    Mine arrived today, definitely looks better in person and no issues with different shades of red on the shoulders and the body, I guess that was just an issue with the fake copies or was a prototype

    Would recommend sizing up though, it’s definitely a closer cut than some previous shirts (although it runs longer)

    Probably my favourite home shirt in a long time, as evidenced by the fact I caved in to buying it already <laugh>

    My Chinese contact has them in stock. Just ordered one - they are £15.

    DM me if anyone would like his number, it is done over WhatsApp and you pay him PayPal 'friends and family' but I trust him - I have bought over 15 shirts from him over the last few years (lol not all for me but Dad etc). They are normally exact replicas of the ones in the shop.

    On the subject of P&O Cruises, their recent change to their wheelchair policy is overzealous discriminatory horseshit. I likely won't be going on any cruises with them again, but not because they sponsor Southampton.

    I've written a complaint, and yes I did mention seeking legal advice. **** P&O. MSC are far better, or at least less ableist.

    Basically all people who use wheelchairs, even if they're an electric foldable one, are forced to have an accessible cabin (or a suite, clearly a con to sell more suites) and an evacuation chair which obviously hugely limits the number of available spaces. My friend who I went on a cruise with recently *cough*who is also my ex*cough* has ME so she is capable of walking with a stick, though she has a small, compact chair which I dunno the dimensions for but it weighs 13kg so it's quite light which she uses just to preserve her energy levels but sometimes she just uses her stick. We even did a walking tour of Bruges on foot which she was fine with.

    Basically it views all disabled people as the same and as invalids, it's definitely an ableist perspective of disability.

    Yes, in some cases there may be those who an accessible cabin and an evacuation chair is necessary, but there are those whom it isn't too. It wasn't an issue with MSC. We just had to fill in a disability questionnaire. She also went on a P&O cruise last year with her chair and it was fine.

    Edit: I've looked and the Iona has 55 accessible cabins out of 2500-ish. Which means:

    1) The chances of getting an accessible cabin are ridiculously low
    2) Because of their BS policy, we'd be taking them away from someone who genuinely needs one

    Also they seem to forget that an estimated third of wheelchair uses are ambulatory

    My guy just got the shirts from the wholesalers and always photographs them to confirm they are what I want. This is the shirt he is sending to me for £15

    Looks near enough the original to me, though I think the arms may be slightly darker.

    Comparing it to DTLW's one, the P&O logo looks a tad wider**

    **Though I am only a large and he may be a XXL lol so his is wider <laugh>

    The badge looks weird to me but could just be the photo.

    I’ll do my usual of buying all three in June next year when they are cheap and then chucking them in the wardrobe and never wearing any of them.

    I like the shirt. It certainly looks much better when worn. But what could have been, just a notch up for a classic

    The black Puma logo actually goes well with the badge and makes more visual sense in relation to rather thick P&O outlines and counter fills (which I would have though would be against the P&O branding style guide - it should be) which have been added due logo sitting on the striped background.

    It's essentially a custom logo, along with the thick outline and fills, the tones have been reversed creating an event horizon, the brand typeface is now in super bold while "&" and "RUISES" have been enlarged, changed to match the proceeding letters.

    It will be interesting if they return to this version of their bona fide logo (probably in monochrome) for the other shirts, where there is no consequential background interference. Or use the "new" logo from the home kit, minus the outline.

    I was in the club shop earlier today, and it was pretty busy with plenty of the home shirts being purchased.
