a darker, more modern silhouette.

Collar. The standout detail is a graphic collar pattern that, per the leak, runs clockwise on the men’s version and counter-clockwise on the women’s. It is a neat, contemporary flourish that keeps the retro reference from feeling like a straight reissue.

Kit and branding. Navy shorts with yellow accents and navy socks with yellow trim complete the look. The shirt wears the Adidas Trefoil for that heritage feel, with Emirates on the front and Deel on the sleeve continuing Arsenal’s current sponsorship set-up.

How It Compares

Compared with the current 2025-26 away shirt, this leak is a bolder swing at nostalgia. Where the outgoing kit played things fairly straight, the 2026-27 design builds its whole identity around a single iconic reference and then subverts it through the navy base. It also sits apart from Arsenal’s classic red-and-white home look, which you can line up against the away option in our club range below.

When Can You Buy It?
