Arsenal to wear all-white kit at home for first time in FA Cup tie with Liverpool

Arsenal have announced they will again wear an all-white kit for their FA Cup third-round tie this season.

The Gunners adorned all-white strips for their third-round matchups in their 2021/22 and 2022/23 to help support their No More Red campaign against knife crime and violence among young people.

Mikel Arteta’s side will face Liverpool in the pick of the FA Cup third-round selections on Sunday evening, while the women’s team will also wear the kit when they host Watford in their fourth-round tie on January 14.

This will be the first time in Arsenal’s history that they will wear white kits for home games.

A statement from Arsenal read: “Alongside adidas, we are proud to announce that our men’s first-team will wear the No More Red kit, drained of the club’s traditional red, for the first time in a home fixture when we face Liverpool in the FA Cup third round.

“No More Red was launched in January 2022 to support the long-standing work undertaken by ourselves to help keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence.

“The kit will never be for sale, but a new bespoke community t-shirt will be available to purchase from Arsenal stores on January 29 with 100% of the retail price (£30) being donated in equal proportions to each of the following No More Red Charity Partners: The Arsenal Foundation, Abianda (Abi Billinghurst & Associates); Octopus Community Network Limited; Box Up Crime; Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation; Don’t Stab Your Future; Ben Kinsella Trust; Steel Warriors; Copenhagen Youth Project; and St Giles Trust.

“In 2024, we will build on the work done since the inception of No More Red by:
