2020/21 Kit - Now Announced

[hobbsy]

When’s this 3rd shirt being announced then, I’m buying only 1 shirt this season and I want to see if it’s a nice one

My guess is sometime before Christmas and then not get any stock in time and everyone misses out on their Christmas presents.

Kit to be shown, well “a glimpse” so the Club says, in the Warm Up show via YouTube or Facebook from 6pm Friday (tomorrow).

First glimpse of our 2020/21 Third Kit on The Warm Up tomorrow

So it's white then, according to that screenie?

It is actually just going to be Fulham’s kit from last year rebadged.

Yes, all Premier League teams have to have 3 shirts so we had to get it designed and produced by Umbro just in case.

Not sure about this.... surely the design of the third shirt reflects the colours of the other teams in the league you are/will be in (i.e. the Championship), not the league you might be in...

Shirt designs have to be in/ordered and already on the production line way before any promotion relegation issues are decided

I'm sure that's correct for home and away. I suspect third can go in a bit later once the club knows if there will be a requirement (and hence the later release date).

Yes, I believe we've only got a 3rd kit as PL regulations require it. Therefore we had to order it before the end of last season!

 

[LboroBee]

I think there’s a few kits that have never seen the light of day over the years.
The difference between Adidas/puma/whoever producing say 40 shirts for 1 team “just in case” compared to rolling off a few thousand of differing size shirts for the retail market.

Nope. You have to have everything in place before the end of the season. To show the EPL that you’re ready if the Club is successful in gaining promotion. All Championship Clubs do this. (Well, the top 12 at least due to play off possibilities). The same reason why GP was looked at for hosting EPL matches in 2014/15. Plans are made well in advance.

The same applies for kits, 1, 2 & 3. All planned way before the season ends.

 

[Sultan]

I'm going to wait for the fourth choice kit.

 

[cromerbee]

Well I thought I watched it all and didn't see the third kit!! Perhaps I missed a bit!!!

 

[wanderer paul]

White. With Claret, Blue and Salmon edging. A nod to the Brentford Rowing Club colours (Brentford never used the colour “salmon” on a kit). Claret and Blue, most definitely!!

 

[RAF_Patto]

32 and a half minutes in will get you about 1 seconds worth of preview.



Cannot see much of it, but if it turns out how I am imagining it in my head then I will definitely be putting this on the Christmas list.

 

[aslan]

Sleeves on the third kit part of the Benrahma?

📺 The Warm Up is Live

The Warm Up boys are back as we build-up to tomorrow's game against Stoke City. Start your football weekend with Brentford B's FIFA 94 challenge, Tariqe Fosu tells us his favourites, and there's a sneak peak at our Umbro Third Kit for this season. There's also build-up to our visit to The Potteries.

www.brentfordfc.com

Yes, 32m 30s into the video......

 

[bubb]

The claret and blue is clearly a nod to all the claret and blue teams who have kept good ship BFC afloat over the last few seasons by buying our players.

 

[grepo]

Is this a windup? Why the delay in announcing this officially. If genuine excited to see the whole shirt and respect the historical influence. Not looking forward to painting the multiple thin edging stripes for a Subbuteo team though. Will have to commission an artist. So far looks much, much better than the very drab and disadvantageous charcoal grey strip.

 

[Banana]

Thought this was a pretty good effort at a mock-up

another pointless 3rd shirt

Away to Bournemouth maybe.

Didn't someone say it is a league requirement now so not all our own work?

I would expect the claret, blue and salmon edging to be on the collar too.

 

[Leedsbee]

Always wondered why we've never (?) had a shirt featuring the rowing club colours. Seems like a bit of a no brainer especially these days when salmon wouldn't be seen as particularly extreme in a world of pinks, violets and fluorescent greens.

wear last season blue kit

 

[jlove]

Wrong shirt sponsor.

 

[Guildford Bee]

Wrong shirt sponsor.

Im sure the sponsor could’ve been changed, we’ve done it in other seasons.

Though from the previews, this looks great.

 

[South Acton Bee]

I like the look of the shirt I just hate this 3rd 4th 5th cup kit easter sunday kit xmas day kit b***ocks . the prize of being a mega club now

 

[PhilE]

Doea anyone have any experience with attaching the EFL badge to the sleeve of the shirt.
One wash and the one on my shirt is barely attached. I've tried a hot iron but doesn't seem to work in 10-20 secs and am relectant to leave it too long in case I damage the shirt.

I had issues with a shirt from abroad, not Brentford obviously, so I just sewed around it close to the edge. Can't notice it from a far and shouldn't come off.

 

[nathanbee]

Its all to do with branding, marketing and sales. Why sell a training top that looks like the actual kit, when people may buy more than one item.

In terms of the small gains, I understand your point, but I suspect the very marginal gain you would get on the pitch would be offset off it by selling less products. Anyway, the wearing of kit in training probably doesn't have much of an impact on where Raya positions himself for free kicks!

The whole point of the question was about the benefits of the branding and revenue generation vs gains on the pitch.
The main argument I can think of against "gains on the pitch" would be the need for the opposition colours as well.

Re your Raya comment ... I agree with BuzzWord .."Ouch"

love that

 

[gbems92]

Only used to buy replicas when i played myself and they would be my training gear but i might treat myself to this one, i think its very tidy

Too old to buy replica shirts for myself, but my son likes it, so I'll probably get one for him.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

I like the reference to our first colours but similar to West Ham away shirt last season or the one before

 

[LboroBee]

Round neck, as it’s on the site now

 

[Leedsbee]

Looks good, would have gone retro collar myself but great to see womens team included in the launch and is Fin Stevens getting bedded in to the first team mix?

That shirt is a work of art.

If I was 40 years younger I would buy it.

 

[Beat Poet]

I see "#NewBeginnings | #BrentfordFC" and can't help but read the "#BigNewAmbitions | #LittleOldBrentford" of five years ago.

The claret seats in the new stadium make sense now

 

[RT]

Video on the club's YouTube is excellent. Great shirt, shame I'm too fat to wear white

Press release says it will be worn for the first time for the game on 3 November against Swansea.... that's a home game

 

[JVT4000]

Very nice. A home kit with this round neck and black/white/black trim with the red and white stripes would be great for next season please.

 

[JCMcBee]

...my 15yr old has already sent his letter to Santa.

 

[cromerbee]

That's a beautiful shirt. I'm getting old but I was bought this seasons home shirt for my birthday and think I may be mentioning this in a month or so!!!!!!

 

[Mr Tree]

Bizarre. Also bizarre that the website refers to our "claret salmon and blue" kit that will be 90% white!

 

[Stander]

The old school colours are very tamely illustrated on this 3rd shirt; basically, three narrow bands on the short sleeves - as a symbolic statement ( rarely to be seen on pitch), I think they could have been bolder in the design, maybe a bold sash, with the three colours.

A nice kit but why do the club bring out commemorative shirts that aren’t commemorative ? Like last season blue/yellow without the yellow

"Available exclusively IN STORE".

As someone who lives 2 hours away I do hope they will take phone orders.

yeah that’s a bit dumb and short sighted if it’s only available in store - or is that just the 3 day pre sale?

 

[Guildford Bee]

I assume it’s just the presale. Releasing a product in store only during a pandemic when many people can’t travel would be quite unwise.
