adidas and Arsenal Drop the No More Red Initiative
adidas and Arsenal work in collaboration to launch the No More Red initiative with the purpose of combating youth knife crime. The two join forces to create a special edition jersey to help invest and refurbish safe spaces to play football along with a mentorship scheme that pairs youth in the community with creatives.
Some of the creatives include the names of Idris Elba, Reuben Dangoor, and Ian Wright. The jersey is all-white in terms of the color palette and is set to be worn by the team during the FA Cup 3rd round as they play against Nottingham Forest. These kits won't be available commercially and will be donated to community organizations that help find the root causes of knife crime and violence.
