The purple design gives the kit a regal flavour in this Diamond Jubilee year for a side that was known as 'Royal Arsenal' in the 1890s, having been formed at the Arsenal munitions factory in Woolwich, South London.
The red trim on the shirt cuffs compliments the purple body, while the differing hoop patterns on the shirt provide a modern twist.
The inner back neck graphic, meanwhile, takes the form of the Clubs motto, Victoria Concordia Crescit, the Latin for Victory Through Harmony, while the outer back neck graphic pays tribute to legendary manager Herbert Chapmans innovative WM formation.
The purple and black hooped socks, bearing one red stripe each, pay tribute to Chapmans legacy and his introduction of hooped socks to make it easier for players to pick each other out on the pitch.
