The Brighton & Hove Albion 2026–27 125th Anniversary Jersey was created to celebrate 125 years of the club, from 1901 to 2026. Inspired by the plain blue shirt worn by Brighton's earliest side in 1901, the commemorative design was worn by the first team for the official anniversary fixture against Arsenal on 19 September 2026. The occasion became even more memorable as Brighton defeated the reigning Premier League champions 3–0, with Pascal Groß, Charalampos Kostoulas and Chema Andrés scoring in front of a record Amex crowd of 31,944.
The shirt represents a distinctive chapter in Brighton's 2026–27 campaign, with Fabian Hürzeler's team competing domestically and in the UEFA Conference League during the club's landmark anniversary season. GROSS 13 has an especially strong connection to this edition after his opening goal against Arsenal, while KOSTOULAS 19 and long-serving captain Lewis Dunk's DUNK 5 provide further meaningful printing options.
Unlike Brighton's regular striped identity, the anniversary jersey features a beautifully understated Mountain Blue monochrome design inspired by the club's 1901 shirt. A traditional fold-over collar and clean self-fabric cuffs reinforce the early-football aesthetic, while subtle tonal blue detailing is used across the chest branding and sponsor. The specially adapted 125th-anniversary Brighton & Hove Albion crest sits above a “125 YEARS” ribbon, while the inside collar carries the inscription “We are Brighton — 1901–2026”. The deliberately restrained colour palette and heritage-inspired construction make this a particularly distinctive commemorative shirt from Brighton's modern era.

FA Cup: Yet to beginThe 2026–27 campaign marks 125 years of Brighton & Hove Albion, founded on 24 June 1901. To commemorate the milestone, Brighton created this special anniversary shirt based directly on the club's earliest football identity rather than its familiar modern blue-and-white stripes. The design takes inspiration from the plain “fisherman’s blue” shirt worn by Albion's first team in 1901, making it a genuine heritage piece within the club's anniversary celebrations.
Most importantly, this was not simply a commemorative retail release. Brighton's first team wore the 125th Anniversary Jersey against reigning Premier League champions Arsenal on 19 September 2026, in the fixture designated to celebrate 125 years since the club's first competitive match. Brighton produced a memorable 3–0 victory, with Pascal Groß, Charalampos Kostoulas and Chema Andrés scoring at the Amex. The attendance of 31,944 also established a new stadium record, giving this particular shirt an immediate connection to one of the landmark matches of Brighton's modern history.
Brighton's 2026–27 season also marks another European campaign, with the club competing in the UEFA Conference League. Hürzeler's side reached the league phase after coming through the play-off round, while their strong September form lifted them to third in the Premier League. Pascal Groß was named Premier League Player of the Month for September, becoming the first Brighton player to win the award.
Rec. Player Printing Options
Best Printing Choice: GROSS 13
Other Strong Options: MITOMA 7 / RUTTER 10 / MINTEH 11 / DUNK 5 / KOSTOULAS 19
Printing Recommendation GROSS 13 The standout choice for this specific anniversary shirt. Groß scored the opening goal in Brighton's historic 3–0 anniversary victory over Arsenal and was named Premier League Player of the Month for September. MITOMA 7 One of the most recognisable players of Brighton's modern era. Mitoma's attacking style and international profile make No.7 a particularly strong contemporary choice. RUTTER 10 A strong attacking option for the 2026–27 season. Rutter wears Brighton's No.10 and represents an important part of Hürzeler's attacking group. MINTEH 11 A dynamic option strongly connected with Brighton's current generation. Minteh wears No.11 and offers excellent recognition for a modern player print. DUNK 5 The strongest club-heritage alternative. Brighton's long-serving defender provides an especially appropriate connection between the club's history and its 125th anniversary celebrations. KOSTOULAS 19 An excellent anniversary-match-specific choice. Kostoulas scored Brighton's second goal in the 3–0 victory over Arsenal while wearing this special commemorative kit. We recommend GROSS 13 as the leading printing option for the Brighton 2026–27 125th Anniversary Jersey. Pascal Groß has a particularly strong connection to the shirt because he scored the opening goal in the official 125th Anniversary Match against Arsenal, helping Brighton secure a memorable 3–0 victory over the reigning Premier League champions. His performances throughout September also earned him the Premier League Player of the Month award, the first such honour won by a Brighton player.
KOSTOULAS 19 is another particularly meaningful option for this exact shirt. Charalampos Kostoulas scored Brighton's second goal against Arsenal during the anniversary match, giving his name and number a direct connection to the occasion for which this jersey was created.
For customers prioritising Brighton history rather than one particular match, DUNK 5 is also an excellent choice. Lewis Dunk's long association with the club makes him an especially fitting player to pair with a shirt designed to celebrate 125 years of Albion history.
