Quote: Marty Grrrrrrrrrr! "On a positive note club have some retro 1968 Watersplash shirts in again. Long sleeved. Fantastic. £50.
Just bought one and love it'"
I read this and dropped in to the club shop with my son, with the express intention of buying the retro shirts. I have to say I thought the overall look and concept of the shirt was excellent, but the execution is very disappointing. There were a choice of 4 shirts in my size and one in my sons. They were all poorly finished, with loose threads and random white threads poking up on the quilted area on the top back in particular. I sorted out the best of the four, only for my son to point out that the 50th anniversary patch was missing, a fault that was replicated on the only shirt in his size. I ended up buying the best of the three with the anniversary patch, but felt a bit of a mug for accepting sub strandard merchandise, my son gave it a miss. The person behind the counter was really helpful, apologised but also seemed to indicate we were not just unlucky. It seems the Chinese had not done the greatest of jobs on the Watersplash Commerative shirt. The club IMO needs to put more effort into Q.A. with its chosen supplier, they shouldn't accept and sell on to the fans, sub standard kit.

I wonder how much they paid for each £49.99 shirt?
