PIC: The new Bray Wanderers home kit is a controversial break with the past

This would look good beside the seaside

Looking very sharp.

The new SSE Airtricity League season is just weeks away, but already we have a contender for finest new jersey.

We like clubs who dare to be a little bit different with their home kits and give fans a reason to not just wear jerseys to matches, but to be proud to wear it grabbing the milk at 11.59 pm in Tesco.

So hats off to the fine folk at Nike, who have gone for a bold new look for Bray Wanderers new home kit.

Last year’s kit was the classic green and white strip that fans have come to expect.

They are the club colours after all.

But it seems that Nike have really upped their designer game this term with a lovely green and black pattern.

But why green and black?

Well perhaps this may explain it as Bray are looking to make it clear their partnership with St Joseph’s Boys AFC in the town.

Although not everyone seems to be happy.

But most fans appear to really like the change.
