Arsenal 1991-93 — The Adidas Away Kit from the George Graham Era

In the early 90s, Arsenal reigned supreme in England with an iron defence and a formidable collective.

What this jersey represents

Between 1991 and 1993, Arsenal Football Club went through one of the strongest periods in its modern history. Under the leadership of George Graham, the Gunners were an relentless collective machine, built on a legendary defensive block and clinical efficiency in attack. The 1990-91 season ended with a First Division title obtained with only 18 goals conceded in 38 games — a staggering record. This Adidas away kit covers exactly the two seasons that followed this historic triumph.

The squad from that era was formidable. Tony Adams as the absolute boss of the defence, Lee Dixon, Nigel Winterburn, and Steve Bould forming the most feared backline in England. Up front, Ian Wright — who arrived in September 1991 — exploded, literally making history as a Gunners goalscorer and imposing his fiery personality on all of Highbury. Paul Merson, Kevin Campbell, and Alan Smith completed a varied and dangerous attack on pitches across England.

Moments etched into this jersey

The 1991 First Division title: the starting point
It is in direct continuity with this triumph that this away kit came into being. Arsenal had absolutely dominated the competition, losing only one match throughout the season — a statistical anomaly in English football at the time. This Adidas kit is the direct extension of that hegemony.

Ian Wright arrives and changes everything (September 1991)
Bought from Crystal Palace for 2.5 million pounds, Ian Wright scored a hat-trick in his first league match for Arsenal upon his arrival. This Adidas away kit is the one under which Wright began to build his legend as the club's all-time leading scorer — a record he would hold for years.

The 1992-93 season and the Double Cup
This season marked a turning point: Arsenal won the FA Cup and League Cup double in 1993, two finals played against Sheffield Wednesday. It was the first time the Gunners achieved this historic double — and this Adidas away kit was at the heart of this national cup odyssey.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey like this one is a piece that was produced at the time — not a modern reproduction, not an anniversary edition. The materials, manufacturing techniques, flocking, inner labels: everything corresponds to what existed in the early 90s. It's a period object, not a tribute copy.

This one shows a condition of 8/10 with some visible pulls — this is the normal wear and tear of a jersey that has lived, that has been worn, that has not spent 30 years under glass. For an Adidas vintage Arsenal jersey of this generation, finding a piece in this general state of preservation is already a good deal. The pulls are proof that this shirt had a real life.

Vintage Size Guide

The sizes of vintage 90s jerseys do not correspond to today's standards — this is a reality that every collector must integrate before buying. A size M from 1991-93 from Adidas generally fits smaller than a current M: cuts were more fitted, fabrics less stretchy, and sizes designed for body shapes different from what is found in modern ready-to-wear.

Before confirming your order, take a tape measure and measure your shoulder width and chest circumference. Then compare with the actual measurements of the jersey that we indicate in the product photos. This is the only reliable method to avoid unpleasant surprises — and for this vintage Arsenal away kit to be worn as it deserves to be.

Why have it in your collection

The early 90s at Arsenal was a pivotal era: the last seasons of the First Division before the creation of the Premier League in 1992, the rise of Ian Wright, George Graham's legendary defence. This 1991-93 Adidas JVC away kit embodies all of that — a period that older Gunners still evoke with palpable nostalgia. Pieces from this generation are becoming increasingly rare on the vintage collector's football jersey market.

In 8/10 condition, this jersey stands out. The vast majority of examples still in circulation today show much more pronounced wear, peeling flocking, and tired fabrics. Here, we have a generally healthy piece, with total authenticity and an intact visual presence. There aren't many in this condition on the market — and those that have appeared often sold quickly.
