Bespoke Kits or Catalogue Kits from 'Cool' manufacturers?

This one? Agree, looks very nice, except that panel on the back for the number, too big.

I like this too, but think the panel on the back is just about the right size as well, leaves plenty of room for the squad number and player's name to be visible too. Reminds me very much of Wigan's from the back view.

Just a shame Errea won't be making it for us. No iron-on transfers then.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Personal opinion of course, but I've never seen a Macron kit I liked. They all look awful to my eyes.

and to me too Edna.

Are you suggesting Villa (a) is not a Masterpiece?

Probably not, no.

My favourite non Albion kit this season- by an absolute mile- is the West Ham home shirt. It's completely classic.

Sadly if we go with adidas, we won't get anything bespoke & beautiful like that, we'll get an off the peg kit, more's the pity.

I guess it's all a personal thing, but I quite like Napolis third kit this year, by Macron.

the problem with adidas is their bespoke stuff is normally marvellous - but you can't get any more hideous than their teamwear stuff - panelling everywhere - absolutely shambolic

The away shirt might take a bit more of a leap of faith though

That's very nice, I also like the Porto shirts Nike have done in recent years.

I know it's very popular, but I think it's the worst West Ham shirt for ages. The claret is too red, the blue is too pale, and if it was a true WHU classic, the only white on it would be the number. Football, eh? Game of opinions ...

Maybe it's because I'm (not) a Londoner...

...that I'm not bothered about the shades of claret & blue involved then. I just love the style of it

I'm not a Spurs fan and I hate rugby, but I love Under Armour kit so that's who I'd prefer.

All of those are bloody love and if Brighton had any of them I would destroy my pants.

I loved Errea, and we had a long and productive relationship with them. I think l'm right in saying that along with Middlesborough and Norwich City, we were the first English club to sign a contract with them, when we moved back to Brighton to play at Withdean.

Their kits were almost without exception, clean, stylish, and easy on the eye , and there is something about wearing a kit that is totally unique to our club.

Just a shame that we couldn't find a way to renew our contract for another two or three years.

Despite the design of some of the kits, I understand that the club's patience ran out with Errea when they failed to deliver a number of kits for their Academy teams the year before last. In addition, there have been issues with the quality of the kits over recent years and the materials used in the stitching.

That said, I still think this years away kit is probably one of the best ones we've had

 

[Notters]

Interesting thread. I don't give a stuff who makes it, I just want it to be durable and comfortable. Looks like the poll is proving that the Nike and Adidas wanters are just a very vocal minority.

 

[Notters]

Nike do a lovely blue and white striped shirt for Hertha Berlin.

The good thing about having a big name brand is the leisure wear is often better.

Even better, let's go for the zigzags!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I would love white socks, white short, and a white shirt with an Ajax-style (but obviously blue rather than red) wide stripe down the middle.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Let's NOT.

White shorts and blue socks would be my choice.
