Arsenal has always been at the cutting edge of the football world. And no man in Arsenal's illustrious history has been more innovative than Herbert Chapman.
Chapman was a true visionary, a master tactician, and his arrival at Highbury in 1925 ushered in a golden era for the Club. Never one to rest on his laurels, Chapman's innovations transformed Arsenal and the whole landscape of football in Britain.
In 1930 he guided Arsenal to its first major trophy - the FA Cup - and went on to win league titles in 1931 and 1933. Chapman's untimely death in January 1934 stunned the football world but his work had already elevated Arsenal to the highest echelons of the game.
But Chapman was about so much more than success on the pitch; his far-sighted ideas and methods quite simply changed football. That's why the Club's new away kit will celebrate the pioneering spirit of the late, great Arsenal manager.
In the weeks building up to the kit launch, we'll be focusing on Chapman's innovations. Arsenal.com will tell the story behind the ideas which transformed the game forever.
