If you're Chelsea, Man United or Real Madrid (for example) adidas or Nike will design a top notch, bespoke kit for you.
If you're Plymouth Argyle, Bristol City, Derby, Southend, Swindon or Peterborough, and by the same logic, Brighton & Hove Albion, adidas or Nike will send you their Sunday League catalogue and tell you to take your pick from the collection of bog standard shirts designed to be worn by fat pub players in the hope it will make them look fractionally more professional when they put down their lager and pie for half a second and huff around in the mud against the Pig & Plimsoll 3rd XI.
Don't be such label freaks, I think some of the adidas kits around look crap (Swindon, Peterborough), and the Nike Pub Catalogue ones are even worse. Umbro are just dull, I've hated almost all their England kits for years.
The only top branded ones I think look even half decent- for teams outside the top echelon- are those by Puma or Kappa.

Surely if you're going to buy a Brighton shirt, its because you're a Brighton fan, not because its made by Nike or another child-labour-force make

Does it really matter who makes the kit as long as the quality is ok ? whats wrong with this seasons kit ?
Who gives a toss about the brand name unless your some fashion conscious teenage kid that likes picking on people for wearing uncool makes ?
Having a kit made by nike or addidas ( hate the stripes on them ) won't show anyone we mean business in fact it will mean f**k all
Who exactly looks at the away team at Withdean and thinks ooo I'm so jelous cos they have a kit made by nike they must be so good......no one
grow up :safeway2:

I love this season's home shirt but must admit I do wish it was made by a proper brand.

Exactement.
It doesn't make you look like a big club, it makes you look like a small club who think they can mug their fans into thinking they are somehow big time simply because their shirts have a fashionable brand name on them. And paying more for the privilege.
I just laugh at clubs like Southend wearing Nike shirts because you know all that's happened is that their board of directors have sat around the table with the Nike Sunday League catalogue and stuck a pin in it, chuckling to themselves at the money they're going to be able to prise out of their more gullible supporters. It's not like Nike approached them, fighting off adidas in a massive branding war for the rights to sell shirts at Roots Hall, is it?
This is not just a shit shirt. This is a Chinese-sweatshop-made, overpriced, techno-bullshit, mass-produced, Nike-branded shit shirt.

I mean: come ON! This shirt is just complete PLOP, Nike or otherwise.

After the mediocre designs in the mid to late 2000s, Errea's Albion kits for this season are outstanding!
I'd only be up for Adidas if it was with the classic Adidas logo.

Spell weren't massive and yet they produced my favourite away kit ever!
The club would only make money on shirts it sold in the club shop. Man Utd only make money (directly) from the shirts they sell in Man Utd Megastore or whatever it's called. They make money (indirectly) as Nike pay them a tidy sum for the priveledge of producing their kit, Nike then recoup this by flogging the kit to plastics all over the country in JJB sports etc. This is why it's in Nike's interest to make a decent kit, not just a sunday league catalogue number. I can't see any of these kit manufacturers falling over themselves to offer us a sizeable wedge for the honour of making our kit.
Having said that I would like us to have an adidas kit.
On the whole yes, my one complaint is the badge tends to fall apart on the most recent kits.
