rocknrollman no2 Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 Apologies if this has been posted before,although i cant find anything. Apparantly the new home shirts,if washed above 30 degrees in your washing machine,the middle "a" on the logo will turn pink.This has happened to a few people i know.But if you take them back to the Mega store,they are aware of the problem and will replace it with a new one for you. This has been blamed on a design fault which Umbro are fully aware of. HTHs.
MrWoody83 Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 that has happened to mine, cant find my receipt though will that matter?
John Boy Saint Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 I saw a chap in the Chapel the other week that looked like he had washed his new shirt with an Arsenal strip circa 1970 (red body pink sleeves) so he a red and white- with a hint of pink stripe version. I thought modern plastic shirts didn't pick up foreign colours.
Dr Who? Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 Ha ha ha. I always wash my Saints shirts by hand!
The9 Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 It doesn't go pink, it just becomes a little more transparent as the red stripes below show through. This happens even if you always wash it below 40 degrees anyway. As for Umbro being aware, I'm sure they know exactly what the problems would be with Saints choosing to graft a cheap sticker onto the front of the shirt ! One of my mates' missus washed his shirt in with a new cheap blue t-shirt last week and after the inevitable Skate-esque disaster ensued, 6 Vanish washes later it was back to white from the unpleasant blue it had gone - and the aap3 logo was still fine too.
alpine_saint Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 Always thought the logo on the home shirt was f*cking crap. Glad we bought the away kit this time round.
Liquidshokk Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 Hmm washed mine on 40 few times and seems fine. Slight pink tinge around end where glue is but unnoticeable really ?!
Turkish Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 Always thought the logo on the home shirt was f*cking crap. Glad we bought the away kit this time round. Did they have your size this time?
sfc1971 Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 Put a sheet of A4 over the logo run over it with a hot iron and rid the shirt of the filthy stain.
Mowgli Posted 5 October, 2011 Posted 5 October, 2011 All this excitement over washing and ironing - I thought I'd stumbled across to the Brighton forum for a minute there.... ....listen to yourselves guys!! ;~)
whelk Posted 5 October, 2011 Posted 5 October, 2011 Anyone got any tips on which fabric conditioner works best?
bristolsaint29 Posted 5 October, 2011 Posted 5 October, 2011 I have found the new Persil stain remover to be a very effective purchase, much better than vanish HTH
alpine_saint Posted 5 October, 2011 Posted 5 October, 2011 Did they have your size this time? Completely uneccesary.
Liquidshokk Posted 5 October, 2011 Posted 5 October, 2011 is there any way to remove the aap3 logo sticker without ruining the shirt? it'd look alright then. Looking at it I'd say it would come off fairly easily. But after you
Cestrian Saint Posted 5 October, 2011 Posted 5 October, 2011 Always thought the logo on the home shirt was f*cking crap. Glad we bought the away kit this time round. I think you'll find that it's f*cking craap³.
