Brighton & Hove Albion’s 125th anniversary shirt now has its confirmed one-game stage.
The club’s limited Nike anniversary strip, created to mark Albion’s 1901 formation, is set to be worn in the dedicated 125th anniversary fixture confirmed by Brighton last week. The official anniversary page says the shirt draws from the club’s earliest colours, carries the years 1901-2026 inside the design and will be used for one match only.
That gives the release sharper context after the club had already marked the anniversary at the Seven Stars, the Brighton pub where Albion were formed. Lewis Dunk has featured in the club’s anniversary imagery, underlining the bridge between the current Amex era and the club’s origin story.
Our 125th anniversary match is confirmed.

Brighton Heritage Push Now Has A Match-Day Focus
For Brighton, this is more than a retail line. The one-off shirt gives Fabian Hurzeler’s squad a visible heritage marker before a season already loaded with Premier League and European demands.
Footy Headlines also reported that the boxed anniversary collection is limited to 1,901 units, a deliberate nod to the founding year. That scarcity will split opinion among supporters, but the sporting message is clear: Brighton are turning the milestone into a match-day event, not just a museum-piece campaign.
