ARSENAL SHIRT HISTORY
1998–99
1998–99
Design: NIKE
Sponsor: JVC
The team donned this dark blue strip only once
in the 98–99 Champions League against RC
Lens, as the French club’s kit consisted of red
and yellow stripes that managed to clash with
both Arsenal’s home and away strips at the
time.
The shirt was very simple in design with
just a plain collar and red neck, worn with the
home shorts and the alternative white home
socks. Not the most memorable of jerseys, its
only outing saw a poor Arsenal performance.
A replica version was never produced.
Worn in: The Champions League match against
RC Lens at Wembley that ended in a bitterly
disappointing 1–0 defeat.
Worn by: Gilles Grimandi, Luis Boa Morte.
