Premier League club Arsenal will wear its all-white home kit to support the club’s campaign against knife crime and youth violence when they take on Liverpool in FA Cup.
On Sunday afternoon, the Gunners will host Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium, where they will be wearing an all-new white kit for the first time in over a century.

Arsenal’s traditional red and white home kit will be “drained of red” as part of the club’s ‘No More Red’ campaign, which aims to combat knife crime and young people’s violence in London.
The campaign has seen the Gunners, as well as kit manufacturer Adidas, invest in more secure areas for football to be played, with Islington set to receive its third community pitch refurbishment since the launch of the campaign in 2024.
They’ve worn the all white kit on two occasions in their history – the 2022 loss to Nottingham Forest in the third-round of the FA Cup and their 3-0 victory over Oxford twelve months ago – but those were both away games. They’ve never worn all white in a competitive home game before.
The kit is currently unavailable for purchase, however fans can purchase a custom community t-shirt for £30, with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity partners of the ‘No More Red’ campaign.
The all-white kit will also be worn by Arsenal’s women’s team for the first time as they take on Watford in the fourth round of the FA Cup later in January.
