The statement will be made by the team when they play the Forest.
The launch of the No More Red outreach and anti-knife crime initiative with adidas will include a one-off all-white strip game between the two teams.
The red shirt will be removed and the team will wear a white one for the first time in the FA Cup.
The kits will not be commercially available and will only be given to individuals who are making a positive difference in the community.
The work of the club's kit manufacturer will be used to provide fresh investment for safe spaces to play football, and mentorship opportunities for local young leaders, including Ian Wright and Isiah Elba.

The No More Red anti-knife crime initiative is being launched by adidas and is intended to help tackle youth violence. As part of that, the club will wear a custom kit for the FA Cup match against Forest.
I hope it makes an impact that ripples into other football clubs, and that it encourages other collaboration ideas, and investment in practical things to help young people, like the one I went to in Forest Gate where I played sport and fell in love with.
We need to give young people another option and alternative to knife crime and gangs. It's about what we can offer them.
Some of the root causes of knife crime and youth violence will be addressed thanks to the 10 shirts worn by the players in the cup tie. The Don't Stab Your Future initiative uses fashion to support people working to keep kids away from crime.
The No More Red initiative is a cause that instantly struck a chord with the actor, who used his status to raise awareness about knife crime.
The reasons why they are doing this are very clear to me.
People always say to me: "Idris, you came from the same place I came from, how did you do it?" It's the same with the athletes.
"To see these two giants say we want to do something significant, specific to the culture of football, that says we are watching, we care, we want to do something - that really struck me." It really did.
Our biggest collaboration is with the fans.
Gabriel Martinelli is wearing a white shirt.
No man is an island, so it takes a village. That's where partnerships raise awareness.
The fans are our biggest collaboration. Millions of people get together to watch football on Saturdays and Sundays.
The power of collaboration is what you start your football journey with. adidas, Ian Wright, and everyone else are here to amplify this message.

The violence on London streets is discussed by Ian Wright and the voices of the North London community.
Football is the place to watch your team and see the fans, and celebrate your unionship, I don't think you can get anywhere else.
Football makes you feel like you're in this together and that's how powerful sport is. Football is a beacon of light for the youth, but it's probably under-used in the sense that it connects with the youth and how it can become a beacon of light.
The temperature of the violence will be different in 2021.
The No More Red initiative is supported by a Londoner.
In the 12 months leading up to June last year, there were over 10,000 knife crimes in the capital.
The issue of knife crime has been worsened by the effects of the coronaviruses epidemic and the effects of the lock down.
The temperature of the violence in 2021 was completely different than in the 80's, and one of the key things we didn't go through was a two, three-year Pandemic which has put a strain on the world and citizens of the world, but our country in a way
The 30 kids that were killed, if we hadn't gone through that difficult time, might still be alive.
For more than 35 years,Arsenal in the Community has been working on positive local initiatives.
I'm not saying there wouldn't be knife crime if it wasn't for the Pandemic, but it has made it worse for everyone. The level of violence in the gang culture has taken on a different form because of the high stress levels.
The last two years in particular have been dangerous, and that's what I think has changed from when I was a kid. It's tragic that knife culture has seeped onto the streets and into the communities, it's gotten worse.
"We are at a point in time where we can say we want to change it, and shine a light on it, that we've had enough and as a village, we want to do something about it."
"We're never going to get to the heart of why knife crime happens, but what we can do is make a lot of noise about it, so people are a lot more aware."
It's about showing people that we are paying attention and creating that awareness.
Ian Wright believes that they can make a difference.
Club legend Wright also features in a series of videos with players Emile Smith Rowe, Bakayo Saka, and Reiss Nelson where they make a plea for an end to knife violence.
Wright said that every young person should have the chance to express themselves. There is an opportunity to exist in a safe environment. The chance to live without fear.
Ian Wright is a part of the No More Red initiative.
We can't accept the loss of life through youth violence as normal in our city and it's important that we all work together to create a better environment for young people.
We can help make a difference to young people in London by giving them more places to play sport, more support, and access to individuals who can inspire them.
Freddie Hudson said that No More Red provides educational opportunities that help individuals make better, informed choices about their future. It also shows that there are alternatives if you focus on your talent and ambition.
