Arsenal and Liverpool will be wearing white and purple kits in their FA Cup clash on Sunday at Emirates Stadium.
Unifying Colors for a Cause: Arsenal and Liverpool’s Special Kit Choices for FA Cup Clash
In a gesture of unity for Arsenal’s “No More Red” campaign, which focuses on combating knife crime and safeguarding UK youth, Liverpool will wear the alternate color.
The unusual-looking “space” purple kit is actually the Reds 23/24 third kit. The club debuted the shirt against their Europa League opener against LASK last year. Interestingly, there were two iterations: one stadium dark purple versus a much lighter match version.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is too ditching its traditional red colors for an all-white color way. It marks the club’s third consecutive year donning the whiteout kit, thereby supporting the campaign against knife crime.
However, Arsenal will be wearing the all-white shirt for the first time at home. So forget red — it’s a white versus purple affair at the Emirates this weekend.
