NYC Mayor Wears Arsenal-Inspired Kurta to Celebrate Eid al-Adha
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani surprised attendees at a public Eid al-Adha prayer in the Bronx by wearing a custom kurta built around Arsenal’s blue away jersey. Known for his simple Suitsupply two-pieces and occasional streetwear, the mayor’s bold ensemble featured lightning-bolt patterns and Adidas stripes crafted by a longtime tailor in collaboration with the Brooklyn Invincibles fan club. Mamdani joined hundreds of Muslim New Yorkers just outside Yankee Stadium, where fellow worshippers wore traditional seafoam greens, deep purples, and white linen with gold embroidery. His choice of outfit underscored his down-to-earth image and drew attention to Eid’s themes of faith, charity, and unity. Speaking alongside US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mamdani highlighted Eid al-Adha’s message of sacrifice and solidarity. He wrote that honoring Prophet Ibrahim reminds us to extend a hand and work together so every New Yorker can afford groceries, housing, and child care.
