Arsenal have also launched an accompanying campaign film for the away kit. The film features the inspirational founder of the Orlando Freedom Fighters, Aston Mack.
In July 2020, Aston was spotted at a Black Lives demonstration in the city of Orlando wearing the football jersey. Afterwards, he gave a powerful speech about how the jersey filled him with pride and strength, saying no one could bring race and color when he puts the jersey on as he is wearing a badge.
Speaking on his connection to our shirt, Aston said:
“As a proud Orlando Gooner, to me, the Arsenal jersey means strength, solidarity and pride. When I wear the jersey, it takes me to another world. I feel protected, I feel connected, I feel part of a bigger community."
He further talks about what the football club's jersey means to people:
"I’m proud of Arsenal for presenting what our jersey means to people like me. It’s more than a jersey, it’s a representation of home and family, no matter where we’re from or where we live."
The new Arsenal away jersey will make its first appearance in front of the fans during the Gunners' opening match from their pre-season tour in the F.C. Series against Orlando City.
Through the away city, the Gunners' (Arsenal fans) will be connected with the club through their own Islington community.
The new Arsenal x Adidas 2022-23 away kit can be availed at Arsenal Direct, the Armoury, and Adidas' official e-commerce site and in-store, starting July 18, 2022.
