Arsenal and Adidas have unveiled the club’s 2024/25 away kit, designed in collaboration with LABRUM London, the fashion brand by Sierra Leone-born Foday Dumbuya.
This new kit, primarily for away games, celebrates Arsenal’s connection to the Black diaspora.
The jersey features a black base with a hand-drawn zig-zag graphic symbolizing the flow and movement of people, inspired by African fabric patterns. The collar and shoulders are adorned with green and red stripes, representing pan-Africanism.
In addition to the jersey, Labrum and Adidas released a five-piece capsule collection including two jackets, a tee, a jumper, and track pants. Each item showcases a reworked Labrum London logo with the ‘Nomoli’ icon, symbolizing protection and prosperity from Sierra Leone’s Mende and Kissi tribes.
Dumbuya, who merges West African heritage with Western tailoring, has guided Labrum London to significant acclaim since its founding a decade ago.
This new Arsenal kit marks Labrum’s second collaboration with Adidas this summer, following the design of Sierra Leone’s Olympic uniforms for Paris 2024, continuing their partnership from the 2020 Olympics.

The Story Behind the Incident
Are you familiar with one of the most shocking moments in World Cup history? In the 2006 World Cup final, Zinedine Zidane, the French football legend, headbutted Italian defender Marco Materazzi. This act led to Zidane’s ejection from the match, ultimately marking a dramatic end to his illustrious career.

The Incident
The incident occurred during extra time, with the scores level at 1-1. Zidane, after an exchange of words with Materazzi, turned and headbutted him in the chest. This led to Zidane being shown a red card, and France subsequently lost the penalty shootout to Italy.
Zidane’s Explanation
Over the years, Zidane has been relatively reserved about the incident, but in various interviews, he shed light on what provoked him. According to Zidane, Materazzi made disparaging remarks about his sister. In a 2010 interview, Zidane explained that he would “rather die than apologize” for the headbutt because he felt deeply insulted.
Materazzi’s Perspective
Materazzi has also spoken about the incident, acknowledging the insult. He admitted to saying something offensive about Zidane’s sister but claimed that Zidane’s reaction was extreme and that the incident had overshadowed his own career achievements.
The Aftermath
The headbutt became one of the most talked-about moments in sports history. Zidane’s action was widely scrutinized, with many fans and pundits debating whether it tarnished his legacy. However, for many, Zidane remains one of football’s greatest players, and the incident is often viewed as a testament to his passionate nature on the field.
Zidane has since moved on to a successful coaching career, but the 2006 headbutt remains a memorable, if controversial, chapter in his story.
