The Albion's "third" colour.

[tomysupercup]

What is the Albion's third colour?

Which colour do people consider to be our clubs "third" colour? Not the colour that our third kit should be, but the 3rd colour of the club in general?

Obviously blue and white are 1st and 2nd but which colour do people generally consider to be the Albion's third?

During the late 70's and early 80's Yellow featured heavily (with a number of classic away shirts).

Before that in the 1940's (I think) we had a (home?) shirt with blue, white and red stripes and more recently we've had the pink (NOBO) shirt, the red and black (Milan) Skint shirt and the red(ish) Roma kit. Our badge was also changed in the late 80's (I think) with red being introduced as a third colour?

So what do you think and why?

Yellow or Red?

I've always thought it should be:

Home - Blue and White

Away - Yellow

3rd Kit - Red

Why?

Probably because I started supporting The Albion in the 80's and those were the colours back then. Nice and simple.

As for a third colour together with the blue and white? I'd have a gold trim.

Yellow is the REAL tradition, I feel. Think of JIMMY CASE, in the yellow at Highbury, etc...

For now though, how about GOLD?

 

[Wozza]

Should be orange.

Should be orange.

Please, no. Nothing too redolent of the clog-wearing saliva-hocking polder-dwellers, ta.

HALF-German, thank you.

And of course I don't dislike them all, that would of course be complete crap. But their footballers...eek. Skillful and arrogant and deranged in equal measure. Just my HO.

i voted yellow cos i thought it was 3rd kit time again but i would say red as a 3rd colour, although i do remember those flat caps in the early eighties with blue white and yellow panels, but no im sticking with red.

 

[Gully]

I look on white as being our third colour, with yellow definitely in second...even though it isn't always!

 

[tomysupercup]

We've had the Inter Milan kit, we've had the AC Milan Kit......Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the "Sampdoria" away kit!

Rubbish paint job but you get the idea?

Or too much like pala*e (circa early 80's & 09)?

 

[defrocked priest]

Why red? That durn't make any sense.

 

[Father Jack]

Pink and Lilac

 

[Gonzo]

Albion's GREATEST away kit (in my lifetime, anyway)

I think I'd be sexually AROUSED if we decided to bring out an updated version for next season

 

[Mackenzie]

Home...stripes

Away...White

3rd kit...yellow

Home: Blue/White Stripes.
Away: Red.
3rd: Yellow.
I've always thought that red was the third colour when looking at the badge. I wasn't around during the "yellow" days so you probably will beg to differ.

 

[Lush]

Anything but red. Red is the OPPOSITE to blue in football terms, IMHO.

Brighton Hove Albion - Historical Football Kits

Looking at these kits in the most recent years, red has appeared on most of them. But if you look even further back, BLACK features, even sometimes black socks.

I went with Yellow although I'm partial to the Red.
