[Albion] New shirt: yay or nay?

[Stat Brother]

I guess this is another way to look at the current poll results:-

Total nos of posters who have said they'd never buy, or wear, a replica shirt 338 - 65.89%
Total nos of posters who wear replica shirt but are specifically told never to do so again 175 - 34.11%


Seems fairly conclusive.

Moaning minnies. Its a nice, simple, understated kit. I like it a lot.

Oh and another thing - look around the rest of the PL and EFL, you realise we are very VERY lucky to have American Express as our sponsors, when you see the number of teams who have got a load of unintelligable garish mandarin BOBBINS splurged all over the middle of their shirts who nobody has ever heard of ("ManBetX @#*%$&XX" I'm looking at you as a prime example). Those betting companies, each and every one of them, look utter SHITHOUSE on whatever shirt they are splattered all over.

Thank christ this Amex one isn't an iron-on. You'd have people on here topping themselves.

Have you posted that on the correct website?

If it were that sort of site rather than this I would have swapped love to need...,

 

[Saunders]

We were relegated with stripes on our shirts AND shorts in 91-92, even double stripeage couldn't save us

One set of stripes too far me lad. That was an terrible kit too.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I'm a definite nay........but why is it starting to look fairly ok now?

 

[Norman Potting]

Yes from me. Reminiscent of the kit I saw when I first visited the Goldstone in 1983.

Pinstripes have no place on a football shirt, although I think a blue pinstripe on a white background looks better on a football shirt, like this little West Brom number from 2014/15



It was certainly an upgrade on their 1992-94 kit. It looks like something you'd come home wearing having bought it in a Guatamalan market while travelling around Central America, which once home you consign to the wardrobe never for it to see the light of day. I should know, I did something similar when I travelled through Chiapas in Mexico.

So I suppose we got off quite lightly really when you see what we could have been lumbered with...

Don't they have that very design this season?

 

[Eggman]

They do

 

[marlowe]

They do

So they do. It's a bit of a mess. I prefer a bit of symmetry.

Mark Chapman was full of praise for the new shirt on 5Live's Monday Night Club this evening.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Agree We have always had proper stripes. Why change

Not true, we haven't ' always ' had proper stripes.

 

[ac gull]

Well I was will take a punt and say we will sell more of this shirt than any other PL one yet ( as in about 1% of what Leeds will sell obviously )

 

[spence]

These JCL'S

They know nothing about our past.

To late. I've already staked that claim the other day. It will break sales records. Confident of that.

 

[Wozza]

FWIW, it's got a very strong (mainly positive) reaction among neutrals on Twitter.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

If I had been asked by the club if I wanted blue and white stripes or blue with a barely noticeable pinstripe I would have said we are Brighton and we are blue and white,I don't want an all blue shirt.but I have to say I actually don't mind this new shirt.its nice to have a break from the stripes ,I like the retro look too,also it will create a nice mixture in the crowd of this kit and the old stripes.so it's a yay from me but I want to go back to blue and white stripes for our amex ten year anniversary please.

Obviously the NHS heart logo this season was a nice and appropriate thing to do, I found it really interesting though to see our new home kit less "cluttered" and how it will look next season.

Looks so fresh, I have gone from not being a fan for the first few hours, to now absolutely loving it.

 

[OzMike]

Maybe it's an omen and we will get to the FA cup final again.
Looks ok, not overly excited by it.

And get relegated...
