I know there's another thread with regards the new tops but seeing as how it's totally gone off topic i thought i'd start a new one.

Got my new top today and i must say i'm massively disappointed with it. The white V looked like it was already fading and would be pink in about 3 washes time. The stitching on the badges and sponsors looks like they've been sewn on by someone using their feet. The badge is ludicrously big and it's far to long.

On paper it looks like one of the nicest shirts we've had for years but the actual product is, for lack of a better word, crap.

It's definately not worth the money i've shelled out for it

aaarrrggghhh!! was looking forward to picking it up but dreding it in now!

Im not disappointed with the shirt, quite the opposite in fact, as are the rest of the family. The stitching is not that bad, just a few thread ends that just pull off, im not really that fussed about replica shirts, but think this one is good.



Make your own opinion of it, as they say, "one mans water is another mans wine"

Well I love the new shirt think it's the best we have had yet

I suppose the size of the badge is relative to the size of the shirt, so I might not find it on my xxxl shirt

Got mine. I look resplendent in it.

got mine today and am impressed, cant decide what to have on the back 11 forber or 6 Blakeley

It's nothing like I thought it would be, the cotton is just like a t-shirt cotton not like rugby shirts of old, the white v is iron on, its gonna come off after the first wash and the badge with devil on isnt white its biege and small, its on a hanger in the wardrobe and staying there...

I wonder if the thinner gauge cotton has been considered for fans wishing to wear them at matches in the summer. I can't imagine anyone wearing an old style heavy gauge cotton rugby jersey in the middle of July when it's 20-25C? If they did It would certainly keep the St Johns Ambulance people busy because I'd imagine fans would be passing out for fun!

If it's only going to ge hung in the wardrobe why don't you get in signed and framed?

Blimey, a tad Optimistic aren't we?

I have one of the heavy cotton Kangaroos jerseys and they're surprisingly cool in the summer.

If these are like t-shirts then surely they're going to get ripped to shreds during matches?

the players shirts are made of different material,

still waiting for mine should be here tonight, then I can pass comment having already bought two fans shirst from MUST for the same price as this shirt I do hope it is at least of a similar if not superior quality, which might be hard.

I'm loving mine

It's a lovely top. Aesthetically pleasing and a superb idea.
However the material is thin and of the kind of quality you get from Primark. After one wash it'll be mis-shapen. I'm disappointed with the V's as they are iron on ( so becareful with that iron), but I suppose they won't turn pink in the wash.
IMHO it's an expensive top for the quality. Maybe that's why the club only got 1000 made as they knew that they would get sold in the pre season excitement. You wouldn't pay 40 odd quid for it once you've seen it up close.

I'm gonna make sure I wear something under mine so it doesn't get all sweaty and do my upmost to keep it stain free. Then end of the season do my most to get every players signature on it and get it framed.

Has the swear filter altered the middle word of your post?

If so, regardless of much you like the shirt, you're just wrong.
