Story of the shirt:

This classic Arsenal shirt was worn by the Gunners across two seasons, starting with 97/98, Arsene Wenger's first full season in charge. 97/98 was a huge success for the Frenchman's new-look Arsenal, with the side winning their first league title in 8 years and the FA Cup thanks to a 2-0 win over Newcastle in the final. 98/99, meanwhile, was the story of another epic battle with Man United – as was customary in that era – with Arsenal very narrowly losing out on the Premier League title by one point on the final day of the season. To add insult to injury, they also were knocked out of the FA Cup by United thanks to a legendary 109th minute goal from Ryan Giggs in the semi final replay. Although this shirt was worn during the beginning of the Wenger era at Arsenal, it also signalled the end of another significant one, as it was the final Arsenal shirt to feature the legendary JVC sponsor in 98/99. After thirteen years on the front of the Gunners' shirts, JVC was dropped in favour of Dreamcast the following season. A true classic, then.

A note on vintage condition

All of our items are authentic original vintage. That's to say, they're NOT new garments, they're items made in the original era listed above, not remakes or fakes.

With this in mind, the condition of each item can vary. Whilst we also give a rating out of 10 for the condition of each item, it's possible you may find other small imperfections (like bobbles etc) that are not explicitly mentioned in our condition rating.

For that reason, we reserve the 10/10 condition rating only for new items, such as deadstock shirts that still have their original tags attached.

Our returns policy allows you to return any item within a 30 day period, no questions asked, as long as it's in the same condition as when you received it. Read our full returns policy here.
