A short time ago this afternoon Brighton and Hove Albion released the new home and away strips for the coming Premier League campaign of 2018/19.

The Nike home kit features the iconic blue and white stripes and we’ve plumped for a green away offering this year as inspired by history and our 1898/99 kit.
The promotional blurb references the ‘latest Nike technology’ but I doubt it comes with your own home assistant or wifi.
Kits are on pre-order now, priced at:
Shirts – £50
Youth Shirt – £40
Shorts – £20
Youth Shorts – £18
Little Kids – £40
Infant Kits – £35
Squad numbers are still to be officially confirmed so fans are advised to wait and not use last season’s numbers for their own safety.
The goalkeeper kit for the coming campaign will be given a date for reveal shortly.
Initial reactions on social media have been very positive indeed and plenty of fans can’t wait to get their hands on the new shirts as we go into our second successive season in the Premier League. There are the usual number of dissenters given how personal shirt reactions can be though.
???? The club’s retail website is currently down for scheduled maintenance…
New kits available at 2pm from ➡️ https://t.co/ILPeFHMe7u #BHAFC ????⚪️ pic.twitter.com/jFnE809m9Z

Hope the away kit isn't all green.. Won't be able to see the players on the pitch if so! ????????

Somewhat underwhelming.

I think it's much better than last year's, the sponsor kinda ruins it but the sleeves look great

Simpler than last year's, which is good, but would have preferred blue shorts. The #Sussexbythesea collar is a nice touch. Hope @NikeUK pay the people in Bangladesh who make it a decent wage from the £50 we fork out for this.
