Worn across the 1990/91 and 1991/92 campaigns, this Arsenal drill top featured during a memorable period under George Graham, which included the club's tenth First Division title.
Arsenal enjoyed an outstanding 1990/91 league campaign, finishing as champions with 83 points and losing just once in 38 matches. The Gunners finished seven points ahead of Liverpool, securing their second league title in three seasons.
Their only league defeat came against Chelsea in February 1991, while Arsenal also overcame a two-point deduction imposed following an altercation involving players during a match against Manchester United.
The campaign saw the arrival of Anders Limpar and the emergence of a formidable defensive unit featuring Tony Adams, Steve Bould, Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon and goalkeeper David Seaman. Alan Smith finished as the First Division's leading scorer with 22 league goals, winning the Golden Boot for the second time in his Arsenal career.
The following season saw Arsenal finish fourth in the First Division with 72 points, in what proved to be the final campaign before the introduction of the Premier League. The Gunners also returned to European competition in the European Cup, although their campaign ended against Benfica in the second round.
Ian Wright joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace in September 1991 and made an immediate impact, finishing as the First Division's leading scorer with 29 goals across his appearances for both clubs. His arrival marked the beginning of a prolific Arsenal career that would see him become one of the club's most celebrated forwards.
Produced by adidas, this 1990–92 drill top formed part of Arsenal's training apparel during the final years of the old First Division. Associated with Graham's championship-winning side and the arrival of Ian Wright, it represents a significant period in the club's history.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.

Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.

Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.

Noticeable wear consistent with age. This may include moderate fading, small pulls, bobbling, minor cracking to print or a small mark.
6/10 and below - Good with Noticeable Signs of Wear
More obvious signs of wear or ageing. This might include heavier fading, marks, pulls, print wear or repairs.
Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
