Between Heritage and the Terrace: Aquascutum Active x The Soccer Archive

Aquascutum Active presents a new editorial crafted in collaboration with The Soccer Archive, exploring the meeting point between British sporting heritage and modern performance design.

Shot with the understated clarity and functional elegance that define our Aquascutum Active line, the story brings together selected pieces from our new collection and a curated set of iconic football shirts drawn from some of the most storied clubs across the UK.

The result is a visual dialogue between eras: contemporary outerwear engineered for everyday movement, paired with football kits whose graphic identities have shaped decades of cultural memory, from the terraces to the streets.

• Arsenal FC 2005/2006 - Home Kit
  A modern classic from Arsenal’s Highbury farewell season, blending rich club heritage with early-2000s performance detailing.
  

Paired with Aquascutum Active garments, these shirts become more than nostalgic artefacts. They act as cultural connectors, symbols of loyalty, community, and British athletic identity. The styling juxtaposes the precision of contemporary techwear with the raw, emotional heritage of football imagery, creating an editorial that feels both elevated and authentic.

• Millwall 1994/1995 - Away
  
  A distinct kit defined by its sharp graphic patterning and the unmistakable attitude of South London football culture.
  

• Chelsea 1987 - Away
  
  A striking piece from the late-80s era of bold colour blocking.
  

• Stoke City 2015 - Home
  
  A contemporary interpretation of traditional red-and-white stripes, symbolising the grit and identity of the Potteries.
  

• Wimbledon FC 1999 - Home
  
  A cult favourite from the “Crazy Gang” years, a shirt that carries the rebellious spirit and underdog energy of Wimbledon’s legacy.
