The Design
Colorways earn their place in football history, and this 1988 design is a faithful recreation: every stripe, block, and accent placed as Arsenal wore them. The team palette reads instantly to any fan of the club.
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.
Before You Add to Cart
+What makes a better gift — home or away shirt
Home shirts are the iconic choice — the colors every neutral recognizes. Away shirts are the connoisseur's pick, marking specific seasons and famous away wins. If unsure, home is the safe classic; if the fan already owns the home version, the away shirt completes the set
+How do I order this Arsenal shirt
Choose your size from the selector, add the shirt to cart, and checkout with your preferred payment method. If you want custom name and number printing, select that option before adding. The whole process takes under two minutes
+Will this shirt be restocked if my size sells out
Most sold-out sizes return within a few weeks. Contact support to be flagged for the restock of this design — early-notice customers get first access when the shipment lands
+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
+Which player and number is printed on this shirt
This shirt carries Rocastle with the number 7 — the name and digits Rocastle wore for Arsenal that season. The lettering style matches the season's typography, so the back looks exactly as it did on the pitch
Ready to wear Rocastle's name on your back? Pick your size from the selector — and if you would rather have your own name and number, custom printing is one option away at checkout.
