Arsenal will wear their traditional red and white home strip for this season's FA Cup Final encounter against Manchester United before switching to the claret for their final season at Highbury, the colour worn by the club when they moved to Highbury in the early 1910s.
Manchester United, holders of the Cup, will wear their black shirts, black shorts and white socks at the Millennium Stadium next month, and will be hoping the outcome is similar to the last time they wore the colours against the Gunners.
In 2003, Arsenal beat Southampton in the final, in their home colours, and as both clubs chase the only trophy available to them, defeat would be disastrous for the team who ends this season trophyless.
The officials, led by Rob Styles who has been appointed referee, will wear their change kit of yellow so as not to clash with the United strip.
As ever, the famous coin "tossing" decided who would wear their home colours, as well as which end the clubs would occupy.
Arsenal will occupy the North End of the stadium, with the players using the North dressing rooms and the North bench.
That may provide a boost for the
The North End is still considered the "lucky" end of the ground, with every team until Stoke's play-off Final win in 2002, winning after changing at that part of the ground.
That trend has failed to continue since Stoke's win and several teams have now won from the South End.
Defeat for either team will be disastrous with one ending the season without having won a trophy.
