Arsenal will continue their fight against knife crime and youth violence in north London by wearing an all-white strip during the FA Cup third round against Manchester United.
The Gunners women's team will also ditch the club's famous red kit for their FA Cup fourth round tie against Bristol City, which will also take place on Sunday.
It marks the fourth year of their No More Red campaign with Adidas, which was first launched in 2022 to support the club's work to keep young people safe in the local area.
Gunners stars Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Alessia Russo discussed the campaign in three short films featuring three community leaders inspiring change in North London.
The club has released images of the jerseys that will be worn this weekend, showing their clothing 'stripped of its signature red' to draw attention to the initiative.
The kit will not be available for purchase, but instead jerseys will be awarded to individuals who the club says are 'making a positive difference in the community'.
Adidas and Arsenal are committed to working with Islington Council's Parent Empowerment Champions to host a child safety and football event at the Arsenal Hub.
In addition, they will be working with No More Red charity partner Abianda, London's Violence Reduction Unit and Advance for an event at the Arsenal Hub to mark 16 Days of Activism against violence against girls and women.
Declan Rice said: 'There is enormous pride you feel when you put on the No More Red shirt. Having such a special bond with our supporters in our community gives us a great understanding of the people we represent and the role we can play as players in raising awareness around issues of youth crime and violence.
'Their stories give us inspiration that fuels our performances. Our community drives us forward and we win together.”
Last season, during their third round match against Liverpool in the Emirates, Jurgen Klopp's side also refrained from wearing their red kit in a show of support for the campaign.
The Gunners suffered a 2-0 defeat to the Merseysiders, in fact they are yet to progress beyond the fourth round of the FA Cup since the initiative began in 2022.
That has proven to be a source of contention for some supporters on social media, who have made their feelings known on the strip.
One supporter wrote on X: 'Have we ever won a match wearing this shirt?' Another said: 'Since this campaign we have never made it to the round of 16.'
