Oh blimey I feel a right muppet if "falz3zzta" is on a marketing mission. But my missus genuinely did buy me one and here is me wearing it when I bumped into Bob Mortimer before the Boro match last season:

Get a grip mate...I'm not happy about the team right now, but can you really not remember playing in front of 7,000 at Withdean or 3,000 at Gillingham? Without "blessed Tony" that's probably where we would still be at
Yes the wife got me one of those for Christmas last year...flippin marvellous piece of gear, and a bargain compared to £45 for an uncomfortable inflammable nylon football shirt that will be redundant in a year's time when the strip changes again. Go for it.
No, but the out field problems are compounded by the surly lack of vocal support. Can you imagine what a buzz it was today being a Wednesday player with that volume of support?
1. Sing Sussex by the Sea at start of each half (loudly)
2. Brighton clap clap clap Brighton clap clap clap (repeat) - 3 times each half
2. Seagulls...Seagulls...Seagulls, etc. at start of each half/corners/freekicks, etc.
3. Albion...Albion...Albion...Albion (repeat) - 3 times each half
That...
How funny that 30 years on people are looking back fondly at the 80s pin stripe shirts...all I remember at the time is people moaning that "it's not like watching the Albion". Anyway, I like the new shirt, yes we should stick to stripes, and last season from the top deck of the West Stand it...
Yes perhaps they should only charge the cost of the raw materials plus perhaps 5% mark-up? Alternatively we could buy white T shirts in Primark for £1.99 and paint our own blue stripes on with poster paints; far better value.
