Had you told me that Places + Faces and Arsenal FC would collaborate back in 2014, I’d have asked you why. But now this link-up makes total sense.

This collection is a prime example of how far the football-to-fashion crossover has come. You only have to head back to the 2010s, to find the two hardly understood one-another. And now Michael Owen has got an exclusive collection with Peacocks, so there’s no sign of slowing down.

Saka, Calafiori and Madueke all front the campaign, sporting the jersey, velvet track jacket and gothic t-shirt respectively. The placement of the cherubs and cannon are a solid touch, a symbol that like any tattoo, says your support for Arsenal is for life.

But it’s not just the athlete faces that’ll you’ll spot, as UK MC Chip and soulful singer-songwriter Joy Crookes get their Gooner loyalty cards stamped. Let's hope these two hop on a track and create the next best fan anthem.

Photographed both inside and outside Arsenal’s independent supporters club is owner Peggy, a certified piece of club history to any fan that has made the hallowed walk to the Emirates. Ask any true supporter and they’d tell you there is no other face more deserving of a feature than hers.

Not only are the gothic prints and monograms absolutely on the nail, the message this Places + Faces drop carries is one we can get all behind. A message that says no matter how big or small your role at the club, everyone has a part to play.

Dropping via the adidas.co.uk and Arsenal website on the 12th of March 2026, the Place + Faces collection includes long- and short-sleeve shirts, a track top, track pants, shorts, hoodie, graphic tee and Climacool jacket, alongside accessories such as a bandana, waist bag, scarf and socks.
