Will we ditch the stripes again

[mune ni kamome]

I remember when we went to "all white" it was to make us look bigger like Leeds, then, all blue to make us look more professional. Somehow the stripes were seen as tinpot. What's the consensus assuming of course we do the business?

I was a bit miffed when we went from blue shirts & white sleeves in favour of the stripes :-D
That said, hopefully we stick with the stripes.

I like a nice pin stripe number for a change....

We are Brighton and synonymous with having blue and white stripes long may it remain. With an all red change strip which is proven to be the most successful colour for a football team.

Someone on here came up with these two and I thought they were Mustard.

What an awful looking kit, just my opinion

 

[BensGrandad]

I think our home shirts are ok except for the horrible white back I like the look of those on the other thread is it Hereta Berlins shirts.

Always stripes.

When I first started watching Brighton in 1966 we played in an 'Arsenal' style kit of solid blue shirts and white sleeves. To me that has always been the proper Brighton kit, and I'd love us to return to it. I also liked the white kit we had sometime in the late 60s / early 70s. And yes I know the club started off in stripes and most people prefer them, it's just a personal thing.

However I can't be alone in hating the modern shirts with the striped fronts but sold backs; to me they're neither fish nor fowl. Let's have one or the other.

Keep the stripes

The new nike 2017/18 team wear kits are slowly coming out, guess we'll get what they have.

In a darker blue and white, obviously.

 

[BensGrandad]

I like the blue and white one but not the rest. As I have said I would like an all red away kit.

Are we definitely sticking with Nike? Personally i would like to ditch them for as long as they continue to only make kits with stick on sponsors. If the other brands are willing to actually understand what the word ´bespoke´ means then go with them I say. Adidas blue and white stripes would be my preference.

Did we not sign a 5 or 10 year deal with Nike when we left Errea? How long ago was that?

Pretty sure it would still be a 'stick on' sponsor with adidas, as it is with all the big brands, however, they might at least have a stripe pattern with a 'sponsor box' set into it.

I've only seen pictures of the blue with white sleeves rather than see the team in it but I'd quite lik eus to adopt it again

I´d like any company that will make what we want/need. Who would be your preference Phil?

I'm no fan of the big 3 or 4 largely due to their boring and template based approach. It's odd really though, as teams in the Australian A League can get Nike kits made with a sponsor panel on the front

But for some reason they won't do it in Europe.

I think there is merit in using the smaller brands, Errea had a couple of hiccups but generally I thought they were excellent. Other brands like Kappa, Macron and Jako can all make 100% bespoke. The be all and end all for the club at the moment is the (financial) support Nike provide regarding the overall package including equipment, gear, boots etc.

I watched Horsham FC play this weekend, they've commissioned their own brand shirts for home kit, made in the U.K. Too, and for their away kit they use a Nike teamwear shirt. I think the Ryman league provides some support for the Macron teamwear and training gear the players wear off the pitch.
