[Albion] Albion kit 2024/25 - official thread

[Bob!]

I can't find any - what search term is used?

I searched and found it after refreshing

Just don’t get why adults (?) buy knock off. You know it’s fake, it won’t last long or wear well, and it feeds financial crime. Also it would be mighty embarrassing wearing a fake with people knowing it’s fake (or you wondering if people know). Lastly it’s of no benefit to the club!!

I got a Leverkusen kit from a knock off site. I wouldn't have bought one otherwise so no loss to the club.

Also given the manufacturer is Castore the knock off is probably better quality than the real one.

I also got the England shirt and that is also very similar quality to the real one, people have asked why I would spend £120 on a shirt because they couldn't tell it wasn't the real one.

Just a wild guess here but maybe 14,75 € with free shipping and a full range of available sizes might have something to do with it

I've pretty much given up on trying to find a US based retailer with authentic Brighton kit. I really don't understand why they don't exists. Is it the club? Is it Nike? Is it the retailers themselves? They seem to have every other premier league shirt, but not Brighton.

So, I might well just go with Chinese knock-off since they've made it too expensive and too complicated otherwise.

It is worth keeping an eye on the club site as occasionally they do free international delivery promotions - maybe one will come after the Japan trip to try and bring in our new fan base

If I owned one

I wouldn’t wear it very often, a theme day at work or taking the dog out the morning after we beat Palace for example.

I wouldn’t give a shit if anyone else knew/thought it was fake.

I don’t kid myself that the club make any serious money on replica kits compared to television money etc. (Nike make the money) They can wipe their arse on a million quid, I need that fifty quid saving more than they do (not to mention I personally spend plenty at the club)

The “financial crime” is a point, however for cynical people like me I have zero trust in big, so called legitimate businesses, so I’d live with that.

But as Gerald Ratner said “it’s because they are crap”

Let’s say they’re 75% cheaper. Are they 75% crappier than the full price version?

I saw it for the first time in the shop and I've changed my mind, it looks a lot better in real life. Dare I say it I quite like it.

That’s for you to judge, however they are 100% fake. Personally I’d rather not have something than have a fake.

I LOVE it. I think I might go FKW

Are we getting a new away kit ? Or wearing green and black at Everton ?

Getting a new away kit at some point soon, black and green is third kit

Will it be put on sale after we wear it in the Friendly tomorrow?

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

I love it, might get the pink training top also. I think they may get record sales this year.

Are we wearing the away kit tomorrow then ?

 

[dannyboy]

Anyone picked up a size medium yet?

Think you might be out of luck with the pink training top, looks to be already sold out

Oh no, preseason and sold out would be bad planning.

It’s a bit of cloth not a John Constable

The pink one is specifically the pre-season training kit, they'll come out with another colour once the season starts, easy way to get multiple sales I guess
