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 seasons third shirt.

How should I wash and care for my jersey?
To ensure longevity, we recommend:
-
Machine washing cold with similar colors.
-
Turning the jersey inside out.
-
Avoiding bleach and fabric softeners.
-
Tumble drying on low heat or, ideally, air drying.
-
Avoiding ironing directly on printed or heat-pressed areas.
Kit Republic Team
Welcome to Kit Republic, a nation founded not on geography, but on passion. We are a global collective of football supporters who believe the true spirit of the game lives in the stands, the pubs, and the streets—wherever fans gather. Our mission is simple: to craft the highest quality fan-style football apparel that lets you represent your club or country with pride, on your own terms.
We are not an official retailer. We are designers and storytellers for the supporters. In the Kit Republic, we celebrate the iconic aesthetics of football kits—the stripes of Juventus, the deep blue of France, the iconic yellow of Brazil—and reimagine them as premium, wearable tributes for the modern fan. We bridge the gap between the electric energy of match day and the style of everyday life, creating jerseys that are as suited for a Champions League final viewing party as they are for a casual weekend out.
Our philosophy is built on three pillars: Quality, Community, and Identity. Every stitch, fabric choice, and design detail is scrutinized to ensure our apparel meets the standards of the most discerning supporters. We foster a global community of fans who share a language beyond borders—the language of football passion. Most importantly, we empower your football identity, giving you the tools to showcase your allegiance in a way that feels authentic and unique to you.
From the bustling football cultures of Europe to the rising passion across the Americas, we serve citizens of the Republic worldwide. We offer inclusive sizing and a dedicated youth collection because fandom is a heritage passed down through generations.
