Arsenal will not play in red against Tottenham for first time in 38 years as home kit judged to clash with Spurs’ traditional strip

Arsenal have announced that the PGMOL and Premier League have ruled that their 2024-25 home kit features too much white and clashes with Tottenham Hotspur’s traditional colours.

As a result, the Gunners will wear their black away kit for Sunday’s North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Gunners discussed the option of wearing red shorts and socks on their home colours for the game, but it was rejected.

Tottenham will also wear their away colours when they visit Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in January.

Arsenal have already worn their black away strip this term when they faced Aston Villa at Villa Park in their second Premier League game of the season, securing a 2-0 victory in it.

They will fancy their chances of leaving Tottenham with all three points having won each of their last two games at the ground of their bitter rivals.

Arsenal won 3-2 on their last visit back in April and they also emerged 2-0 winners against them in January 2023.
