[Albion] BHAFC new kit 2019/20

[brightn'ove]

FFS that is horrible. We will look like Leeds from the back again. Just put the ****ing stripes on the as well, why is it so hard?

I get your point but it looks nothing at all like Leeds from the back.

What's wrong with white shirts with a couple of bits of blue so that we keep the club colours? We have no association whatsoever with black, green or yellow.

1. Ah, just kids being kids.

2. Ah, just old people being old.

Underrated post.

Eek! Is that a TRANSFER across the home shirt?!?

Single-colour badge on away shirt. Hmmmm.

GK shirt looks MINT.

I would say it's more PISTACHIO.

Don't think you've grasped the commercial nature of modern football kit design.

(Also,there's plenty of history of yellow, and even a bit of green if you go way, way back).

Big fan of the shirt designs, the American Express logo always annoys me in the home kit though, it doesn’t look like it fits in with the white box around it. You would think a multi billion pound company could make a better logo.

Or maybe a multi billion dollar kit company could make a better kit

Would look great without the white block on the front. That is very much American Express' fault.

I love the darker blue of the home kit stripes.

 

[patchamalbion]

huge fan of the away top and will be buying

Fair point, but I like the kit, I assume the font and the white box around it would be chosen by American Express, not sure though.

Amex don’t make the kit, but they do have rules about their branding as do most other corporate organisations. CIs can be very rigid, I deal with them for a living, there simply isn’t an option to meddle with a brand once an organisation has chosen how it is to look. With a logo formed of a wordmark you will always have a clear space around it, it is part of the logo, not just a white box. Nike fail, not Amex, or perhaps BHA fail for choosing the lucre that nike pay rather than choosing a kit manufacturer who can provide for teams outside the global sides. Then again, they modified their striped template last year to include a white band for the logo, are we sure this one is a transfer?

It’s definitely not a transfer. The letters are though, just like the past 2 shirts

Hmmm... a white back again, for the that "three kits stitched together" look.

I love the front of the shirt but really dislike (read that as hate) the back - either have it all white or all blue. Even all stripes would be better!

 

[perseus]

At least the Manager won't have a white hankerchief.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Unimaginative but like the blue.
Away kit is OK but a bit goth and standard.
Wish they had done something with the home neck/collar as it just looks unfinished to me.
Agree with those who don’t like the back - pity they don’t do an alternative striped back for the fans.

Peter Ward scored his first Albion goal at Hereford in a green shirt with black collars and cuffs and a yellow number.

Wasn't Green one of the first kit used by the club in the early 1900s?

That away kit is bloody lush. Count me in. New running top sorted.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You say that, but if that same kit were released today, all of the following 'flaws' would have been raised on this thread:

1. Why can't we have stripes on the back?
2. Why isn't the badge centred on a stripe?
3. Why isn't the Nike logo centred on a stripe?
4. Why is the Nick logo black?
5. Why no stripes on the sleeves?
6. Why can't we have a collar?
7. Iron-on sponsor, FFS!

Indeed. If only we could have something really classy like this:
