rocknrollman no2 Posted 4 October, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 4 October, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 4 October, 2011 Share Posted 4 October, 2011 Ha ha ha. I always wash my Saints shirts by hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 4 October, 2011 Share 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.

sfc1971 Posted 4 October, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidshokk Posted 5 October, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
