[Albion] Little Kid Kits

[Herr Tubthumper]

Is the correct answer. Metal Micky junior is only 8 and is not currently showing major interest in football let alone sharing my passion for the Albion. Very worrying. I've suggested that should win the lottery he may have to get shipped off to boarding school. Am I being too harsh?

Harsh? I guess I need to know his views on Iron Maiden before I can pass comment.

So my 3 (nearly 4) year old girl has started to show an interest in playing football, which is great. However, she’s this morning asked for a kit ‘like her friend’. We live in West London, and her friend’s kit is Chelsea

When I asked if she wanted a Brighton kit like the team she (sometimes) watches with Daddy she shook her head and said she wanted one like her friend.

Obviously I can’t buy her a Chelsea kit. So what do I do?

That's got to be child abuse.

Who in their right mind actually buys a Chelsea kit for their kid?

Perpetuating a culture of child abuse, exploitation and manipulation. Shirley?

I've never bought a Brighton kit for our two boys (6&8)

I have however always bought cheap blue and white striped kits to kind of drip feed the Albion.

Currently this..

You could find something which isnt Chelsea but is close enough (and maybe find a few stripes in it )

I rather like that kit. No fuss, no corporate ads, no silly yellow stripe, no big H.

All it needs is the badge.

Get her the Brighton away kit she’ll love it

When she's 8. As the OP said above, it's not available in Infant size.

Fair point.



Your location says Battersea, I thought that area was full of Chelsea fans.

I’ve moved - NW London now. Mostly Gooners round here but fair smattering of Chelsea. But QPR definitely closest

 

[bluenitsuj]

Tell her it's a Brighton kit or nothing

Yeah that was the first thing I looked at. Odd that it’s not available smaller than 8, no?

I think I’ve just persuaded her towards the home kit. My next challenge is that once it gets cold and wet I’m fairly sure she’ll go off football, as like many city kids she seems to have a pathological fear of mud.

I also need to decide what name to put on the back. May have to go with her own name as she’s the only one I’m fairly sure isn’t going to be sold to Chelsea.

When my now 2 year old son was born, his uncle (who lives in Chelsea) bought him a Chelsea kit. I made him take it back and had a custom Bobby Zamora onesy made for uncle's next visit.

Odd untily you consider that Nike have only just started doing any infant kits for Albion. (It's not even an exact match)

Half n half.

Stranger still, it has a sponsor on it, I have bought many over the years and it It's the first one to have it.

 

[Guinness Boy]

So what do I do?

Wait until she's just too old for a free kit, apply for a free kit and moan on here when you get turned down.

Do people actually do that? We have a voucher we never got round to using if they want it.

Someone on here did. Infamously.

 

[southstandandy]

Buy her an adult sized shirt so she can grow into it. Don't want to be bying a new one every year.

Ah you know me well!

If she insists, all things considered, putting her up for adoption is probably the most humane option.

Or, explain to her that Chelsea was ( allegedly) built on the ill-gotten gains of a money laundering Russian oligarch - I’m sure she’ll see sense. If not, leave home.
