Celebrating our London Underground connection

We’re proud to present our new pre-match collection in collaboration with adidas and Transport for London (TfL) to celebrate our historic connection to the London Underground.

Available from today, the range celebrates Arsenal station – the only underground station to be named after a football club, following its name change from Gillespie Road on October 31, 1932. This came after concerted lobbying from visionary manager Herbert Chapman, who wanted to make it much easier for supporters to instantly know how to get to see the team and to cement the identity of the club into the local area.
