[Football] New Kits Thread - Season 22/23

[matski_98]

If you look at all the examples in the link, it's a pretty smart project overall.

Does make me wonder if Brighton will do something similar in the next couple of years. I think our current 'identity' is pretty basic and hasn't really changed dramatically in the 11 years since the Amex opened.

We are still a bit 'Championship' and with a few years of being in the Premier League under our belts a rebrand on these lines might be on the cards. Keep the badge but develop the merchandise and graphic design etc to have a consistent and strong identity.

Not going to buy a BHAFC tracksuit, but some merch with a bit more thought than sticking a club badge, or the words Brighton & Hove Albion on the front in a variety of fonts would be nice...

I'd love to see us doing something like this. I think Brighton as a city (and a club) is a strong enough brand to ensure that non football fans and fans alike would be interested in buying this stuff if marketed right, especially amongst younger people. On the odd occasion I wander round the club shop I wince at some of the templated tat they sell in there.

In many peoples eyes, this will be a big negative.

Why have black at all in the badge we are blue & white kin dinamite

But it isn't strange at all. It is exactly as it should be. We should wear our regular kit for all games, home or away unless there is a colour-clash at an away fixture, in which case we simply wear the change strip. We didn't wear an 'away' kit at Liverpool or Manchester United last season as there was no need to. I don't think we wore a change strip at Arsenal either, did we? Can't recall.

Bang. On.

No one seems to mind that there's a ridiculous panel on the back. All the marketing shots and videos (bar one) do not show the back as it will look pony without a number. Shame as it is not required.

Nice colour, but dull design so I think I'll wait for the home shirt. I echo the point made about a colour clash with teams who have red in the home shirts, so this is basically the new 3rd shirt then?

Exactly!

And with a bit more thought we could have some genuinely cool merch instead.

Even linking up with established brands for some 'BHAFC X [insert brand]' type collaborations.

I'd love a BHAFC X SKINT range to mark 25 years since they sponsored us – think that would be in 2024.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I don't hate it.

It is a bit EasyJet though.

Does that mean that many of our games will be delayed? or even cancelled?

 

[dolphins]

in what way does this colour or mesh of orangy pink represent the club and city of Brighton and Hove?

Don't they call it crimson? Anyway, I think it is a nod to the colour that some will have already gone the last few days/will go this weekend as they hit the beach with no or inadequate sun protection!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Please let Kappa make the kits next .

This.

Another shit Nike kit that’ll only actually get worn in a small number of games

A color of say all white with blue trim (you could vary that quite a bit) wouldve been far better. It seems that like all clubs you just recycle a different colour to generate money through kit sales to the point where you can have home fans in every colour of the rainbow. Surely what all fans wanna see is a stand full of blue and white so home blue away white. Simples!

Interesting that you include the word "rainbow" in your post. If we were to base our next away kit on the colours of the Pride flag, would that more accurately represent the city of Brighton & Hove?

"Why is zee f**king seagull black on white, not white on black?"

I don't know Pascal. I just don't know.

If there's one guy that could TURN it...

I hate all the Nike template stuff but would probably by a fair bit of the Kappa gear like a hoodie and such.

What would be a real eye catcher would be the new adidas/Gucci range for a proper blinged up kit.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

From memory, so a bit risky, I seem to remember the yellow/gold bits on home shirt refers to Hove in some way.

Anything to do with this?

 

[Billy the Fish]

Every away kit appears to have a black seagull on a white blob now.

Unnecessary.

Yeah I think it's a great idea. I personally wouldn't wear anything that is clearly BHA branded outside of a football environment (either playing or watching), I would find it a bit embarrassing to be honest (with respect to those who do, it's just not my style).

But something that was much more subtle, definitely.

 

[Eeyore]

Not really sure whether it's more red or more orange, hmm, I don't think it really works as a Brighton colour and the back panel is already annoying me, apart from that, it seems decent ��

So, apart from the colour and the design you like it ?

 

[horshamite]

Apologies if already mentioned but that's a ringer for the England women's away kit.

Didn't say I didn't like the colour, just don't think it links to the club much, a bit similar to our black one a few seasons back, doesn't mean I don't like it

 

[Swansman]

Looks pretty good. Think it will look very nice when its dark and cold... glowing, kind of.
