[Albion] Simple straw poll: New Home Shirt - YAY/NAY ?

[Gill's White Jumper]

Nice to see blue shorts and socks today.

Traditionally Albion wore white shorts; they adopted the kit and 'Albion' because they were told at the time "I want you to play like West Bromwich Albion", who were the top team at the time (So Revie changing Leeds kit from blue and yellow so they could 'play like Real Madrid' was well behind the times). I remember when the first nylon shorts arrived, you could see through the white ones. Personally, as long as the stripes stay you can have any colour shorts.

Still not a fan. excepting that it doesn't have the Tesco bag look.

That's because we're no longer sponsored by Nobo with their red logo.
I actually really like this season's kit.
I remember one season when we played in stripey shorts that made the whole thing look like pyjamas. I think that was when Clive Walker used to play for us.

This season's shirt is legendary and should be retained for the European season. It isn't, and there is definitely a new one coming which really annoys me. Shirts should go back to being at LEAST 2 seasons.

Thankfully I'll remember this season for the team and not the shirt. Not for me, Clive.

Every year I longingly hope for a home shirt I might buy. At least the disappointment is consistent. I like the 2011/12 one.

I hated it, but it's been such a good season that I love it now. Our funny brains.

I don't like it, but the team performances have detracted from it.

We don't have to console ourselves 'Well at least we won the best Albion home shirt in the last ten years award'

Worse than the VAR cock-ups?

Imagine a world with no VAR cock ups and a nice home kit.

Imagine a world with no VAR cock ups and a nice home kit.

It'll never happen!

Brighton and Hove Albion.


No, I don't like the big 'H'. Just stick to stripes - it's not rocket science!

 

[Simster]

To be honest I'm fairly easily pleased.

That means I don't mind as long as the stripes are blue and white and we don't have to put up with that shithouse Neal Maupay pin-stripe kit. God that was shit.

Day 4,051 of requesting a tie-dye third kit.

This is actually disrespectful

 

[Easy 10]

This is actually disrespectful

No its not.

Its brilliant.

Worse than the VAR cock-ups?

I have it on good authority that the VAR 'cock ups' were in direct response to the shitness of our kit. There was no way that the Premier League were going to let that abomination anywhere near the champions league places...

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Just wait for Sheffield Wednesday to release theirs and copy it. They almost never get it wrong, unlike us.

 

[kuzushi]

No its not.

Its brilliant.

What's brilliant about it?
Of course It is disrespectful to take something that is sacred to many people and mock it or treat it as profane.
I'm not personally offended by it, but there's something sad about doing that. For the person who does it and for those who applaud it.
The statue of Christ the redeemer represents something very deep. It might not mean much to you, but that doesn't mean you have to trivialise it. But maybe that's the way people are. It's a reflection of society. How shallow and inane our society has become.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I'm actually thinking of buying one this season, when the version with the Europa League badges are released. Unless we're having a special one for Europe?

 

[jcdenton08]

I’m getting ready to booooooo.

Seriously though I hope it’s better this season, this year’s shirt was dreadful.

No joke I've just pulled out of Clacket Lane Service station and a car with regno B4 BEROUT has just dropped this piece of jpeg out of the window.
Make of that what you will....
