Brentford FC 2025-26 Third Kit

On 7 October in 1889, a meeting was called by Archer Green - the secretary of the Brentford Rowing Club. The idea of creating a football club was discussed, and all those who were interested in football gathered in the pavilion of the Oxford and Cambridge hotel in Kew Bridge. It was agreed that a vote would be taken on Wednesday 16 October to determine whether the rowing club would play football or rugby; football was favoured by eight votes to five. As a result, Brentford Football Club was formed, adopting the claret, salmon and blue colours of the rowing club which are seen on this season’s third shirt.
