They wore the kit for the first time in 2022 against Nottingham Forest before doing so again versus Oxford United a year later and then for the first time at home against Liverpool last January – all in the third round of the FA Cup The Gunners’ record when wearing the white kit stands at two losses and just a solitary win after they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool 12 months ago, suffered a shock defeat to Forest in the first fixture and hammered Oxford 3-0 in 2023. The ‘No More Red’ campaign in in conjunction with Arsenal kit manufacturers Adidas and the Gunners women’s side will also sport the all-white strip in their Women’s FA Cup fourth-round clash with Bristol City, having done so for the first time against Watford last January. “Young people face multiple challenges as they grow up in today’s world and we don’t have all the answers, but we are confident that by acting together and shining a light on the support network available across our community, we can make a significant contribution to the lives of our participants.” The Gunners are trying to win the FA Cup for a record-extending 15th time this season, with their most recent victory coming in 2020, when Mikel Arteta picked up his first trophy as manager.
