The Design
Football design is a language, and this shirt speaks it fluently. The 1988 Arsenal colorway, the era-correct typography on the back, the clean front — it is the kind of kit that looks considered from every angle.
Fit & Fabric
A quick note on versions: this is the supporter's cut of the shirt. Same colors, same crest, same name and number as the on-pitch design, with a relaxed fit that makes it wearable seven days a week rather than ninety minutes.
Common Questions About This Shirt
+What is the fit like — slim or relaxed
It is an athletic cut — shaped through the shoulders with a slight taper, but comfortable through the torso. If you prefer a boxier retro look, sizing up once gives you exactly that
+I am between two sizes — which should I pick
Go with the larger size. Football shirts layered under jackets or worn to the pub before kick-off feel better with a touch of extra room, and a slightly relaxed fit is the most common way fans wear them anyway
+Do you have a size chart in inches and centimeters
Yes — the size chart on this page lists chest measurements in inches with centimeter conversions alongside, covering every size from kids small to adult XXL. Sizing in metric or imperial, you can order with confidence
+Is this a good shirt for everyday wear, not just match days
Absolutely — that is honestly how most fans use them. Polyester football shirts double as summer tees, gym tops, and streetwear layering pieces. The breathable fabric and bold colors have made them a year-round wardrobe staple far beyond the stadium
+How do I remove stains from a football shirt
Cold water and mild detergent handle most match-day stains. For stubborn ones, dab (do not rub) with diluted vinegar before a normal cold wash. Bleach is the enemy of colored football shirts
+What is the difference between the fan version and player version shirt
Same design, two cuts. Player version: athletic fit and performance fabric like the pros wear. Fan version: identical colors and crest in a relaxed cut built for the stands, the street, and the sofa. Both carry Ljungberg's name and number
+Which player and number is printed on this shirt
The back reads Ljungberg 8, applied in the lettering style of that Arsenal season. It is the exact pairing fans remember from the campaign
