Arsenal, Nike Create Special 20-Year Commemorative Shirt 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon May 19, 2014 12:20 am

Nike and Arsenal have created a limited edition commemorative shirt following the club's 2014 FA Cup victory to celebrate their 20-year partnership.

Arsenal's deal with Puma begins on June 1.

The shirt, which uses the current 2013/14 home kit as its base, incorporates a unique design that is inspired by 20 of the most iconic Arsenal kits from the past two decades.

Marc van Pappelendam, VP/GM of Nike UK & Ireland, commented: "Nike has enjoyed a wonderful partnership with Arsenal Football Club. As the Arsenal team became more iconic, their kit designs followed suit. The kits which Nike has produced for the club over the last 20 years tell a story; a timeline of success which will be remembered for a long time to come."

Limited edition, individually-numbered prints of the shirt will be created and sold, with all proceeds going to The Arsenal Foundation; an organization that focuses on motivating and inspiring young people through education and sport.
