Arsenal 2007/08 Away - Robin van Persie #11

Robin van Persie — The Elegant Finisher

The 2007–08 season marked Arsenal’s early years at the Emirates — a new home, a new generation, and a search for identity after the Invincibles. In the midst of it stood Robin van Persie, wearing the number 11 shirt with the composure and artistry that defined his game.

Crafted by Nike, this away kit combined a clean white base with burgundy trim, paying homage to the club’s heritage colors used during the farewell to Highbury. Subtle grey text lines across the fabric feature the club’s historical achievements, symbolizing a bridge between past glory and a modern era.

Though injuries limited Van Persie’s appearances that season, every time he took the field, he embodied Arsenal’s technical purity — elegant control, deadly finishing, and a calm defiance under Arsène Wenger’s philosophy.

This shirt captures that in-between moment — when Arsenal were still chasing the perfection of the Invincibles, led by a forward whose left foot could turn half-chances into art.
