stbhoy Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 Got the new shirt for my son, it does look smart. However after first wear notice on the washing label it is 30 degree handwash only and preferred method is dryclean. I really don't think this is appropriate as he will want to wear it playing football. Another mistake by the board.

Those Gaza airstrikes, must be the bloody boards fault.

ChudSaint Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 My boys mini kit has been through the washing machine twice, it's all he'll wear. I'll check the label later when he takes it off..
Nolan Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 (edited) Most washing machines have a hand wash setting nowadays. This is only an issue if you have a 20 year old machine. Edited 27 July, 2014 by Nolan
Doctoroncall Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 It's a get out clause, I have trousers which say dry clean and have washed on a 30 degree machine wash for years and they have been fine, they only wear out a little bit quicker but certainly worth it.
Goatboy Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 What the hell are you doing the washing for? Man up for Christ's sake! Unless you're female? In which case: as you were;)
Huffton Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 Just been in to but one, but my money will be staying in my pocket this year. its made of that skin tight material that looks fine on someone with an athletes build, not so good on someone with 25 years drinking experience!

Buy one a size or two bigger then.
Grey Crab Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 What the hell are you doing the washing for? Man up for Christ's sake! Unless you're female? In which case: as you were;) Putting a wink after it doesn't make you any less of a pr1ck.

Ohio Saint Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 Putting a wink after it doesn't make you any less of a pr1ck. What he said didn't make him a pr!ck either. Buy a sense of humour if you can't develop one. I was not offended by what he said, and I am a woman! (albeit not a proper one)
Ludwig Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 Most washing machines have a hand wash setting nowadays. This is only an issue if you have a 20 year old machine. So im now expected to shell out £40 or whatever for a non branded top and then £300 for a new washing machine? Is that right? Well, let me tell you mate, that wont be happening. Someone people might be loaded and like to have their prawn sandwiches in their boxes, but im a bit more of an old fashioned fan. Ive been going to football for years and i scrimp and save to get my tickets.......so no....i wont just go out and buy a fancy washing machine because the club and poncy JCLs tell me to.
Dalek2003 Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 The Liverpool kit is machine washable if you don't mind him wearing last years Saints kit for this years players.
SNSUN Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 Most washing machines have a hand wash setting nowadays. This is only an issue if you have a 20 year old machine. This. And Ours is a Dyson. Dyson don't even make washing machines anymore.
Ohio Saint Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 (edited) As it happens, I work in the worlds' biggest washing machine factory, so I am a bit of an expert on the subject. My tip? Avoid factory work. It sucks out your soul, and replaces it with misery. Oh, and don't buy a machine that Ihave worked on, because I seriously don't give a crap. Edited 27 July, 2014 by Ohio Saint

Maybe buy it a size too big so it'll shrink to fit, or actually do as the label says and hand wash it? You know, like a normal person would?

It's not a new thing that football shirts are poor quality.
monkadill Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 I think its a fair comment by the poster and its shamefully used to insult the person. The forum is sh1te.
Halo Stickman Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 The Lazy Woman's guide to handwashing clothes:
whelk Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 I don't think they should make them past XL so fatties can't embarrass our club by wearing them. Might encourage some to get in shape.
eurosaint Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 I have not seen the new shirt in the flesh but assume that it is 100% polyester therefore a 40 degree machine wash will do it absolutely no harm. For safety's sake, wash it separately first time but thereafter you should not have a problem and shrinkage should not be an issue either (do not tumble dry though as heat can kill it ! The only real benefit of these 'oil based' synthetic fibres is there washability, so if that fails then you're left with a rag ! All in my professional opinion, you understand !

wadesmith Posted 27 July, 2014 Posted 27 July, 2014 I remember watching football in the late 80's/ early nineties. Bit of banter, beer before the game, cop some abuse from away fans, police treating you like cattle...me and my mate watched Saints v Oldham at the Dell once with about 11,000 others. The rain was falling sideways. We were ****. We lost. We moaned about it for a bit, then got drunk in The Old Oriental & never spoke of it again. Today some blokes got the hump because our new shirt is handwash. Somewhere in the distance a cow moos. How did it come to this?

Machine setting? Stereotypical Chinese guy with a pointy hat and slitty eyes?
