On this day in 1933, Arsenal unveiled a new kit design that replaced their traditional all-red shirts to the familiar red shirts with white sleeves.
Manager Herbert Chapman who was known to be an innovator, someone who always thought from outside the box, believed that the new design would help the players’ vision on the pitch making it easier for them to pick each other out. Only it did not work out quite as well from the start.
The previous weekend, Arsenal in their all-red kit had thrashed Blackburn Rovers 8-0 at Highbury.
