Random Seagulls Shirt

[BadFish]

I am a teacher at a Primary School in Geelong (which has an ever expanding supporter base). As we were lining up with the grade 3s and 4s i say the blue and white stripes out of the corner of my eye. I glanced over assuming that it was probably a North Melbourne top but then i noticed the line of logos down the center an thought "that looks familiar" and sure enough it was one of the new Brighton shirts.

I went over to talk to the student and she said "my brother put it on me this morning with a hat and scarf!" I noticed an accent and she said she was from Leicester. I told her it was an Albion shirt and she should be proud, she smiled and i went about my day waiting for the bus to arrive.

Is this a strange coincidence or a sign of the global brand of BHAFC spreading across the world?

So I arrived Stockholm Tuesday. Horizontal snow stinging yer face and making you wish you'd gone to Daggers. Taxi driver approached, dimly perceived through swirling snow and screwed up eyes. But I could see a dark woolly hat and, emerging out of the blizzard, a familiar badge proudly standing square in the middle of his forehead. He was greetd by a hearty Seagulllllllls! and a grey haired 50 something bloke pointing at his head and smiling

Global branding? No, someone had left it in the back of his cab and he didn't have an effing clue what I was on about.

But the sun came out later.

I was in Sydney a few years ago, on my way home from clubbing as dawn was breaking. Some poor bastard was out for a morning coffee wearing a seagulls hat. He was then greeted by a glassy eyed lunatic screaming seagulls in his face and brandishing a blue and white wallet at him. I was thankfully dragged away by my mate before I decided it might be a good idea to hug him.

Many apologies if that was you, for ruining your morning coffee

Went out in Eastbourne the night we beat Man City a couple of years back. Saw someone in an Albion shirt, shouted all usual 'Seagulls' etc at him, started chatting to him about the game.........He didnt even know we'd had a game that night!! Going out in a football shirt is an unbelievable no-no at the best of times, maybe if he'd come straight from the game it would have been acceptable, but clearly wasnt even a 'real' fan. Madness I tell you!
