But the former Seagulls striker and his predecessor up front Bobby Zamora were impressed by how many shirts from another club they saw in those colours as they showed their backing for Non-League Day.
The blue and white in question was that of Haywards Heath Town.
Murray and Zamora were representing the Premier League’s Stadium Fund, now enjoying its 25th anniversary, and were popular visitors to the Mid Sussex club, who were hosting AFC Varndeanians in the quest for the Southern Combination title.
The duo signed autographs and posed with fans for pictures with the Premier League trophy throughout the first half.
They competed in a penalty shoot-out at half-time (won by Zamora as it went to sudden death).
And they chatted in the clubhouse afterwards over a warming brew sipped from Haywards Heath Town mugs.
A busy afternoon – but they were turning around or standing up to a get a glimpse of the action as Heath won 5-1.
Murray said: “We are here on behalf of the Premier League, and it's a grant of about of 125 grand, and you can see where it has been spent on the stadium.
“I love the vibe around here, the community spirit.
“I'm actually blown away with how many kids we have got here with Haywards Heath shirts on, which is really refreshing.
“So I think initiatives like this are so important and this ultimately is grassroots football, the foundation and the entry point into the league.
“This is where you get games to prove yourself to get that opportunity to move on like me and Bobby did a long time ago.”
The young Zamora scored at better than a goal a game on loan to Bath City from Bristol Rovers before his loan move to Albion.
Grabbing a quick glimpse of the Heath game, he said: “If you come to be involved in a game of football, for us it is such a big part of our lives you can't help but want to take an interest and see any talent or a couple of goals or whatever it may be.
“I went on loan to Bath City in Dr Marten's Prem.
“I got seven or eight goals in six games, I think it was, and then went back to Bristol Rovers.
“They called me back and in January I went to Brighton on loan for a month.
“Bath was men’s football. Competitive, real football where every result had a meaning.
“It wasn't youth team, it wasn't reserve team.
“It actually had a meaning and, as a young player, it was just a real confidence boost as well because I wasn't tearing up the youth team.
“For me to go into men's football and get that experience and score goals gave me the reassurance of, ‘Yeah, actually I can do it’.
“Certainly at that level. Let's go to the next level.
“It was a fantastic experience and I learned a lot, valuable lessons and just really appreciated my time.”
It was suggested to Zamora that what goes on at this level is real English football whereas the Prem is more of a global style.
But the point was made just after he had got out of his seat to see a long throw hurled into the mixer.
He said: “I think this is a certain style of football.
“But, look, we just turned around to watch a long throw go in and that’s a huge part of the Premier League now.
“So there are elements of every part of football.
“It’s just great to see the fans, a record-breaking crowd here, and just where that money has been spent.”
In Heath’s case, the funds have paid for more efficient floodlights, which save money, and new hospitality facilities, which boost income.
Premier League director of community Nick Perchard said the tadium Fund had provided more than £220 million across 1,000 non-league and women’s clubs in 25 years.
He added: “We are helping these clubs to grow and be the hub of a community, which is what they are.
“This club has got 20 youth teams, a women’s team and this great first team and everybody coming here to celebrate.
“Pretty much every club in non-league have benefited from the Premier League Stadium Fund.
“Ultimately, it is about making sure clubs at this level can play and get promoted an also helping make sure this a real high quality experience for people coming through the gate.
“That they love their day and come back every week.”
He highlighted the fact that the Prem give 20% of their revenue to clubs outside the league and added: “We are really proud of that.
“As the Premier League has grown, we have been able to increase the amount of money coming into clubs like Haywards Heath and we have a game in amazing health.
“We have non-league clubs seeing more and more fans and the women’s game is growing at pace.”
