Brighton and Hove Albion

Brighton and Hove Albion are one of English football's most upwardly mobile clubs, a seaside institution that has firmly established itself in the Premier League after years of struggle and two decades of building under visionary ownership. Founded in 1901 and playing in their blue and white stripes at the magnificent Amex Stadium, the Seagulls have become famous for their data-driven approach and a conveyor belt of talent that attracted some of European football's most celebrated managers. A run to the FA Cup Final in 2023 marked a landmark moment for a club whose recent rise has been truly remarkable. Founded in 1901, Brighton and Hove Albion play at the Amex Stadium (capacity around 31,800) in Falmer, East Sussex. They compete in the Premier League. Key achievements include gaining promotion to the Premier League in 2017 and establishing themselves as a top-half Premier League club. Nicknamed the Seagulls, they wear blue and white stripes. Brighton's blue and white stripes are one of the most recognisable kits on the south coast of England. The Amex Stadium era has produced increasingly smart Nike kits that combine the traditional stripes with modern performance design. The 2016-17 promotion season shirts are particularly treasured, worn during the campaign that finally brought top-flight football back to the club after 34 years away. The bold striped home shirts of the Premier League era have become a canvas for some of the most elegant modern kit design in English football.
