[Albion] *new* Europa League Limited Edition "Pavilion" Kit

[Neville's Breakfast]

We will wear the stripes at home, as we should and the Europa kit will get an airing at AEK. The shirt, as nice as it is, was put on sale an an extra revenue for the club and and acknowledgement that we are in Europe. No way we will wear it at home!

The kind of conviction that occasionally comes back to bite at a later stage…..

Email from my colleague in Guangdong saying my package has been dispatched. Quality service so far, I must say...

I thought of this but the competition isn’t just in 23 - if/when we get through the group stage the real competition gets going in 2024 The teams in the final will remember it as the 2024 Europa final surely?

So essentially what you are saying is myself and my best friend should each purchase a shirt. One with Europa 23 on the back and one with League 24 on the back. Then all we need to do is hold up a little white card with a dash printed on it between us and bingo! we are sorted.
So long as we are standing the right way round of course!

As seen here:

It may have been mentioned elsewhere in this thread or in the other one, but I feel the kit would be improved if the shorts were white instead of hyperturq. I'm sure they modelled every possible colour combination and chose the one they believe looks best. However, if you're going to have a 2-colour kit and decide to horizontally split a top into 2 colours, then the shorts and sock colours ought to alternate, as well, no? Honestly, with his socks stretching above his knees, Fati looks like half of him was dipped in a big vat of paint!

Just had notification that my shirt (with no add-ons) has been despatched and collected by DHL this afternoon for delivery tomorrow!

I'll believe it when I see it!! But if it does arrive, it will go straight into my suitcase for my very early Thursday morning flight to Crete.

And will be wearing it in a bar somewhere on 21st ... 10pm kick off Greek time!

Well, we'll find out in 11 days.

I'm expecting us to be playing in our regular kit but we'll see soon enough.

I can only see us wearing the European kit once , in the away match in Athens , as both Ajax and Marseille play mainly in white at home

Not confident of progressing then?!

I don’t somehow think your wish will come true.

I don’t somehow think your wish will come true.

No way will we wear anything but the stripes next Thursday!

Maybe - but I will be wearing my £70 Europa League commemorative shirt and hype-turq jockstrap.

The green and black kit is going to be put through it's paces l think, away from home anyway.

Would be a bit ironic if the city are turning the streets ‘Blue & White’ and we come out in our first ever European game in White and Green.

No, not at all. I was simply giving my opinion why I wouldn’t have the year on the back - if we went and won the thing I wouldn’t want the wrong year on my souvenir shirt.
What you do is entirely up to you.

I'm sorry, it was an attempt on my part to be humorous! In my eyes the thought of the two shirts with different years and somebody having to carry a dash around with them to hold up between the two seemed funny. Not for the first time on this forum, though, i was mistaken!
I think i will have to give up on the comedic career, at least on here.

Should have made it a 2 year shirt and could have used it in Europe next season as well. Although anyone who went with the Europa league badges will be regretting not waiting for the champions league ones.

Mine arrived today. It's a beauty!

I think it looks horrible. Morally it's an awful cash grab and visually it's a glorified training top. Naff.

Churchill square is pretty central

Bricks and mortar stores are pretty dead to be honest. I bet the Amex store takes more on a match day than the city store in a week /
Month

I find it odd as well locally in Brighton that the bigger chain sports stores don’t stock at the very least the Albion home shirt in amongst the “big 6” and european giants. JD sports in Hampshire as an example used to stock Southampton shirts

As a sad state of affairs locally I picked up Junior from after school football yesterday, the following shirts in the group were worn:

Man City x2
Chelsea x1
Arsenal x4
PSG x3
Spurs x1
Albion (Junior) x1

Notable omission was man United which didn’t feature once, unheard of 10 years ago

All of the above minus the Albion are available off the shelf. It does make a difference.
