Vintage Arsenal shirts: what to know
Arsenal's shirts fall into four manufacturer eras: adidas (1986–94), Nike (1994–2014), Puma (2014–19) and adidas again from 2019.
Shirt sponsors follow their own timeline: JVC (1981–99), Sega and Dreamcast (1999–2002), O2 (2002–06) and Fly Emirates from 2006.
The most sought-after vintage Arsenal shirts are:
- The 1991–93 adidas "bruised banana" away shirt – yellow with a dark zigzag print and the JVC logo. It is our best-selling Arsenal shirt design.
- The 2003–04 Nike home shirt – red with white sleeves and the O2 logo, worn by the Invincibles during their unbeaten Premier League season.
- The 2005–06 Nike "redcurrant" home shirt – made for Highbury's final season, in the darker red Arsenal wore in their first season there in 1913.

Which Arsenal shirt should I buy first?
Start with a 2004–06 Nike home shirt with Henry 14 on the back. Henry is the best-selling Arsenal name at FSC, and these shirts typically sell for £100–£185, well below the rare adidas-era pieces. They also cover the Invincibles and Highbury-farewell years. If you'd rather own one grail shirt, save up for the 1991–93 bruised banana away, which usually sells for £220–£330 in good condition.

How do vintage Arsenal shirts fit compared to modern ones?
Vintage Arsenal shirts from the 1990s fit looser and boxier than modern shirts. Every listing gives the shirt's size, and our size guide has measurements to compare with a shirt you already own.
Which manufacturers have made Arsenal shirts?
adidas made Arsenal's shirts from 1986 to 1994, Nike from 1994 to 2014, Puma from 2014 to 2019, and adidas again from 2019.
How much should I pay for a vintage Arsenal shirt?
Most original Arsenal shirts sell for £50–£200 at FSC, depending on era, condition and nameset. Rare adidas-era away shirts such as the 1991–93 bruised banana usually sell for £220–£330, and signed or match-worn shirts for more (FSC sales data, September 2026).
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide and have sent shirts to 81+ countries. We use Royal Mail, FedEx and DPD, with most UK orders going Royal Mail.
Can I return a shirt?
Yes. You can return a shirt within 14 days of purchase.
How should I wash and store a vintage Arsenal shirt?
Wash it cold, inside out and separately. On 1980s and 90s shirts, a hot wash can lift the JVC sponsor logo. Store rare shirts such as the bruised banana flat in a box or in a garment cover. More tips are in our guide to washing football shirts.
Do you ship vintage Arsenal jerseys to the US?
Yes. We ship Arsenal shirts – or soccer jerseys, if you're in the US – from London to the USA, with tracked delivery typically taking 5–7 days.
