Leaked: Arsenal 26-27 Bruised Banana Lifestyle Shirt

TL;DR

• Images of an Adidas Arsenal 26-27 lifestyle shirt based on the 1991-93 “Bruised Banana” away kit have leaked.
• It keeps the yellow and navy zig-zag and adds “Arsenal” in red gothic script on the back of a yellow collar.
• Footy Headlines says it’s coming soon, probably in an Adidas Originals capsule. No date or price has been reported.

The Leak

Arsenal kit insider @IamCrisJ first posted a teaser of the back of the collar. Then on 4 November 2026, Footy Headlines published what it describes as official images of the finished shirt, shown above. Its full report has the rest of the pictures.

It’s labelled a lifestyle piece, so it doesn’t look like a match kit. Footy Headlines expects it to sit within a wider retro range from Adidas Originals, though it doesn’t name any other items. We haven’t found an announcement from Arsenal or Adidas, so treat those details as reported.

Collar. A ribbed yellow stand carries the club name in red gothic lettering across the back of the neck. Footy Headlines ties that script to Arsenal’s early-90s visual identity.

Pattern. Yellow triangles and broken yellow bars sit on a navy ground across the whole body, with a speckled edge where the colours meet. The report adds a herringbone jacquard weave in the fabric, and you can see it clearly in the close-up.

Stripes. Three Stripes run over the shoulders and down the sleeves in red and yellow, picking up the trim of the 1991-93 shirt.

Crest and branding. The picture shows a red Trefoil and a red cannon side by side on the chest. We can’t see a sponsor on the front. The model is also wearing a long-sleeved version, and the report doesn’t say whether a short-sleeved one is planned.

How It Compares

The 26-27 away shirt starts from the same idea, but it flips the colours and sits on a Collegiate Navy base, as we covered in our away kit report. This shirt brings yellow back to the front, so it looks far closer to the 1991 design.

Adidas has gone back to this design before. The 2019-20 away kit was built on it, and Adidas Originals reissued the 1991-93 shirt in December 2019. Our Bruised Banana history covers how a shirt mocked in its first season became one of the club’s most requested retro designs.
