Transcript

00:00Hi there, and welcome to a special bonus episode of the Goal Malfaction podcast.

00:05I'm with Darren Howard, the Chief Sports Writer, covering Brighton and Hove Albion.

00:08And today, Brighton have released their new kit.

00:11Darren, what do we think?

00:13It's not too bad, really.

00:15I was expecting maybe more of a change than last season, but they've made a few enhancements.

00:23It's obviously a Nike kit, once again, with their main kit supplier.

00:28And I think it looks quite good.

00:31It looks quite fresh as well.

00:33So it's a new design, and there's basically more blue on it this time.

00:39So much bolder blue.

00:40There's some white stripes.

00:42And I've also included a bit of the Hyper Turk as well, which was one of their way kits from last season.

00:50The what?

00:50Sorry?

00:51The Hyper Turquoise color, which they added to it.

00:57I thought it was a strange material they used or something.

01:01No, no.

01:02It's probably the same sort of material.

01:06But the actual color that they had their way kit was one of the Hyper Turks.

01:12It proved quite popular.

01:13Oh, right.

01:13So they've added an element of that to it as well.

01:16So there's a few other enhancements.

01:18It's sort of the central blue paneling that matches the blue sleeves edge.

01:22And there's also a white cuff.

01:24The reverse is mainly white and finished off with bold blue stripes on the lower section.

01:29And then there's the Hyper Turk under the arm as well.

01:35And the Nike swoosh as well is in Hyper Turk as well.

01:39Yeah, I quite like that.

01:40That's the bit I really like about it, the little light Nike swoosh in that color.

01:44Yeah.

01:45Yeah.

01:45So, yeah, I think overall, from what I've seen on social media, the feedback from the fans has been pretty good.

01:54And I did a piece online just now because part of the – they get players to obviously do the modeling for it as well.

02:03So there's the women's kit as well.

02:04They had sort of the likes of Franz Kirby doing the women's kit.

02:07And with the men's as well, there was Danny Welbeck, Diego Gomez, Lewis Dunk.

02:12But also, interestingly, Karen Matoma as well.

02:15So I did a piece on that just to say, well, is that a hint that he's going to be staying?

02:20Because obviously he's been linked with Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Liverpool.

02:24Or is it one last attempt to get as many shirt sales as possible before he leaves?

02:31So that would be the cynical way of looking at it.

02:36But hopefully it's a hint that he will stay for another season because he was so key to Fabian Herzella last term.

02:44But, yeah, there's some pictures on the Sussex World website and the Karen Matoma story as well.

02:50Yeah.

02:50There's never a lot you can do with Brighton's home kit, is it?

02:53Because you know it's going to be blue and white stripes.

02:55But, yeah, I just like each year they just make quite a subtle change.

03:00But I do – I think I prefer the blue sleeves to the white sleeves that they had last year.

03:04I do.

03:05Yeah.

03:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:06I think overall it looks pretty good.

03:10And it's – yeah, it seems to have been met with pretty good feedback.

03:15Some people are pretty like, well, it's not much different.

03:18But others really seem to quite like it.

03:21Yeah.

03:21And do we know when the away kit is going to be released?

03:24Because I always get more excited by an away kit than I do a home kit.

03:27Yes, yeah, yeah.

03:29No, they tend to stagger the release.

03:33So they've come out with a home kit initially.

03:36And hopefully the away kit will be released in some time, you know, in the next sort of week or so.

03:42So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see what – they've had quite a mixture of away kits in the past.

03:48So, yeah, we'll keep an eye out to see what it looks like this year.

03:53Have you got a personal preference what you want to see the away kit colour?

03:58Well, they've had some – I tend to – I quite like the green and the black that they had a while back.

04:04That was one of my favourites.

04:08I wasn't too keen on the orange.

04:10They went orange for a while as well.

04:13That was a proper bright one.

04:14That was really – yeah, that was quite loud.

04:18So, yeah, we'll see what they come up with.

04:25But, yeah, we'll look forward to that.

04:29But as far as the home kit goes, I think it looks quite good.

04:32Yeah.

04:33Well, I'm hoping they go for hyper-purple or something.

04:36So, hyper-purple, we'll call it.

04:39Yes.

04:39That could be one.

04:42It could be in the running.

04:43It could be in the running.

04:45Excellent stuff.

04:45Well, thanks for joining us, Darren.

04:46And, yes, let us know what you think in the comments below in this story about what you think of the kit
