Do you wear your Brighton shirt on holiday?

[philsussex]

I'm not one for wearing football shirts apart from at matches.

I do always take it on foreign holidays though and wear it on one day just to get a picture of a BHA shirt in foreign lands.

Anyone else similarly sad?

 

[cobbyseagull]

most definately! Also quite sad of me but always look out for other teams shirts as well can get you talking to anyone for ages about football!!

 

[bhaexpress]

Yes

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I took one away with me once and ended up giving it a an African orphan. It really makes me cringe seeing a football shirt worn abroad. I don't tend to end up in resorts, so I am rarely faced with it.

I've got one of those TOFFs retro 1970s Albion shirts and an array of t-shirts which all get worn on hols. I also get the kids to wear their Albion shirts plus their Sussex CCC/sharks shirts as well. Must be done.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Nope

It's quite interesting. I think adults who wear replica shirts to football matches are sad losers. Sorry, I know that probably offends a lot of you but there you are, it's just a thing I've got. (Especially if you've got your NSC name on the back).

However you can all sneer back at me because when I go away I make sure I've always got Albion 'stuff' with me to wear whenever possible. Not a replica shirt because that's still a bit naff but t-shirts etc with the badge on them. (It's a bit of a shame that the current range is a bit crap but that's another story).

Nope, never have done, but usually come back with a shirt or two picked up on my travels.

 

[Bwian]

No.

 

[Easy 10]

Absolutely.
Was wearing it during an England game in Euro 2004 in a bar in Lanzarote (just after we'd done Bristol City in the playoff final), and was accosted by a jubilant group of Gasheads. I didn't have to buy a drink all night.

Please tell me people don't have their NSC usernames on the back of their shirts.

I'm not a loser, neither am I particularly sad. I almost always wear a shirt to games, but when abroad/holiday, I might wear one out if I'm going to a footie/sports bar. I agree though that there is not a lot of decent Albion gear available at the moment, most of it is a bit rubbish IMO you understand, others may like it plenty.

Always, every single holiday I've ever been on in the last 10 years (at least) I've taken a BHA shirt, and for the past few years a Cowdenbeath shirt has been included aswell

Both parts of that post sum it up for me. Never touch the replica shirts, but do wear other stuff, although, as you say a lot of Albion merchandise isn't great.

 

[Safeway]

Yup, always insist on wearing it at least once, usually when I drag the missus to the local football ground. Bit chavvy maybe but who cares?

On city breaks it'll be the scarf.

My Albion shirts are seen regularly in the Zizkov area of Prague

Guilty.
But in my defence, I always had Easy on my shirt before I started posting on here, it was a nickname LONG before it became a username.

We had a similar experience after the Hereford game. We were staying in Cheltenham with friends after the game. We went out on the town, naturally in a good mood, we met a load of Cheltenham fans, who it turned out don't care too much for Hereford at all and were delighted we had sent them down. We didn't pay for many drinks that night

I did have on one of mine, but I would say that's understandable.

Yeah, because those designer label-style polo shirts from the club shop with a seagull instead of a brand logo are SO classy.
