Agree. Fans wearing sandex shirts ought to get free beer. I'm wearing mine and I know there's only couple thousand others out there like me. We ubers need to stick together amongst the great jcl unwashed

Ditto.
I hope this is a sign of what's to come although I'm not a fan of the centred badge.
Stripes down the back please please please
I believe a reason most clubs centre the logo is because it's cheaper than putting it to one side- remember it being a thing leeds fans complained about when costs were cut a few years ago
*Not accusing our club of being cheap, just sharing a tid bit of info)
thnk you'll also find that fans like central badges, as they don't disappear from view when the shirt is worn under a jacket (or fleece in my case)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO that is not the case, it's just that we choose to let Errea make us shirts like that (it might be rules in other markets around the world). There is no FA, FL or any other rule that insists the back is plain on shirts in the UK. Plenty of other teams have stripes on the back of their shirts, Huddersfield, Sunderland and Brentford come to mind immedeatly.

but Colchester and Huddersfield have the stripes continuing down the back but i guess colchester have red numbers...
does anybody know if the numbers will have a gold outline? maybe that would qualify them as 'legible'

And in the UK, it is deemed legible for Sunderland, Huddersfield, Stoke, Brentford and several others, i.e., the referees can see. I believe that a few years ago SCC made it ito a European competition, and they produced a shirt with a plain back for those games only, as their then home kit had stripes on the back, that was at the request of UEFA.
Oh, and I think this is the shirt to which you refer;

£50 is this a joke !! Sadly not and this is just the start of suprisingly high prices for everything Albion related plus expect a large hike in season ticket prices after season 1 whatever division we are in. Many many thanks to Tony for the stadium , no one can repay his generosity but to his business staff a note - Please remember what Brighton fans have had to put up with for so many years and do not please start taking the piss. Times have changed but once upon a time going to the footie cost approximately the same as going to the cinema. Oh happy days..........imho

OK, from the FA Rulebook:
"Where the Competition rules require a number on the back of the shirt, it should be clearly legible and positioned in the centre of the back of the shirt.
The number should be between 20 cm and 35 cm in height with provision for each
competition to set specific criteria. A number may also appear on the front of the shorts which must correspond with the number on the shirt.
The number should be between 10 cm and 15 cm in height with provision for each competition to set specific criteria. The officially designated logo or name of the Competition or combination of the same may appear once only on each of the player’s shirt numbers providing the logo, name or combination does not exceed an area of 20 square centimetres. No other advertising or any other marking is allowed on players’ shirt numbers".
So no reference of blank panels there, just legibility.
"Shirts must be numbered such that the numbers can be clearly identified by officials and spectators. Striped, hooped or otherwise patterned shirts shall have numbers affixed to contrasting patches or numbers in a contrasting colour with bold outline"
Which clearly states that numbers with a bold outline, like all FL numbers, are OK on a striped, hooped or patterend shirt, no need for a blank patch.

I personally am not a huge fan...yet. I actually really liked last year's because of the v neck collar and it being predominantly blue. I think this one will grow on me though.
