The Arsenal Home shirt from the 2005/06 season was a significant one for a number of reasons. Here's a breakdown of its features and why it's so memorable for Arsenal fans:

Colors:

  • Primary: Redcurrant. This was a unique shade of red, a little darker than Arsenal's usual home shirt color. It gave the jersey a stylish and sophisticated look.

Material:

  • Likely made from 100% polyester, the standard material for jerseys in the mid-2000s. It would have provided breathability and comfort for the players during matches.

Brand:

  • Nike supplied the jersey, their swoosh logo embroidered on the right chest.

Legacy:

This jersey is significant for Arsenal fans for a few reasons:

  • Highbury farewell: It was the last season Arsenal played at their historic Highbury Stadium before moving to the Emirates Stadium.

  • Thierry Henry: The legendary Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry, wore this shirt during his final season at the club. He scored a hat-trick in the final home game at Highbury, a 4-2 victory over Wigan Athletic, and famously kissed the turf in celebration.

  • Champions League Final: Arsenal reached the Champions League final that season but were defeated by Barcelona.
