We partnered closely with Ray Parlour to bring his vision to life, capturing the defining moments and highlights of his legendary career.
It was through our discussions with Ray that we got a chance to understand exactly how he wanted his jersey to look. Since we have complete creative freedom to execute that vision with O'Neills bespoke kits, we began creating that one-off jersey with special touches that celebrate Ray's footballing journey. As we did with Ray, our custom service allows us to develop very individual kits that reflect the player's own story.
Ray's bespoke kit has a capable touch of personal memorialisation, including a tribute to Highbury, Arsenal's former historic ground and also a nod to the legendary 'bruised banana' print used early in the 90s for an Arsenal kit. Ray's nickname, "The Romford Pele," is displayed prominently upon his kit, along with a tribute to his famous goal celebration during the 2002 FA Cup final against Chelsea. We finished off the design honouring the many trophies Ray won with Arsenal, from league and FA Cups. This tailor-made kit is simply not an item of clothing but a tribute to a footballing legend and his legacy.
O'Neills invariably produces the right bespoke kit for every player, guaranteeing exactly what every athlete needs: performance gear that's as original as the player themselves but also fits perfectly. The highly technical gear ranges from the performance type for every athlete to the truly individual kits for those special moments.
