MORE than £10,000 has been raised to help Ukraine by Albion fans purchasing football shirts.

In a continued show of support for the country, Brighton and Hove Albion men’s team will wear the club’s yellow and blue third strip for their Premier League fixture against Liverpool on Saturday.

Albion’s women’s side will also wear the kit in their Women’s Super League match against Liverpool this weekend.

All profits raised by shirt sales of the yellow and blue strip will be donated to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

This week, Premier League clubs collectively donated £1 million to the Disasters Emergency Committee to deliver humanitarian aid directly to those in need.

A statement released by Albion said: “With both the men’s and women’s first-team fixtures being broadcast live in the UK and in a huge number of other countries around the world this weekend, Albion have opted to sport the colours of the Ukrainian flag — as they did last weekend in their respective men’s and women’s away fixtures — instead of the club’s traditional blue-and-white stripes.”

Deputy chairman and chief executive Paul Barber added: “We continue to be horrified by the events in Ukraine and wish to show our support for all those affected. We reiterate the many calls for peace.

“We were proud to wear yellow and blue in both matches last weekend, and felt the gesture of changing the colours for our home fixtures this weekend would further amplify the message and continue to show our solidarity with all those suffering as a result of this terrible conflict.”
