After months of waiting, the new Brentford kit has finally been revealed to an expectant support. The clubsite has the full story and front/back shots, which you can see here.
My own thoughts are that the shirt is a winner. Thick red/white stripes (and on the reverse, too) offset with that traditional black trim. Being honest, the red shoulders looked a little bizarre on the ‘official’ picture but the subsequent ‘email flyer’ I received put those in a much better light and, dare I say it, I quite like them.

My only real disappointment is the lack of any 125th anniversary badge, which I was sure we had been promised earlier in the year. In retrospect, the article from the time (Feb 16th, to be precise) said : “A variation of the first badge will be on Brentford FC shirts next season, subject to Football League approval.”
I can only guess that approval was never granted. A shame, and moreso given our former chairman Greg Dyke is the head of the FA. Surely he could have exerted some influence? The 100 years were marked by use of the ‘funky bee’ so I had high hopes our original badge may have appeared this time around
It is a pity but I won’t let it ruin what is still a great Bees shirt. I’ll certainly be emptying the piggy bank to line up at the club shop when these go on general sale.
Now, who’s got the news on the away shirt….?
As the ‘Funky Bee’ was good enough for 100 years, I had hopes we’d go one better for 125

Spoilt only by the pig ugly stick on sponsor block. Given that this was a bespoke design, there is no reason why the white block could not have been included as part of the shirt design with the sponsor’s name printed directly onto the shirt, as it used to be when Hertings sponsored us.
The teasers reminded me of the end credits of Thunderbirds so Im slightly disappointed that the shirt isnt Lady Penelope’s pink rolls royce. Good shirt nevertheless.
We still have to see the away kit. After the pink effect attained when the centenary pinstripes were viewed from a distance of anything over 5 yards, who knows what tribute we may still unveil
