Top ten Arsenal retro and vintage Christmas gifts

If you're stuck for an xmas gift for the mature gooner in your life, look no further. Here are ten Christmas present ideas which should raise a smile.

1. Bruised banana gifts

Arsenal bruised banana gear

The Arsenal online store sells a wide range of products based on the famous bruised banana design of the early 1990s. Duvet sets, face masks, hats, towels ... if you can think of it, they probably sell it.

Or, you can head to ebay.

2. Vintage replica shirts

You can buy a replica of the classic green away shirt from 3Retro.com. Arsenal Direct also have a good selection of shirts from the 1980s and 1990s.

However, if it's an original you're after, ebay is your best bet.

3. Adidas retro jacket

A new Adidas take on a retro design. Combines the new Adidas logo with the cannon, which won't be to everyone's taste, but I think it looks wonderful. Available from Arsenal Direct.

4. Arsene Wenger's autobiography


The great man recalls the highs and lows of his time managing Arsenal. Available pretty much everywhere, including Amazon.


5. Signed and framed Arsenal shirts


You can buy the rather wonderful example above from Amazon, or Arsenal Direct stock a variety of signed shirts from both legends and the current team.

Or, again, there's always ebay.

6. Arsenal 70s jacket


Probably the classiest retro item available in the Arsenal shop right now.

7. For the female gooner in your life


You'll find a big selection of clothes and other memorabilia, both retro and modern at Arsenal Direct.

8. 89 Champions


It never gets old does it? Well, maybe. But Arsenal still pay tribute to the amazing achievement of the 89 team with a number of products. Or you could relive it all again with the 89 film or Amy Lawrence's fantastic book.

9. Highbury prints

Arsenal Direct sell a wide range of prints and photos, including several of Highbury, which is where many of our hearts still belong.

10. Arsenal gift card

And if you really can't decide on one of the above, take the stress of the decision making away and go for an Arsenal gift card.
