Day in the Life: Embracing Terrace Culture with Arsenal

Supporting a sports team offers an unmatched feeling of camaraderie, as a variety of fans journey side by side, bonded by one shared ambition – triumph. This sentiment resonates particularly strongly with Arsenal, a team whose influence extends profoundly within their city.

In the most recent installment of “Day in the Life“, renowned jewelry designer Jyrrel Roberts and his partner Sofia Testino are joined by a legendary football club, as we delve into their experiences during the significant north London derby.

As an ardent Arsenal fan since childhood, observing his team play has become a tradition for Roberts. He reminisces about watching matches as a youngster at his grandmother’s house. “Those family gatherings to watch live games on TV bring back wonderful memories,” he reflects. “Attending the north London Derby at the stadium now is simply exhilarating.

Following their preparations, the duo ventured to Ian Wright’s preferred Caribbean eatery, Juss Jerk (which is just next to the stadium), for a “pre-game bite.” Dressed in the latest Arsenal x adidas “Terrace Icons” line, Roberts selected the full tracksuit ensemble, while Testino opted for a dress. Both donned the team’s exclusive version of the classic Gazelle shoe design.

Terrace Icons” is a new collection that draws inspiration from the fashionable ’80s, an era when football started blending with style. Following last year’s VRCT collection that revamped the varsity lifestyle inspired by the club’s cultural history, this new line showcases the brand’s traditional Trefoil symbol and Arsenal’s historic cannon logo. The 11-piece range is characterized by a classic color combination of “Navy” and “Red”.

Excited to feel the unique vibe of the game right from the stands at Emirates Stadium, they made their way to their seats. Anticipating a 2-1 victory for Arsenal before the match even started, Roberts predicted this outcome, and indeed it materialized as fans cheered in triumph upon the final whistle being blown.
