ARSENAL fans can now camouflage themselves on the train — in a new shirt inspired by seats.
It features the bold pattern seen on the London Underground line that runs past the stadium.
The new tops will be worn during warm-ups by their players, including Emile Smith Rowe.
It follows a collaboration between the club, Transport for London and Adidas.
Arsenal is the only footie team to have a Tube station named after it. Then-manager Herbert Chapman lobbied to change it from Gillespie Road on the Piccadilly Line in 1932.
Warren Macdonald, area manager of Arsenal station, said: “Arsenal station has had a deep relationship with the football club for almost 90 years and there is nothing quite like the atmosphere and excitement on a match day.
“I look forward to seeing fans passing through the station wearing this eye-catching new pre-match range on their way to and from the stadium.”
Artist and Arsenal fan Reuben Dangoor was also commissioned to design an Oyster card depicting the station with its old and current names.
