As a result, Arsenal are yet to wear their light blue and lilac third kit in a competitive game, but that will change on Saturday.
This is hardly surprising, given Bournemouth’s home kit is red and black, matching both Arsenal’s home kit and away kit.
The Arsenal men didn’t even wear the third kit in pre-season, using the away kit against Liverpool and Bournemouth (who wore their away kit too), and wearing the home kit against Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, and Olympique Lyonnais.
