On second looking it's grown on me a bit, I like it more than the last one.
I prefer the sleeves and collar but can't get past the logo. Not sure about the white back (probably look better with name and number). I hope they've ordered plenty of away shirts, I know which one I'll be buying.

I like the white back actually, but it looks stupid with the blue shorts, it would've made more sense for the shorts to be white too.
Well basically its DULL isn't it. Hate Nike, always have, always will. And who thought a red tick was a good idea - no football shirt should ever have the colours blue and red on.
But it could have been much, much worse, i.e. Coventry, so we can be grateful for that.

Better than last year. Bunch of moaning gits on here.

Adidas would have made a much better home kit than any that Nike have produced so far. But the away ones have been really good in my opinion.

I like the shirt, I like the stripes on the sleeves, I like the subtle differences from last season's shirt. I loathe the appalling sponsor panel, once again it has wrecked what is otherwise a nice top.
Jesus, there is some pretentious clap trap on here from the fashion police. It's a football shirt for christ's sake. To be worn by the team you support when they play at home. Buy or don't buy but FFS, no manufacturer is ever going to please everyone.
Fans were excited for the new home kit
£45 is a lot of money
People have the right to moan about it. Considering you don't buy replicas you shouldn't judge others who do

Personally speaking, I think out of all the things I find satisfying about football in general is the kits. Red v Blue etc. I think that's what makes football great, graphically, and is actually essential to the game and that's why people care about a decent kit (and also despise Nike as a corporate fashion dictator). I think the first Amex kits of home and away were two of the best Brighton kits ever. Actually envoked a little pride, dare I suggest.
Cutting to the chase, it's a shame we have a shit kit now, for the next two years, again. Stupid money for cheap tosh and people will buy it. Stick on sponsor. Should be ashamed. At least the club will make some money......that's the end game right?
And People think the Norwich kits are bad?
NB I think their 3rd kit is really good.

Nike don't do a 'stripes on the back' option for their customers at our level, we have to base our kit on one of their stock models as we're not in the elite bracket where we can have exactly what we want.
As has been mentioned previously, all the major manufacturers have iron-on sponsor logos, the sad thing is how badly ours is done in comparison to others.

Same as a few others. This has helped me make my mind up and go for the away.

They're not coy at all.
The adverts say 2016/17 Home Kit.
It's for one season.
That means all 3 kits will change for 2017/18.
Still Nike I expect.
Still American Express I expect.
Still a stick-on sponsor panel on the home shirt.

Looking at that I actually prefer last years.
