What is 'bruised banana'?

The 'bruised banana' is a famous nickname for Arsenal's away kit from the early 1990s, known for its distinctive yellow and blue zig-zag pattern. Initially divisive, it's since become a cult classic among fans. Its reappearance in a modernised form, rated best in the Independent ranking, shows how nostalgic designs can be successfully reinterpreted for new generations.
