ARSENAL SHIRT HISTORY 1986–87, 1987–88
Design: ADIDAS
Sponsor: JVC
Yellow and navy remained for adidas’ first
away kit for the club and so popular were the
colours that they were nearly always worn in
away games, even if there was no serious
colour clash. The design basically followed
that of the home shirt, except that the sleeve
colour now matched the body of the jersey.
Red was used as a third colour throughout the
kit – even as an outline on the JVC logo. The
adidas logo was embroidered on the socks.
Worn in: The 87–88 Littlewoods Cup semi-final
first leg victory over Everton (1–0) and the 1–0
league win over Nottingham Forest at the City
Ground the same season.
Worn by: Niall Quinn, Kevin Richardson.
