I’m not against, just call it for what it is. More money, that’s all. But I’d always play blue and white where we can

Shit then.......................
Veey, very, very, very small until this recent of obsession with away shirts - used to be just if there was a colour clash.......... but hey - we must sign into the revenue stream by logging in to buy an over-priced shirt, eh?
Not my shirt!
Does the Europa badge count as personalisation? 14 whole days later in drop 1!

I ordered without the badge as for some reason it was coming up as sold out with it.
Ordered just before 4pm on 1st September so hoping this made the first batch. Will then take it to club shop to have badge put on

Recent? 20-30 years....

Don't think it's an obsession with away shirts, per se. It's just more "not having a load of football shirts that look vaguely the same" from a wardrobe perspective?
Personally I'm not buying this. I love it, looks great, return of the hyperturq etc... but I absolutely cannot justify £70 for a football shirt we will wear probably once or at best, twice in the group stage. Even £60 was pushing it tbf.

For years we have been moaning about our kits, nothing new, all generic, why dont we get a bespoke kit etc
Well, now we do. We now have a unique kit, designed with Brightons most famous landmark (maybe the pier is ) integral to it , Hopefully over the course of the next 9 months we will need to wear an away kit in Europe a fair few times.
Not sure what some people actually want- there is only so much you can do with Blue and white stripes, for some time away kits generally have very little bearing on clubs design and colours in the way home kits do. Look at some of the vomit inducing away kits from Arsenal, City, etc that have been produced over the years
Personally I like the Euro kit, it will be a momento of an amazing achievment. Not sure why the hate, if you dont like it-dont buy it

Why would you only wear it a couple of times? Surely you don't have to wear a shirt for european games only. That would mean that the fa cup final shirts would be more or less redundant.

Yep l agree, people queue up to rubbish something, yet are all too slow say when they approve. Personally l like the kit, it's quirky ,bespoke, and a one off, unique to the Albion.
If they manufactured it in something other than slim fit, l might well be tempted to buy one, irrespective of the price.

Yes it's a new kit that we will rarely ever wear but it's really a ceremonial shirt to commemorate our historic achievement and something to look back on in years to come or even frame and put in a 'mancave'.

Yep - didnt realise qualifying for Europe would increase my overheads
£118 on home Euro match tickets yesterday - and would have bought this Euro kit shirt too but I actually don’t like the silhouetted pavilion design tbh so wouldn’t wear it - looks too much like a ‘tourist’ shirt to me (‘I
Brighton”!) but did get the blue T-shirt as a memento which was much cheaper of course ..

It’s our Europa League kit not an away kit.

On the club website it says:
Please note due to kit clashes, we cannot guarantee this shirt will be worn at Europa League matches.
That suggests it's an away shirt. Otherwise we 100% could guarantee it being worn at least three times. Unless I'm missing something obvious?
Oi oi! Have you done any yet? What’s the quality like these days?

Yeah, it can be read that way. Or it could be the Europa League shirt (potentially six group matches) which might have to be changed for away games (so only worn for a minimum of the three home games).
I ordered one for me and the boy as soon as it came out. I don’t tend to wear colours to games. This is a souvenir of our first and, so far, only season in Europe.
It will be my third Brighton shirt ever. I have the red and black Skint away kit because when they sponsored us I knew a few people involved with that label or scene and I wore it for five a side here and training when I lived abroad and played ex pat. I have the centenary shirt because it was our centenary. And I’m going to have this which will be a half way between the two - a momento that I’ll also wear when I go for a run.
I can justify the cost because I’ve not bought another shirt apart from those three. The boy has had a couple but generally hasn’t liked the home shirts.
