Nike Again Creates Player-Exclusive Kit for Brighton 26-27 Season
- Brighton's 26-27 Kit Partnership: Nike continues its partnership with Brighton & Hove Albion for the 26-27 season, releasing a royal blue home, white away, and deep teal third kit inspired by the 1983 FA Cup final.
- Player-Exclusive Kit Policy: Nike has once again created player-exclusive kits for Brighton, ensuring a clear distinction between the high-performance versions worn by players in matches and the standard kits available to supporters at retail.
- High-Performance Tech Reserved for Players: Brighton players will wear Nike's top-tier Aero-Fit shirts, while fans can only purchase standard Dri-FIT versions, and the official store incorrectly lists the home kit as featuring Dri-FIT ADV technology.
Brighton & Hove Albion's partnership with Nike continues for the 26-27 season, led by a royal blue home jersey inspired by the 1983 FA Cup final, an inverted white away shirt, and a deep teal third kit. Nike and the seaside club have once again maintained a clear split between what the players wear during Premier League matches and what is made available to supporters at retail.
Brighton presented their 206-2027 kits with the shop versions, not those worn in matches.
High-Performance Technology Reserved Solely for Players
For the 26-27 campaign, Brighton players will take the pitch wearing Nike's top-tier Aero-Fit player-issue shirts. In contrast, supporters are only able to purchase the standard Dri-FIT fan version.
Strangely enough, Brighton's store says that the 26-27 home kit features Nike Dri-FIT ADV tech, but it does not - an error.
Last season, Brighton also already got specific player-issue kits.
Brighton collectors cannot purchase official match-like version shirts via the official store, but have to rely on expensive match-prepared or match-issue kits.
