[Albion] Albion kit 2024/25 - official thread

[Kenn]

The sleeve sponsor is utterly hideous.

I think it's quite subtle and acceptable, miles better than the old yellow Snickers UK patch last year

 

[Iggle Piggle]

It's OK, much better sleeve sponsor helps.




It's the same isn't it?

Last time I - I mean my mate - looked it was the Amex logo in some yellow text like a nuclear power station.

 

[Gazwag]

I'm not sure about the sponsors logo

"Experience Kis Sim Mee" sounds like something Jimmy Saville would say behind the scenes

I suspect a lot of people who don't like this, don't like blue & white stripes generally.

Our shirts probably would look better if they were plain blue, but hey - it's tradition, not a fashion contest.

 

[Official Old Man]

Just out of interest, how many different designs can be made from a blue and white stripe?
1/ Blue/white stripe 50/50
2/ Thinner solid Blue
3/ Thinner White
4/ Thinner Blue with thin white within blue
5/ Thicker Blue with thin white within blue
6/ Thinner Blue with thick white within blue
7/ Thicker Blue with thick white within blue
8 to 14/ As above with a star over the emblem. Think about it
15 to 21/ As above with a little yellow somewhere.

I assumed it was a tribute to Nelson's last words as he died at Trafalgar.

Definitely the nicest Nike effort for a few years (the three home kits we wore during various stages of lockdown where the best up until now for me). I know there's a lot of white but on the pitch with a number on the back and some blue shorts I'm sure it'll even out.

As ever, I wish the stripes went fully over the shoulders, but I suppose getting two striped panels to align neatly would add a few precious seconds to manufacturing times, so really we should stop being so selfish and be more considerate towards those hardworking Nike shareholders.

I know at this stage it's boring to point out that £65 for a piece of plastic that costs pennies to make is completely scandalous but the fact still remains. Mind you, this isn't just a football problem, as anyone who's ever had sigh of the eye-watering mark-up that high street brands charge will tell you.

The poll needs 2 more options: "Like it." and "Meh."

.

 

[Han Solo]

I like it more than I don't like it.

Its a bit more adventurous than some recent ones, without it ending up hideous like the 20/21 shirt.

Bit too light/white for my personal taste though.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Undecided other than to say first impression was 'odd'.

 

[Washboard Didgets]

looks like the online shop is struggling...
errors and now behind a queue to manage demand.

I sat in queue for 23 minutes being told estimated time 1/2 minutes, got into the site, clicked the kit page, then it said my queue number had already been used and chucked me out and to the back of the queue with 26 minute estimate wait time.

So the IT is working brilliantly!

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

50 minutes before I can see it WTF?

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

The stripes look like Nike's printer head needs realigning.

 

[Brovion]

I don't wear replica shirts, but I think that's ok. Just a personal preference but I always prefer BHA shirts where white is the dominant colour.

(I haven't seen the back yet so I reserve the right to say 'Naa, it's hideous')

 

[macbeth]

not a high bar but that’s the nicest kit we’ve had for a number of years imo

 

[Mr deez]

It's fine. The sponsor box looks dodgy but I suppose that's inevitable. I'd like a plain blue shirt one year.

Are you new to the Interwebz?!

Love the kit, hate the price.

With white sleeves, yes?

 

[Napper]

will look ok with blue socks and blue shorts but not seen what colour they will be ?
