20 YEARS OF WRITING HISTORY TOGETHER 

Today marks the beginning of a series of celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary and renewal of our partnership with Emirates, the Premier League's longest-running front-of-shirt partnership and one of the most recognisable in world sport.  

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

To celebrate this milestone and the very best of the Emirates Era, we entrusted the help of club legend, Per Mertesacker, to bring these moments to life in a special film. Per played a huge role in building the strong foundations that delivered recent success which have helped propel us into this new chapter of success on and off the pitch.  

Set in a north London antiques store, this film showcases the rich history of our partnership with Arsenal stories woven into rugs, paintings, crockery and tapestries.  

THE MAKING OF

MOMENTS THAT MADE THE EMIRATES ERA

THIERRY HENRY RUG

Thierry Henry returns to The Arsenal. That emotion-fuelled winner against Leeds United at Emirates Stadium in the FA Cup third round in January 2012 added another, unforgettable chapter to his Arsenal story.  

'HISTORY IN THE MAKING' GLOBE DRINKS CABINET

An Emirates Boeing 777-300ER aircraft adorns the top of a beautiful globe-shaped drinks cabinet. A nod to Emirates' central role in bringing supporters from around the world, closer to the club.  

CHAMPIONS PARADE BUS

Our victory parade celebrations made for incredible scenes on the streets of north London with hundreds of thousands of supporters in attendance and tuning in from around the world, making the historic occasion as memorable as it should have been. 

SANTI CAZORLA PLATE

Ohhh! Santi Cazorla! Our Spanish number 19 was known for producing many moments of magic throughout the Emirates era, including that free kick against Hull in the 2014 FA Cup final.  

BUKAYO SAKA JUG

Our Number 7. Bukayo has been with us throughout the Emirates era - from Hale End through to the first team. The image used on this jug is a tribute to the moment he signed his new contract earlier this year.

KELLY SMITH TEAPOT

A true Arsenal legend. Kelly Smith MBE won 11 trophies and scored 130 goals in 156 games for us between 1996 and 2017.

NORTH LONDON DERBY TIFO PLATE

The iconic north London derby tifo featuring players past and present has cemented itself in Emirates Stadium and Arsenal folklore. Designed by Dan Evans.

EMIRATES CABIN CREW HAT

First introduced in 1985, the Emirates cabin crew hat has evolved to become one of the most recognisable icons in aviation.

OLIVIER GIROUD CUCKOO CLOCK

Olivier Giroud’s outrageous Puskas award-winning scorpion kick against Crystal Palace in 2017 had everyone in disbelief. The perfect addition to a cuckoo clock to remind us of that moment.

EMIRATES ‘HOME OF THE CHAMPIONS’ BANNER

Emirates Stadium has been our home for 20 years and last season cemented it as the home of the Premier League champions.

THE NEXT CHAPTER BEGINS
AT EMIRATES CUP


Keep an eye out for a series of activations on matchday at Emirates Cup where you can experience our anniversary and renewal celebrations
from an on-pitch banner and half-time activation to an exhibition in the Emirates Lounge on club level.

HISTORY STILL TO BE MADE


The renewal comes at a pivotal moment in the club’s history following our recent Premier League title. With that comes great excitement as we enter a new era together with Emirates.
