Nike worked with English soccer team Arsenal to create a special commemorative jersey to celebrate Arsenal's 2014 FA Cup victory and its 20-year partnership with Nike. The shirt's mash-up design is inspired by a selection of [iconic Arsenal kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stanley-1913-x-arsenal-collection) from the past two decades.

The shirt itself is not for sale; it will be on display at the [Nike Phenomenal House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-soccer-jersey) in London from May 26-30 and at NikeTown London from May 31, before moving into its permanent home in the [Arsenal Football Club Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arsenal-football-club-and-maharishi) from June 30. Limited edition artwork prints of the shirt will be sold and will be available for purchase at Nike Phenomenal House.

The shirt is intended to act as a reminder of the various Nike kits worn during pivotal moments in Arsenal's modern history, such as the 2003-04 league season -- in which the team went undefeated -- and the 2004-2005 season, which marked the team's last season at its famous Highbury stadium. The jersey worn during Arsenal's FA Cup victory is used as the base for this mashup kit.
