No chance unless you move to a smaller manufacturer and the club takes a financial hit

Not really. If you want to get into a technical discussion about this, I actually follow the label on the product. It does not say anything about no conditioner and only at 30 and only inside out. Neither have any of the staff told me the advice when I have purchased in the past. Its advice I have picked up from this forum. I am also fully aware that its a replica shirt. A replica shirt that costs the best part of £50. As such I expect a certain level of quality. I have no issue with the quality of the actual shirt. My issue is with the transfers that are put on which are of a very poor quality imho. I have had discussions with senior members of staff at the club about this. They acknowledge the issue but seem to be happy replacing fault products rather than addressing the issue.

I have 4 kids all taking part in various sports. All have shirts with sponsors logos. Not one logo is a transfer. They are all intergrated into the shirt. Thats grassroots sport.

I guess we will agree to disagree ideally without trying to belittle each other.

And? You forgot the main reason why


Fans LIKE the shirt!

Can you imagine a company like Apple advertising that their iPhone batteries don't last longer than half an hour. Of course the positive comments are going to be used to advertise the shirt.

Overall, according to the survey I have carried out (4 people), 100% of fans like the shirt

Special edition shirts will cost more to produce and will be completely bespoke, rather than the templated Normal shirts. Just IMO. I agree with you by the way, just trying myself to understand why they are that way
