Brighton to Debut Special Nike 125th Anniversary Kit Against Arsenal
Brighton & Hove Albion are debuting a special limited-edition Nike 125th anniversary kit today in their Premier League encounter against Arsenal at the Amex Stadium. The match was selected to mark 125 years since the club's formation, being the closest home fixture to the anniversary of Albion's first-ever competitive match on September 21, 1901.
Crafted by Nike, the commemorative 26-27 shirt takes direct inspiration from the club's earliest kits from the 1901-02 season. Built around a clean mountain-blue base, the design leans heavily into an understated retro aesthetic. It features a classic polo collar, tonal blue branding for both the Nike Swoosh and the American Express front sponsor, and a matching tonal crest underlined with a '125 YEARS' ribbon. An internal collar graphic completes the look with the words 'We are Brighton 1901-2026'.
Initially launched in May 2026 alongside a limited run of 1,901 collector box sets, this unique kit is being worn as a strictly one-off tribute on the pitch.
