Arsenal finished fourth in the Premier League during the 2010/11 campaign under Arsène Wenger, securing qualification for the following season's UEFA Champions League.
The Gunners entered the campaign with a squad featuring established players including Cesc Fàbregas, Robin van Persie, Samir Nasri, Theo Walcott, Andrey Arshavin, Jack Wilshere and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. Summer arrivals Laurent Koscielny, Marouane Chamakh and Sébastien Squillaci provided additional options as Wenger's side looked to challenge for domestic and European honours.
Arsenal remained among the Premier League's leading contenders throughout much of the campaign, recording important victories against Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United. A 3–1 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium in December demonstrated the team's attacking quality, with goals from Alex Song, Fàbregas and Walcott.
By the end of February, Arsenal were within one point of league leaders Manchester United, maintaining hopes of securing their first championship since 2003/04. However, a sequence of draws and defeats during March and April affected their title challenge, with Arsenal eventually finishing fourth on 68 points.
Van Persie enjoyed a productive campaign, scoring 18 Premier League goals despite missing part of the season through injury. Nasri also made an important contribution, scoring 15 goals across all competitions and earning recognition for his performances.
Arsenal came closest to silverware in the League Cup, progressing to the final against Birmingham City at Wembley. Van Persie cancelled out Nikola Žigić's opening goal, but an 89th-minute winner from Obafemi Martins secured a 2–1 victory for Birmingham.
In the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal progressed to the Round of 16, where they faced Barcelona. A memorable 2–1 victory at the Emirates Stadium was followed by a 3–1 defeat at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona progressing 4–3 on aggregate. Arsenal also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, where Manchester United secured a 2–0 victory at Old Trafford.
Produced by Nike, the 2010/11 Arsenal long-sleeve home shirt featured the club's traditional red body with contrasting white sleeves, complemented by a white crew-neck collar and red sleeve cuffs. The design incorporated the Arsenal crest, Nike branding and Fly Emirates sponsor, returning to a particularly traditional interpretation of the club's colours.
Worn by players including Fàbregas, Van Persie, Nasri, Walcott and Wilshere, the shirt became associated with Arsenal's Premier League title challenge and appearance in the League Cup final. Its understated design and classic red-and-white colour combination make it a recognisable example of Arsenal's Nike era under Wenger.

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.
Our condition guide
10/10 - Brand New with Tags
Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.
9/10 - Mint
Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.
8/10 - Excellent
A well-kept piece with minor signs of age or use. This could include light bobbling, slight fading or very small marks, but it still presents really well.
7/10 - Very Good
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.
