An ode to Gunners’ glory
Designed with narration from the exquisite series of Arsenal kits of yesteryear, particularly with occasions of the late ’80s and early ’90s when unforgettable Highbury victories were cobbled together. See the fine detailing on the side panel, referring to those geometric designs found on classic Arsenal away kits, while the cut and silhouette keep those clean and classic lines that made the historic kits so easily recognizable. The perfect double act: shorts that say a little something about belonging to a time that is both eternally familiar and refreshingly contemporary, especially for a fan who pays tribute to the past while celebrating the present.
Premium Fabric Technology
We put together these shorts, mind you, with a highly technical dual-layer poly-blend fabric (87% polyester, 13% elastane) that ensures the highest level of performance while still delivering supremely comfortable wear:
Moisture-Wicking Core: It channels sweat away from your skin with technological mastery, leaving you dry whether you are playing a quick game of five-a-side or just standing on the terraces cheering.
Four-Way Stretch Construction: Move in every direction, as the fabric is always there, responding to your body’s natural motion
Breathable Mesh Panels: Ventilation works to cool off the interior thigh during the heat of the moment
Fade-Resistant Dye Process: The deep red and white colorway retaining its brilliance wash after wash and season after season
Tailored for the Modern Supporter
Athletic Fit with Heritage Proportions: We studied vintage Arsenal shorts to get that real early-90s silhouette-a slightly longer inseam (7.5 inches) with a comfortable mid-rise waist-and then translated it through an ergonomic modern tailoring so it’s right there at mid-thigh, letting you move about with freedom and without any extra fabric.
Secure Comfort Waistband: A plush elastic waistband with an internal drawstring for adjustment, branded with a matte, heat-sealed Arsenal cannon emblem at the hip. The band will never roll, pinch, or dink even after hours of wear.
Functional Criteria:
Two hidden side pockets have reinforced stitching, offering enough room for your phone and keys.
Flatlock seams are applied all over to prevent chafing.
An understated tonal embroidery detail celebrates “1886,” the year Arsenal was formed.
A commemorative “2025/26” label is stitched inside the waistband as a flourish for collectors.
Built to Last, Made to Collect
As an unofficial commemorative piece, these shorts stand for the independent voice of true supporters—those fans who collect and cherish everything, wear their love on the sleeve, and sell it with a twinkle in their eye. Each pair comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity, elevating this beyond sportswear to a keepsake of your dedication to the Arsenal legacy.

Like Wearing a Piece of Highbury History
Being an Arsenal supporter since the Graham era, wearing these shorts brought back memories of watching matches at Highbury when I was a teenager. The quality of the fabric is superb, even better than that of the official stuff I have lately been buying. I wore them to a charity match last weekend, and it was all down to comfort, no chafing, just the right length-and they stayed put with no effort during play. Three of my teammates stopped me asking where I got them. The subtle detail of “1886” sewn on tells me these are from people that truly get what Arsenal means to us. I’ve ordered a second pair already that will be kept pristine in my collection.

Genuine Yet Nostalgic
Bought these for my husband’s 50th birthday—he’s been Arsenal through and-through since the age of seven. He literally got teary-eyed when he opened the box. He immediately recognized the design references, calling back to the ’89 championship season he had watched with his late father. The quality is superior; they’re not the cheapo fan merch, rather bona fide gym attire. Every time there’s some form of match day gathering, he has them on, and those plies from fellow supporters have been staggering. It’s somehow morphed into a platform to air some glory stories of yore. That certificate of commemoration was just a beautiful touch and is currently framed in the Arsenal shrine room. Worth every penny for the happiness it has brought to him.

Superior quality at this price point
I can say these shorts could stand their quality against materials costing double the price. The fabric is very thick to feel premium, yet it would be mostly breathable in actual athletic uses. Stitching-wise, there’s no loose thread or any untidy stitches that one can point out. One great thing about the length is that it is not brief at all. These shorts are ideal that modern football shorts have been too short and too much in between now. Even the anti-wetting works; I actually wore them during an indoor tournament and felt much drier than usual. The price is so fair that it gives an excellent value. These shorts became my favorite across-the-board-from-playing shorts to wearing them casually around the house on match days.

Connection Across Generations
My 12-year-old son and I are huge Arsenal fans, and I bought the matching pair of these shorts for us. It has become a nice bridge from the Arsenal I watched growing up and the one he is learning to love. We put them on together on match days, and this set of shorts has become a catalyst for so many exciting conversations about legendary players, historic matches, and what it really means to be a Gooner. The actual shorts are superb: my son claims that they are more comfortable than his PE school shorts, and I, being a parent, love how durable and easy to maintain they are. The style is sleek enough for him to say that they are cool (high praise from a pre-teen), and yet stylistically past enough for me to feel connected to my Arsenal-supporting roots. These have become our match day uniform, and I could not be happier.

Shorts for real people at last!
I’m 6’2″ with an athletic build, and football shorts are always tricky: either too baggy or too short. These fit perfectly. The 7.5″ inseams are exactly what I needed, and the stretchable fabric moves with you rather than against you. I’ve used them for matches, training, and just worn them while watching Arsenal at home. They have been washed at least 15 times, and there is no fading or pilling. My wife even said they look ‘proper’ and not like cheap knock-offs. The pockets are deep and useful, surprisingly so. Honestly, these shorts are the most comfortable athletic shorts I have-ever owned.
