Founded on the East Sussex coast in 1901, Brighton & Hove Albion – known across English football as The Seagulls – marks its 125-year heritage in 2026 with unmistakable royal-blue and white stripes. The Brighton and Hove Albion 2026 Advent Calendar brings the matchday atmosphere of Falmer into living rooms, studies, and collector shelves throughout December. Rather than disposable paper flaps that get tossed aside after Christmas, this upright rigid paperboard collector box houses 24 freestanding 3D molded miniature squad figurines on labeled circular bases.
Seagulls Roundel Crest and American Express Stadium Winter Artwork
At the crown of the deep royal-blue rigid paperboard exterior sits the circular Brighton & Hove Albion roundel crest depicting a white seagull in flight with a golden-yellow beak, flanked by smaller soaring seagulls and crisp white snowflakes. Beneath the bold white Advent Calendar lettering and the ribbon banner reading 24 Days of Blue & White Surprises, a snow-dusted architectural illustration captures the sweeping arched steel roof trusses and illuminated glass facade of the American Express Stadium, home to the club since 2011.

Along the left glazing of the stadium rendering, the club motto One Club, One Community, Always Albion stands alongside the central circular seagull emblem and snow-covered pines. The full-wrap print continues down the side spine with vertical club lettering and a secondary seagull crest, giving the box a clean profile on a mantelpiece or bookcase.
Rigid Paperboard Construction and Molded Pedestal Stability
Constructed from dense rigid paperboard, the calendar stands upright without propping while protecting the 24 individual compartments inside. Every chibi-proportioned figurine is molded in three dimensions with distinct hairstyles, facial details, and kit markings, and is permanently anchored to a flat matte-black circular base so the figures line up neatly across wood, glass, or painted shelving.
