I vote change kit back to all blue like best period in 80s.

[Superphil]

Promoted wearing "Stripes, stripes, blue and white" - 1957/58, 1971/72, 1976/77, 1978/79, 1986/87, 2000/01, 20001/02, 2003/04, 2010/11.

Having said that, I thought that the mid-1960s kit of royal blue shirts with white sleeves and Brighton and Hove crest looked classy. Shame about some of the football then!

Maybe the Nike "Derby" template?

To be fair, our kit this season isn't far off all blue. They only white is the collar, cuffs and the 4 white stripes on the front of the shirt.

White cuffs and collars....Not my personal preference

Not usually superstitious but worth a go. Get the retro look in as well.

I vote you rugger off.

NO!

I don't understand it...we're a team that wears blue and white stripes. Why change our proud heritage. It's almost as bad as red Bluebirds

This.

 

[dennis]

NO, I would like the Kit to have either white shorts or white socks as i think the kit is too blue as it is.

Top tip, always look at Brighton players from the back for that "80s Retro Look"

Is this a reference to Mackail-Smith's MULLET?

 

[Horses Arse]

So you also didn't like any of the the kits of the 80s and 90s then where none of the kits had sublimation?

In fact only 7 of the last 25 home shirts have had sponsors logos/names dyed into the material.

I had to look up sublimation and still don't know what it is. Didn't seem to mention rubbish quality transfers though - trust that's what you were referring to?

I started watching the Albion with the all-blue kit with white sleeves of the late '60's and the Kit Napier/Brian Powney era, so I have a slightly different perception.

But the Cardiff situation is VERY different. It is the blue that is important for me. My brother told me years ago that one should never support a team wearing red, and I have stuck by it ever since.

What a coincidence you lived in Brighton then!

 

[Willy Dangle]

Don't think I would carry off those shorts today.

Worthing, actually. But it could well have been never support a team in red because of that, rather than the other way round. He is also a lifelong Chelsea supporter, having been born there in 1947, so that might have something to do with it as well.

And while he was born in Chelsea, that is not an indicator of poshness. My parents were running a shop in Brixton at the time (or Camberwell, or Sydenham -= not sure which because it was before I was born!)

So I must be a bad person for agreeing with this. I've never really liked the stripes. I prefer the blue with white arms of the Alex Dawson era but also the blue with white pin stripes from the cup final was superb.

Admittedly the Bukta kit from the 70's was good but we can never seem to get the stripes right these days. The full blue back of this year is just horrendous.

All blue kit gets the nod from me.

In terms of football, Worthing IS Brighton and furthermore it's a coincidence your brother was born in Chelsea. Poshness is irreverent.

 

[BensGrandad]

No,no, no, Brighton are synonomous with Blue & White stripes, tradition must prevail ask Cardiff fans.

Loved this kit when I was a kid....

This, although I've never seen the kit being worn live it always looks nice in photos etc. I suspect it would be the only retro kit so far I would buy.
