[Albion] Your top 3 worst home shirts.

[Klaas]

All about messing with the stripes for me. Didn't like the all blue shirt much but at least it was solid.

 

[Snowy]

The first one is definitely my least favourite of all time, the new one is close to being the worst but the middle one is actually one of my all time favourites!

I'm not a fan of stripes in general whether for the albion or in fashion. So I think all albion shirts look poor except for our pin striped shirt a couple years back

I remember people liking it too, but I always hated it, despite the amazing season we had in it.

2018-19 shirt was gash

That also had a big H on the front … but least it didn’t have yellow

13-14 and 18-19 were both rank, this might have topped the pair of them though.

The first shirt we had at Gillingham was fittingly horrid. I'm not a fan of this year's either but the worst for me is this from 2004/5...


Back in the days when I actually used to buy the current season's replica shirt, this one lasted a day before I took it back to the club shop. That white gap on the bottom!

IIRC that one was personally designed by DK

The three in the OP are indeed pretty terrible shirts. Imagine walking around with a giant H on your front, like a member of the Steps fan club.

Hang on, I hadn't thought of that, I've changed my mind. It's AMAZING.

I was always more of an Ace of Base man myself. I was in HMV looking for the new releases section, then I saw the sign.

Cant paste pictures, but there was Sandtex one which was predominantly blue, with a sort of squiggle effect, blue shorts, blue socks.. Early 90s.. truly the worst of all time.. but new one coming close for me.

This one?
Didn’t mind it personally, but it wasn’t much liked at the time. You couldn’t actually buy it until late October. Still have mine and it’s in good nick!

I can excuse bad shirts when the club wasn’t in great shape.

In 2022, we’re a PL club with a solid infrastructure, inc highly paid execs.

Im a bit of a traditionalist & geek when it comes to sports uniforms &, coming from a design background myself, hate the way football shirts change yearly now....some designs clearly done with not much thought process (even though Nike will inevitably come out with some BS about our shirt showing how "the yellow trim reflects the golden sunsets Brighton has, and the big blue stripes represent a city with a strong individual identity"). They always do...you see it all the time across their ranges in various pro sports leagues.

Keep it simple....3 or 4 alternate stripes, and dont go too garish is what I say. Last years shirt was good I thought, but not impressed with this years offering - pretty much on the same level as the one below that Leo is wearing IMO.






That said, Im an almost 50yr old male that doesn't wear football shirts - so Im not the target group. Im sure plenty of kids will like it, although my 16yr old has said it looks sh1t.

The plain blue B-Cal thing we wore when we got to Div 1
The pinstripe one from 2 season ago
This one

I LIKE PROPER STRIPES!

Can someone please knock up an image of H in the new shirt please?

I saw the sign. Also in HMV. I was wondering why it was getting bigger and bigger and bigger... and then it hit me...

I know this thread is presenting an opportunity to knock the new shirt, but I quite like it. Admittedly I hadn't noticed the H until you posted these pictures...

What the hell is this? We play in blue and white stripes…..and why have we got black socks?


As comment above and and trying to look like a blue and white Arsenal kit.



Far too white.

Kit designers were useless back then
