Page "Throwback uniform" Paragraph 27

' Retro shirts ', as they are known in the United Kingdom, are also sometimes used in association football, albeit ( as with the NFL ) with modern fabrics.

In 2005-06 Arsenal changed their home colours from their traditional red and white to a variant of maroon known as redcurrant as a commemoration of their final season at Highbury Stadium ; this colour was the same shade the team had worn when they had moved to Highbury in 1913.

Redcurrant still plays a part in their kits ; an alternate kit being worn features redcurrant pinstriping as of 2009-10.
