Top tip, always look at Brighton players from the back for that "80s Retro Look"

1979/80 and 80/81 could be deemed relatively successful but you forget that we were in stripes when we were promoted! Also, can the subsequent years be classified as successful, notwithstanding a cup final appearance, we struggled and narrowly avoided relegation in one year and got relegated the next.

Not usually superstitious but worth a go. Get the retro look in as well.

actually our most successful periods over the last 40 years have been when we've worn stripes.

We never achieved promotion and the cup final was the only success in the all blue shirts.

That said the British Caledonian and pinstripes of the 80s are my favourite BHA kits ;-)

Promoted wearing "Stripes, stripes, blue and white" - 1957/58, 1971/72, 1976/77, 1978/79, 1986/87, 2000/01, 20001/02, 2003/04, 2010/11.

Having said that, I thought that the mid-1960s kit of royal blue shirts with white sleeves and Brighton and Hove crest looked classy. Shame about some of the football then!

I vote for kit with no stick-on, peel-off sponsor labels, but as it's nike it won't happen.

Yeah but you're using facts to back up your argument, so that don't count right?

So you also didn't like any of the the kits of the 80s and 90s then where none of the kits had sublimation?

In fact only 7 of the last 25 home shirts have had sponsors logos/names dyed into the material.

I don't understand it...we're a team that wears blue and white stripes. Why change our proud heritage. It's almost as bad as red Bluebirds

Indeed. I vote for those 7 kits.

to be fair, our highest position in history was 1981/2 season in all blue. I think it was still only 2 points for a win and although not terrible to watch the old style Sam Allardyce would have been more impressed than say Wenger.

To be fair, our kit this season isn't far off all blue. They only white is the collar, cuffs and the 4 white stripes on the front of the shirt.
