If not Vicente, then another Albion player of your choice. At, say, £15? Official goods, from the club shop.

I ask because I think there are many of us who would be happy to declare our 'man-love' (or mere admiration) for an Albion player, but are too old, fat and/or cool to wear a replica shirt.

Up for it? Yay or nay.

Why? A tee is not the same a replica shirt where you're effectively pretending to be/look like a player.

Yes, yes I would. It would be the first Albion legend t-shirt I've worn since the Johnny Crumplin Football Genius one.

Yes - I look like a complete muppet in my replica shirt. I'm heavy-boned unfortunately.(No not in a gay way).

Still a bit weird in my view, drop the player name on the back and I guess it would be ok

I wouldn't wear a shirt with a number on the back and someone else's name on it when just out and about. End of.

The only shirt I've ever owned with a name on it said "Sully". I was 12.

Have the club ever produced a t-shirt without 'flappy sleeves'? While I don't claim to be Jean Paul Gaultier, the club do alienate the more sartorial BHA fan with their usual 'West Street Saturday Night' range. Then again, for reasons of economics, you've got to appeal to the mass market and the vast majority of fashionistas would more than likely eschew any football-branded clobber, no matter how slick the fit or design, but the marketeers could still do well to remember that a lot of us would like to show our allegiance to the club, just in a more North Laine, rather than Western Road kind of way.

I feel the same way. I've also felt that the club merch was poorly designed and was frustarted that a city like ours with it's creative resources was ignored.

At the fanzine we wanted to make t-shirts for fans, and they have been really succesful. We screen print them in Brighton and need new ideas for designs so please send us an email at tslr at hot mail co uk with your suggestions.

I love that Vicente one, but we can't use the seagull really, otherwise I'd get a bunch knocked up double-quick.

Obviously we are hampered by copyright stuff, but that shouldn't make too much difference.

These two have proved very popular so far ...
