Arsenal to wear all white kit at the Emirates against Liverpool to mark third year of No More Red campaign

Arsenal's all white kit for the No More Red campaign

Arsenal will wear an all white kit for their FA Cup tie with Liverpool on Sunday as part of their No More Red campaign to help keep young people safe from knife crime and violence.

It will mark the third consecutive season Arsenal have worn the No More Red kit – a campaign launched in 2022 in partnership with Adidas.

Freddie Hudson, head of Arsenal in the Community, said: “No More Red provides a unique opportunity to highlight almost four decades of our local community work that has helped to keep thousands of young people safe.

“Throughout the first two years of No More Red, we’ve worked in our local area with adidas, our local authority and our charity partners to build on our support for young people by providing more high quality safe spaces to play sport, access to trusted role models and to shine a light on the positive work being done across our community.

“Young people face multiple challenges as they grow up in today’s world and we don’t have all the answers, but we are confident that by acting together and shining a light on the support network available across our community, we can make a significant contribution to the lives of our participants.”

Arsenal Women will also wear the all-white kit on pitch for the first time when they face Watford in the FA Cup fourth round at Meadow Park on January 14.

Fans will not be able to buy the kit but can purchase a No More Red community t-shirt which will be available for £30 at Arsenal stores from January 29.

The t-shirt was designed by Nellie-Rose, a young person from Arsenal in the Community who took part in one of the 2023 No More Red Social Action Projects, which bring together groups of young people from the local community to connect them with figures from the creative and sports industries.

£30 of the retail price of each t-shirt will be donated in equal proportions to each of the following No More Red Charity Partners: The Arsenal Foundation, Abianda (Abi Billinghurst & Associates); Octopus Community Network Limited; Box Up Crime; Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation; Ben Kinsella Trust; Copenhagen Youth Project; and St Giles Trust.

This year, Arsenal and Adidas will open a third refurbished community pitch since the start of the campaign at Mayville Estate, Islington.
