Sierra Leonean native Foday Dumbuya, the CEO of Labrum Clothing Company, is the graphic designer behind the 2024/2025 Arsenal Away Kit. This kit is inspired by the cultural heritage of Africa, showcasing Dumbuya’s commitment to celebrating his roots.
Dumbuya has an impressive background, having worked for Nike for over 15 years as a creative director before transitioning to Adidas, one of the leading sports brands globally. His experience and vision have culminated in a design that pays homage to African heritage.
The new Arsenal away kit features black, green, and red stripes with the new cannon Arsenal badge printed in red. This combination is symbolic, reflecting the significant contributions of African players to the club over the past decade.
The kit represents a gesture of appreciation from Arsenal to Africa, acknowledging the continent’s substantial fan base. The 2024/2025 league season kits by Arsenal are a testament to the creative prowess of Foday Dumbuya, now the Creative Director for Adidas.
