That was the point I was making. Shirts look like a jigsaw before stitching and the front panel should look exactly the same on each size.

This is a strike of image of an XS shirt front. If it was a 6XL it would still look the same as our designer would make the same pattern fit inside all sizes in the range before sending to the pattern master.

I think the Turkish factory has either not known about this necessity or, more worryingly, thought nobody would notice if they just ran off loads of big shirt fronts and cut them down for each size. That would also make a shed load of wastage so it is likely they actually don't know how to make shirts properly which is mental.

Yeah, it’s shocking. Like you said, instead of making each size identical it seems they’ve just cut the front out of the same cloth at different sizes and stitched them onto the sides. That might work with solid colour shirts but not vertical stripes.

It’s that sort of lack of attention to detail and the poor adhesive used for the badges that makes me think the Kappa Turkey licensee is crap. Also makes me question Acun for choosing them to make our kits simply because he owns it. For £49.99 it really is unacceptable and there’s no excuse. You’d get better quality from a sweatshop in Bangladesh ffs.

I popped in, and quickly popped out, of the new club shop in St Stephens, Christ what a dark dingy hole it is, who designed it, some Goth with X Ray eyes?
Completely black walls with half a dozen spotlights does not make a welcoming shop, I walked in two yards and turned straight back round and out, and small compared the stadium shop, great big bollock dropped I think.

Its pretty basic stuff. Just doesn't happen with experienced factories.

I was talking to a security guard I know who works in there, he told me that the queue on the first day was because they advertised it would open at 9 am, but they didn't open until 10. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

Are the kits likely to include a long sleeved version? Nothing listed on Tiger Leisure and don't remember seeing one on any players. Will it just be a case of short sleeves with a base layer?

No need to be a sarcastic twat. The other concept kits was an all white kit with a Amber stripe going diagonally across the front simular to what crystal Palace have had on their kits. Maybe put the brain in gear next time before commenting.

I dont think he was being sarcastic. Think this may have been a misinterpretation of his comment
 
All amber away kit seems wrong. Especially when amber shirt, black shorts and amber socks is what we’ve commonly had as a home kit.

I was actually hoping for an amber shirt with pinstripes for the home kit this season similar to the 09/10 shirt or the 1982 one.
