Conclusive proof we used to play in Green and Black.

[northstandnorth]

for the many who have doubted we EVER played in Green and Black before I give you the proof.

He could sell those shirts and make a tidy sum, I'm sure.

We wore that kit at my first away game - Southend 1976.

I remember us playing an evening fixture away at Gillingham in a green & black kit in the mid 70's. You could hardly see us in the gloom - I think Sammy Morgan scored .

Perhaps your interpretation of "conclusive proof" is slightly different to most other people but I don't see what that photo is proving.

Didn't bother with the video then?

You mean the video that was posted by someone else?

I somehow expected the chance to fall to Robbie Reinault.

A lot of Brighton fans watching Match Of The Day back then would have still not seen the Green away shirt as they had Black and White televisions.

Yes I remember that although was racking my brain because we also played in red against them too didn't we?

If EVER posts deserved a "facepalm" more than these I must have missed them.

Yep that's the one,though I don't get what relevance who posted it has. Plenty of us on here remember us wearing that kit ( I can also remember us playing in red and blue), your post suggests to me that you don't & don't believe that we ever did .
your right though the photo doesn't actually prove we wore the kit

Quite right

I saw a lot of games 76/77 and 77/78 but damned if I can remember those shirts......................................... growing old!

 

[Seagull on the wing]

1973/75 Green away shirt.

1973/75 Green away shirt.

Was that with green and black stripes or just a plain green top?

I'm pretty sure with away shirts, it was this...
1975/76 Green shirts
1976/77 Red shirts
1977/78 Blue shirts and red shirts
1978-80 Yellow shirts and blue shirts

I stand to be corrected...

Plain green shirt according to my list of shirts from 1901....white shorts...don't remember the black part ,unless they added that later.
