Can you link it in? I've been trying to find it for weeks and unable.



Insider confirms on 'Ask the Club' on here that kits will be for one year only.

Must have done some maths, £49 a pop, fewer will buy, but the hardcore will continue to, so make a new shirt every year and to make up the shortfall.

I wanted to watch the video I can't find it anywhere. No reason I just hadn't seen it.

Just had a look and Insider said kit not kits, so is that just a typo on his part or does he actually mean alternate years for a home and away kit?

So the design of the kit will be unique but we're not going to have any input into the manufacturing of the shirt in the way that Man U get to, fiddling with collars and stuff, doesn't sound like too bad a deal.

Shame it's Nike.

I like the part about supplying the kids and team with all Nike boots, footwear and equipment to make sure every one is on an even playing field (no pun)

After hearing Paul Barber sell us this idea (even though im glad we got nike) I hope we dont end up disappointed and see its just a normal Nike shirt, like the likes of Charlton and other lower league teams have. The best shirt weve had was last years we shouldnt of changed it for this years league 2 looking one.

I like Arsenals yellow away shirt though, hopefully we might get something like that for ours.

I want the training jacket that Celtic and man city use. Obviously with BRIGHTON on the back.

When can we expect the new shirts to hit the club shop?

Given the tributes to Errea on Monday do we expect the lads to be wearing the new Nike strip against Yeovil on Friday? Good commercial opportunity with it being on TV too.

Not sure how Errea would feel about that given they probably have paid for the whole season!

Depends if Nike / the club decide it is worth their while and offer some compensation to Errea.

I don't think it would be the first time a team has done something like that, can't think of a specific off the top of my head. I know plenty have ended a season with the new kit for the next season, us included, I shall see if I can find out if any involved new manufacturer/sponsor.
