New York mayor Zohran Mamdani turns heads in Arsenal-themed Eid attire
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew attention on Wednesday after appearing in an Arsenal FC-inspired kurta during Eid al-Adha celebrations in the Bronx.
The city’s first Muslim mayor and known Arsenal supporter wore a striking blue-and-black outfit featuring red sleeve stripes and the "Emirates Fly Better" branding linked to the club’s sponsor.
The ensemble, blending football aesthetics with traditional Islamic attire, quickly generated discussion online.
Mamdani, who attended the Eid gathering alongside Democratic Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, used the occasion to reflect on the holiday’s significance and to reiterate his message of solidarity and community-focused governance.
