Created in homage to the glorious era of shirt design that was the mid-90s, Cult Kits and SoccerBible come together to present ‘The Dreamer Collection’: a striking design in three colour options that nods to the 95/96 Arsenal shirt.
Cult Kits and SoccerBible share the same appreciation of 90s-era football – that special period in the beautiful game's past that is finally receiving the plaudits it deserves, enjoying a full fledged renaissance in recent years. Joining forces for a passion project that is part celebration, part homage, ‘The Dreamers Collection’ has been created to reflect football fashion heritage with a focus on a decade that inspired a generation.
Those who can cast their minds back to the 1995/96 season will remember the striking design of the Arsenal away shirt, as worn by Ian Wright in his record-breaking season. And it is this design that forms the basis of ‘The Dreamers Collection’, with that same sublimated lightning bolt graphic forming the base of the big and baggy shirt, complete with stand-up collar.
The Nike shirt is available in red, blue or green, and it features several callouts to the era. A gothic presentation of ‘SoccerBible’ takes up the sponsor slot on the centre of the shirt, while the crest and the rear of the shirt callout the ‘Dreamer’ tag.
Then, running along the bottom are the words ’Just Done It’, that famous message prematurely revealed by Wright when he broke Cliff Bastin’s club record, although the blunder was swiftly retconned when the Arsenal legend bagged another two goals to seal his record.
Modelled by Arsenal fan ZieZie, the collection provides a nostalgic blast of 90s-infused style, adding fresh flavour to one of the most talked about templates of a generation. But a word of warning: this is a limited collection, so when they're gone, they're gone.
