New Kit?

[Blue Valkyrie]

Would clash with most other kits in some way.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Better than the TSB version which I think was a darker pink.

Much better. As in your face as it is possible to be.

Most stupid idea since the last most stupid idea...
Its a big fat NO NO NO NON NO from me

 

[BN9 BHA]

With the amount of homophobic abuse our club and its fans receive at games and on social media, I'd love to see the Albion play some away games next season in a kit that looks something like this...

Just to show the little-minded people who dish out this kind of abuse, that Yes, Brighton is the LGBT capital of the UK, and What?! We have no shame, we're proud of our city! I think it would do a great load of good for football in general, and to show our club is inclusive of people of all sexual orientations, whether that's fans or players.

What do others think?

Sorry mate , but this is nothing to do with football or the history of our football club.
I'm against the homophobic chants, but I think we are hearing less of these chants this season.

 

[An Old Seagull]

Next seasons away kit will be pink.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Knob

What a load of bollocks

They are both covered by the green shorts.

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

It reminds me of a former Houston Astros baseball uniform that was actually worn.

"Houston, we have a problem."

 

[topbanana36]

I think the OP should grow some skin.

 

[ExmouthExile]

The best reaction is no reaction.

 

[TSB]

Better than the TSB version which I think was a darker pink.

I don't recall making a kit.

 

[Eeyore]

Keep the shorts and socks black and pimp the shirt with the rainbow design. Why not? We're Brighton and we're right on.

Plus we managed to get over the shame of this. I kind of like being notorious.

Edit: Tut! Beaten by Corgi...

The one that Tommy Docherty suggested meant you could tell where we were from.

 

[NooBHA]

We are Brighton and we play in Blue and White stripes. No need to change, especially to a strip like a tube of fruit pastilles!

Correct. It's important that a club maintains traditions in terms of its club colours - I did see a big massive rainbow Spurs flag when watching Spurs v Newcastle today

 

[Eeyore]

The irony is that the gay football team from Brighton, who compete in international tournaments, play in blue..

Rayo Vallecano have already done something similar this season:

Just NO

Brighton is the LGBT capital of the UK

Yes it is. Despite its demise to a degree we still get reminded of it nearly every week. I don't find it offensive anymore but my God am I finding it boring. Why on earth would we want to bring it all on ourselves again?

We may be "full of gays" as a city but I reckon there are more gay fans of other clubs than ours. The gay men I know in my life are all from other towns and cities and have moved here. I'm yet to meet a gay man in Brighton who is Brighton born and bred. So that makes the rest of the country gay and us straight? Right?

Very good points made here.

Stade Francais shirt anyone ?

That's a nice shirt, although our badge may not go with it.
