[Football] The 2025/26 Kit thread

[slartibartfast]

I was going to throw in a suggestion that as next season is our 100th League campaign we should have a nod to the kit we wore for our first season in Div 3 1920-21 but after looking it up I don't think it's a good idea

I think this is bogus. I have all sorts of books about the Albion, and none of them (i.e. Carder and Harris "Seagulls! The story of Brighton and Hove Albion FC") refer to these colours, none of the (admittedly sepia) pictures have players wearing anything other than blue and white stripes , white shorts in this period, and a quick check on Historical Kits backs me up : https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Brighton_and_Hove_Albion/Brighton_and_Hove_Albion.htm. In short, this shirt is fictional.

This thread is going be approx 20% actual new kits again, isn't it?

Some splendid marketing bollocks from our pals at Nike:

The shirt features subtle architectural motifs inspired by London’s iconic landmarks and creative culture, including Chelsea Town Hall, highlighting the club’s deep connection to the capital.

The collar features a modern V-cut, complemented by white and red side panels. The club crest sits on the chest, while the initials "CFC" are printed beneath the collar on the upper back. Marking the club’s 120th anniversary, the release also celebrates Chelsea’s role in the capital’s cultural and sporting identity, with nods to high-profile landmarks and creative energy.

Yup. Probably my fault for sharing the 60s BHA kit

Big snub of the derelict Fulham Town Hall, despite it being much closer to Stamford Bridge than Chelsea Town Hall

Phew!! Happy to be proved wrong.
