Arsenal release stunning new black away kit with help of US-based supporter

The Gunners will wear an all-black strip as the club and adidas revealed the stunning design on Monday.

The club, who are currently on tour in the United States, will wear the jersey for the first time on Wednesday against Orlando City in Florida.

The new kit has been inspired by the club's 'committed' and 'passionate' global fanbase.

It is in honour of those fans, called 'Little Islingtons', that the kit has been launched.

Stars such as Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have helped launch the new jersey.

Also included in their new kit launch is US-based supporter Aston Mack.

Mack came to prominence during the Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020.

He was seen wearing an Arsenal shirt with Aubameyang on the back during the protests.

Mack said it was the club's black icons that made him a huge fan.

He said: "I could not like another club. Then, on top of that, all I had to do was look and you've got Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, 'Rocky' Rocastle, Ian Wright.

"These are legends of the club, they look like me and we were accepted. No words, no negativity - it's just they were accepted and it was huge.

"At the time, I didn't realise how much I needed to hear someone like Arsene Wenger not care about what somebody looked like. He just cared about the man you are on the inside, and that's something that has always resonated with me."
