Arsenal Football Club is a professional English Premier League football club based in North London. One of the most successful clubs in English football, they have won 13 First Division and Premier League titles and 10 FA Cups. They hold the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the English top flight and are the only side to have completed a Premier League season unbeaten.

Arsenal was founded in 1886 in Woolwich and in 1893 became the first club from the south of England to join the Football League. In 1913, they moved north across the city to Arsenal Stadium in Highbury. In the 1930s they won five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. After a lean period in the post-war years they won the League and FA Cup Double, in the 1970–71 season, and in the 1990s and first decade of the 21st century won two more Doubles and reached the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final.ARSENAL also hav gone through an entire league season unbeaten in 2003-04 and r called INVINCIBLES..they hold a 49 match unbeaten record frm may 2003 to october 2004

The new shirt features a special 125th anniversary crest design combining the graphic of the first Club crest with the current version. The anniversary dates of 1886 and 2011 feature on the heart of the shirt, with the word ‘FORWARD’ sitting underneath as a tribute to the Club’s first motto.

While the history and tradition of the Club is present in the shirt design, the new home kit is made from Nike’s ground-breaking recycled polyester – which for the first time includes both the shirt and shorts.

Each complete kit is made up of up to fourteen reclaimed plastic water bottles. This new manufacturing process reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to manufacturing traditional polyester saving a huge amount of plastic water bottles from being dumped at landfill sites.
