[Albion] BHAFC new kit 2019/20
- Thread starter macbeth
- Start date
It's Barber! What do you expect? So long as folks keep buying the new shirt every year, you can bet your life he'll keep banging them out (at ever increasing prices).
That's football for ya!
Don't be negative .... boom, boom
The shorts are blue
The yellow kit was our third kit last season and so will be dropped
The green kit will be our third kit
I totally agree about the colours of kits before any of us were born. In fact, made that point re: the green kit, this time last year.
But, honestly, I doubt there's a professional team on the entire planet which sticks to club colours for its home and away kits. Would be dull as hell.
Oh, and it don't like clubs wearing alternative colours away when they could be wearing first kit (eg Albion at Man United) you'll love this moan-a-thon. https://twitter.com/KitCrimes

And I probably made the point that we wore green away shirts in the 1976-77 season, when quite a few of us on here were born. We wore them in a 1-0 win at Palace early in the season, and Peter Ward wore one when he scored in the first minute of his debut at Hereford.

Got my hands on the new kit for my son today.
Was expecting to part with £42 for the infant socks, shorts, shirt combo as normal. Unfortunately these aren’t available yet so spent an extra £30 for the exact same items individually. Understand from the club staff that this a ‘Nike thing’
Nice kit though and boy was delighted.

Yes, but no-one told the marketing dept. The were banging on about the kit from 100+ years ago.

Actually Palace do a good job of sticking to their club colours. Last season's home kit was the usual red and blue and their away shirt was white with a blue and red diagonal stripe. It can be done. Well done Palace.

But they also had a yellow kit. I'm trying to think of a game they wore it in. Oh wait, I know ...
They've still had plenty of black, yellow etc over the years.
But even the yellow shirt had their red and blue club colours on a stripe down the front.

Black shirt arrived today, I am absolutely staggered by how poor the quality is compared to the 2018/19 home shirt. It’s essentially the same base template but the quality feels absolutely terrible, I reckon the shirt weighs about 20% less in terms of fabric. The sizing also is far smaller than the 18/19 home shirt, the neck is tiny in comparison.
All in all very weird, it feels like a fake to be honest.

Pictures?
I wanted to buy the infant kit for my son but it still says 'Pre-Order'. I contacted them to find out roughly when they'd be coming as he's pretty much half way through the 12/18 month size and have been sent the following:
'Unfortunately there was a manufacturing problem with all infant kits. Therefore, these have all had to be sent back to Nike! At the current time we're unsure on how long they will take to remake them but it could be quite some time! Sorry I can't be of any more help.'
Not great by Nike then

Annoying. If there is one kit you would expect to be correct it would be the one for small children, given it is most likely small children who make them.
Does the chest feel smaller too? Can you compare with/lay on previous shirt?
(Asking because I'm usually between sizes - fat and really fat)

Yep, I will post pictures when I get back. The chest definitely feels tighter and if you have a big head, you may struggle to get your head through the neck unless you size up.
