ARSENAL SHIRT HISTORY
1997–98, 1998–99
1997–98, 1998–99
Design: NIKE
Sponsor: JVC
This amber and navy blue ensemble was
another wonderful kit for the club. Featuring a
fine red trim throughout, the kit also included
a series of navy-blue bands across the chest
and arms. A nice touch was the addition of the
cannon logo on the shorts.
This was the first
Arsenal shirt to feature Nike’s Dri-fit™
material, designed to expel body moisture and
keep the wearer cool, and was the club’s away
strip during their double success of 97–98.
Worn in: A 1–0 win at Old Trafford in 97–98
plus a 6–1 thrashing of Middlesbrough that
included an awesome Kanu goal (98–99). Also
worn in that year’s 3–0 Charity Shield victory
over Man Utd.
Worn by: Marc Overmars, Stephen Hughes.
