[Albion] Could this be an item for the Albion museum ?

A thing of beauty. I presume it must have been worn by a player or member of staff

Most Brighton fans know this but we played Man United in the FA cup final drawing the 1st match 2-2 with the famous Smith miss, we ended up losing the replay 4-0 but this went down in Albion history.

I’d be surprised if any museum in the land would pay eight grand for the Turin Shroud.

You can "presume" but unless it is authenticated as being worn by a player or signed, nobody (sane) is ever going to pay EIGHT GRAND for a tracksuit!

If the seller had provenance (coming from a player who played in the match or their family by way of example) then it increases in value but not 8K. NEVER 8K!!

and don’t forget the £4.85 postage!

Yes it does need to be verified. I would think you could get these copied if made in bulk and maybe someone has.

And that was proved to be a fake.

To be fair, if you read the listing, the seller isn't asking 8K.

Well, I'm out then.

We didn’t wear that tracksuit on the day we wore this one. I believe we wore the other one on the helicopter flight back home

"In my opinion, the tracksuit has to be match issue or at least worn by someone who attended the game. This could be players, staff or club officials. The only time it appears is in photos of players/staff wearing it before getting onto the helicopter to be flown to Wembley. "

In other words - I have absolutely no idea if this genuine or not.....

I'm sure they'll be room eventually for Locadias Technics SL1210 turntable

Helicopter was a cream jacket, black trousers.

Wookiee. That picture is different from the actual video. Note the writing of Fly "The Seagulls" on the side. Now trying to remember if they flew to the replay or not. I think the tracksuit, whilst genuine, was only used for the promotion picture when the helicopter didn't take off.

But then in the pre-match managers interview Jimmy is clearly now wearing his tracksuit.

Chelsea will buy it

The club sell, or used to sell a replica of that tracksuit top. I'd be quite happy if they produced a replica of the one in the OP too to be honest. So much better than the generic Nike tracksuits we wear now, which are shared across clubs. I mean even the bloody 4th official was wearing the same design and colour tracksuit top that we had a few seasons ago.

Some good background info from wookie and Old man. Just find it funny how these items get in to peoples hands.

I agree, I think it’s a lovely top. Never knew it existed until today.
