This season, Arsenal will play in pink for the first time with the launch of their brand new third kit for the 2022-23 campaign.

While pink has been chosen for both goalkeeper strips and as decorative trim before, the Gunners have never used the rosy hue as a main colour for an outfield jersey until now.

The zesty shade of pink is embedded with a subtle "ermine" pattern that is an echo of the repeating motif used on the shield of the Arsenal club crest, circa 1949-2002. Ermine is a heraldic image often used in coats of arms and is said to represent the fur of a stoat, from which it takes its name.
