Arsenal will be playing their FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest on Sunday in a completely white kit as part of a ‘No More Red‘ campaign, with the purpose of calling attention to the increase in knife crime in London. There were 30 teenage fatalities in the British capital confirmed as victims of knife crime in 2021.

The all-white one-off kit won’t be made commercially available.

It’s certainly a great way for top-level football clubs to make use of their popularity to spread an important message.
