correct,they will not take it back without a reciept.

As I said, evidence of purchase using your bank/credit card statement aligned to that period would be suffice, by law you are not required to produce an actual receipt of sale but do have to have some evidence of purchase from them (hence the bank credit card statement)
The club would then be able to check their own records if so wished or if you as the consumer were insistant. Given the specifics of a shirt with particular letters on a particular day it wouldn't be too hard to trace it on an electronic system.

And if you paid by cash?

The woman in the Saville Street shop said to me that if I had the credit card statement that would be fine. Problem is, it was paid for in cash and lost the receipt!

My shirt is like brand new, the only problem I have with my shirt is it does not fit me....gained a few pounds since I stopped smoking in Dec

Took mine back the day before the derby withoput a receipt / statement and they swapped it no problem. Went for a home shirt instead so I won't have to worry about it happening again.

Obviously I was answering in response to those saying you needed a receipt to take goods back.

However if you haven't got any proof of purchase and you paid cash, then that complicates matters but if you know what date and roughly what time you did purchase then the club should be able to trace it down on their system.
If you were particularly insistant that you bought it there then whoever is in charge should track down the transaction especially if it had specifics in terms of lettering which was mentioned.
Hope that helps you sort things.

Here in Wrexham we just wish we actualy had a shirt or anything with the team badge on that we could buy! We can only dream about having shops stuffed full of merchandise.

I bought my eldest the away shirt for Christmas, checked it fitted ok then threw away the receipt...I don't keep receipts after so long if I don't need to.

His P is falling off, does anyone know if JJB are selling youths shirts because if they're not I'll take his shirt back to the shop tomorrow.

EDIT: Just checked and they do...bugger

It's happening with my 1989 Wigan shirt I got the other week, I think my Nan ironed the sponsor haha.

tut tut tumble drier, tut tut radiator, tut tut 40c, tut tut inside out, tut tut don't iron, tut tut don't mx with other items, tut tut don't hand wash, tut tut wrong washing powder, tut tut just don't!!! for fooks sake why not just buy them and hang them in the wardrobe, they only cost £43 quid after all.... Both mine still ok though after several washes each

The P&O on my Jumper is starting to curl. I think its time we changed our kit makers as no one will wont to buy a shirt next season.

This is the first time they have needed a receipt despite various shops selling Hull tops in previous seasons. With a little bit of complaining they took mine back. Might be worth a go.
