In October 1996, Arsène Wenger took charge of Arsenal. That season, he spearheaded tactical innovation: Dennis Bergkamp delivered 12 goals and 8 assists, while Dennis Overeem exploded down the flanks with 11 assists. The team staged a remarkable comeback from 12th place at the season's start to finish third in the Premier League (just 4 points behind the champions) and reached the FA Cup quarterfinals. Highlights included a 4-0 victory over Everton and a 3-1 win against Tottenham, showcasing the early impact of Wenger's possession-based style and laying the foundation for the following season's double triumph.
The kit, designed by Nike, featured a bright yellow base with navy blue horizontal stripes, accented by red and black trim on the collar and cuffs. The JVC white logo complemented the burgundy crest, showcasing retro color blocking that epitomized 1990s football aesthetics. It stands as one of Arsenal's iconic away kits.
This commemorative jersey from Wenger's inaugural season marks the Gunners' transformative leap from mediocrity to elite status. It encapsulates Bergkamp's peak passing brilliance while serving as a nostalgic relic for retro fans seeking to relive the Premier League's golden era—a piece equally valuable for collection and wear.
