Nike Sportswear Arsenal 125 ‘Forever Forward’ Destroyer Jacket
Celebrating the 125th anniversary of London’s Arsenal FC, Nike Sportswear has created the Arsenal 125 Collection, which includes a special edition NSW Destroyer Jacket.
The front of the jacket sees a bold felt and leather ‘A’ appliqué taken from the lettering in the club crest that featured from 1949 to 2002. The club’s Latin motto that also debuted that year is present as tonal embroidery on the right sleeve. It proudly proclaims Victoria Concordia Crescit that translates as ‘Victory comes from harmony.’ The bottom of the same sleeve also sees a direct embroidered ‘AFC’ graphic inspired by their late 70s cannon iconographyThe Arsenal 125 NSW Destroyer Jacket will be available (in an edition of 125) from 1948, FOOTPATROL and NikeTown London on Friday 29th July 2011.
The left sleeve continues the appreciation of the club’s heritage as it features abstract references to crests of the past. Satin-stitched leather appliqués pay homage to the notable moments in the club’s history, including the 1930 FA Cup Final ‘Monogram’ badge and the 1952 FA Cup Final ‘Art Deco’ badge. The interior of the right lapel carries a striking homage to the 125th anniversary in the form of Roman numerals aligned in leather and satin to make up a ‘CXXV’ graphic, divided by gold embroidered accents.

R.I.P Amy Winehouse - A True Legend!
Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011)
Amy Jade Winehouse was an English singer-songwriter known for her powerful deep contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz.
Winehouse's 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys,including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. On 14 February 2007, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album. She won the Ivor Novello Award three times, one in 2004 for Best Contemporary Song (musically and lyrically) for "Stronger Than Me", one in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for "Rehab", and one in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game", among other distinctions. The album was the third biggest seller of the 2000s in the United Kingdom.
Winehouse is credited as an influence in the rise in popularity of female musicians and soul music, and also for revitalising British music. Winehouse's distinctive style made her a muse for fashion designers such as Karl Lagerfeld. Winehouse's problems with drug and alcohol abuse, violence, and her self-destructive behaviours were regular tabloid news from 2007 until her death. She and her former husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were plagued by legal troubles that left him serving prison time. In 2008, Winehouse faced a series of health complications that threatened both her career and her life.
Winehouse died at the age of 27 on 23 July 2011, at her home in London;police have said that the cause of her death is "as yet unexplained". Winehouse's family and friends attended her funeral on 26 July 2011.
