Sorry if fixtures, but bearing in mind we have worn both home and yellow in recent seasons, any ideas on tomorrow?

Would expect our normal away kit luminous yellow which I prefer with the same colour shorts not black.
In a normal situation, BG's response wouldn't be unreasonable. However, given where we are in the league, and the importance of a good result tomorrow, you have a duty to choose the correct lucky socks. Phone the club in the morning and ask them. Dress accordingly.
While we're at it: get a grip - in future you need to remember which socks go with which kit.

Surely it will be yellow as they wont want to have to wash all the home kit again between now and Friday night

Unless I'm mistaken they wore the yellow every away game through the unbeaten run and then switched. When we switched back to the yellow again we've remained unbeaten.
I reckon it's 99.99% certain well wear the lucky yellow.

Will you be sitting in front of the box in the same kit?

They had to wear blue & white at Hull because of City's gold in their home kit.
They lost at Rotherham in the volt kit.

Pretty sure like all professional clubs that players get a new shirt for every game.

I havent bought a kit shirt since the yellow kit in the 90s but I have tried to buy official polo shirt unfortunately they dont make them in 3xl or 4xl so no joy there. I have to make do with Sport Direct polo shirts, they fit perfectly.

So what happens to the match shirts once worn?

I would be very surprised if that is correct for clubs below the Premier epecially Div 1 and 2 and how does the club justify that expenditure under FFP and what use is a Brighton shirt with a -layers name on it ither than as a prize or souvenier. Many years ago I organised a charity mstch and askd BHA for a set of shirts and was told they are used by the first team then handed down to reserves and then as training shirts etc, that was pre players named shirts.

Do you seriously think the cost of a kit is going to breach the FFP rules? I doubt it even accounts for 0.1% of the clubs total expenditure.

This is a Championship football club. They pay for the players to stay overnight in hotels prior to every single away game, even the ones in London or the South East. They have a commercial deal with Nike worth a fortune relative to previous deals.
They aren't going to worry about chucking a few shirts away. Whilst I doubt they replace them with brand new ones every single match, they probably get supplied with twenty for each player for all we know. It's not like it'll cost Nike a fortune, given what they cost to make...
But with only one shirt each the club could have shaved a couple of grand off last seasons £23,000,000 player budget.
If I were TB I'd also insist the office staff cut each post-it note in half, double the value half the cost.

They obviously get them wholesale a whole lot cheaper than they sell 'em for in the club shop then!
