This O₂-sponsored Nike shirt accompanied Arsenal as defending “Invincibles” when their record 49-game league unbeaten run ended at Manchester United in October 2004. This particular kit is famously associated with the "Stand Up Speak Up" anti-racism campaign, a Nike-led initiative fronted by Thierry Henry that saw Arsenal players wearing a special edition version with a black and white interlocking wristband logo during their high-stakes encounter against Manchester United at Highbury on February 1, 2005. This match is legendary for the "Tunnel Incident," where club captain Patrick Vieira and United's Roy Keane had a heated confrontation before kick-off, a moment that epitomized the era's fierce rivalry. Despite the pre-match tension and Vieira scoring the opening goal in the 8th minute, Arsenal eventually lost the game 2-4. This season was particularly significant for Patrick Vieira as it was his final year with the Gunners; he captained the side to an FA Cup victory, scoring the decisive winning penalty in the shootout against Manchester United in the final, before departing for Juventus. Players who wore the kit: Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg, Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, Cesc Fàbregas, Robin van Persie
