first brigton shirt you owned

[Superphil]

They're different kits from different seasons, aren't they? The blue NOBO badge is from the 87-88 season I think and the red one(which incidentally was my first Brighton top) was the kit from 88-91.

I'm not sure that they are, I have investigated this and I think perhaps there were a few printed like this before they settled on the Red/White combination. Something similar happened with the first home kit at Gillingham.

These sites only recognise the red on white

is the right answer - two points to that man.

Blue patch was the first season with Nelson and Bremner banging them in as we surged to promotion from Div3 in 87-8

white patch with red type - the 88-89 season in the old div 2. (a 3-1 stuffing of the Palace at the Goldstone on Boxing Day -now thats memories)

watch out for the patches tho. they are notoriusly fragile once they've been in a washing machine. All of them, sponsors logo, club badge, manufacturers logo are only stick on patches - all mine disappeared in one wash and spin dry!

That was my SECOND shirt. First one was the British Caledonian kit we had in the 1982 / 83 season. Got the socks and shorts, too. Still got it somewhere.

Me too.

This little gem was my first shirt...

My all time favourite shirt, my first shirt was the home one we wore in 2004 season

Was it really twenty-five years ago?

people wearing football shirts are short on their own identity and almost sheep like in their behavior

This may be.
At least they might stumble upon a worthwhile identity though!

You should try it, it might make you suddenly....interesting.

that was one of my first, but I think I had a "Sandtex" one from one of the seasons before that when I was a small lad.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Wash you mouth out, blue and red stripes indeed

Shit, sorry I got that wrong, was it blue and black stripes?

The original rather than the toffs. Given to my Dad before the Cup Final for me by either Steve Foster or Jimmy Case. Not sure which one.

Actually now I've seen both, the original version of that one was my first. I found a picture of me at Christmas wearing it - the 'brewery' bit was definitely encapsuled within the square bit of felt.

 

[Jake Manthorpe]

I think this was my 1st

 

[Braders]

the 97-98 away top was my first

 

[csider]

That was my first shirt - I got an entire Albion kit as a Xmas present - I must have been about 10 (1978 ish) and I wore the entire kit (possibly including football boots) all day.

Same here............think it was bought from Diggins at the top of Blatchington rd.
