Arsenal 91/93 Kids Away

Iconic adidas yellow and navy Arsenal away shirt featuring the legendary “Bruised Banana” pattern and JVC sponsor.

Few football shirts have achieved the cult status of Arsenal’s 1991/93 away shirt. The famous “Bruised Banana” arrived at the start of the 1991/92 season and was retained for Arsenal’s first Premier League campaign in 1992/93, becoming one of adidas’ most memorable designs of the era.

The design is impossible to mistake — a bright yellow base covered by an angular navy zig-zag pattern, creating the battered-banana effect that gave the shirt its unforgettable nickname. Navy adidas shoulder stripes, a dark navy V-neck and red detailing around the collar complete the look, with the classic JVC sponsor sitting proudly across the chest. It was also the final Arsenal shirt to feature the iconic adidas Trefoil logo in English professional football.

And the player nostalgia is immense. This is Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Paul Merson, Anders Limpar, Ray Parlour and David O’Leary, with Wright becoming one of the defining figures of the era. The shirt was famously worn when Wright scored a hat-trick on his league debut against Southampton, adding another legendary moment to its story.

The second season brought major success. Arsenal won both the FA Cup and League Cup in 1992/93, completing a memorable domestic cup double, even though the league campaign ended with a 10th-place finish. The shirt therefore sits perfectly within that wonderfully nostalgic George Graham era of disciplined defending, quick counter-attacking football and some of the most distinctive kits of the early 90s.

A true Arsenal icon — the Bruised Banana, Ian Wright and early Premier League nostalgia all rolled into one unforgettable piece of 90s football fashion.
