Nothing beats the wrath of an angry wife.

What if jerseyman only buy for collection, nvr wear it, wife also not allow?

I never buy jersey for collection only. I ALWAYS wear them.

Which is why I need to know how to maintain them... but trust me, so far I've manage to keep them. I have a jersey that was bought 10 years ago (1998) and the NNs are still ok. I remember back in 1998, when I took a bus from Ipoh to KL (plusliner), walked from pudu to BB plaza. Went to ali and had the NNs and patches printed and then back to ipoh. My first and second ever jersey...

And they still survived today.

My tip is always to wear them and don't keep them stuck in your cupboard. Wash them at least once every quarter (3-4 months) or possible. Use the guide I posted on page 1 on how to iron them after you have washed them.

The lextra NNs might turn yellowish.... that's normal but as long as they are solid, then that's good.

Yea right, bought then must wear,


Ckimy Bro, got listen anot? Dont buy jersey then put into wardrobe only, MUST WEAR...

Ipoh - Pudu - walk to BB Plaza - Pudu - Ipoh within the same day...

my idol... u can purposely come down KL for only NNs printing then back...

but walk from Pudu to BB Plaza seems like quite far away leh.... -.-"

y u say me like that... T_T

i will wear when we meet up

Haiya, no need to call me idol la...

No la.. not far... BB plaza and pudu bus station is just a few km only.. 10-15 minutes of walking distance.

That was the day when I had to work myself (took part time job at KFC) after SPM and then took the effort and hassle to have my jersey printed with EPL NNs.

My advice to everyone... the PU NNs can last a lifetime if you know how to maintain them...... Many things must be learned such as do not lean on a leather type chair or car seat, try not to wash your jersey and then hang it beneath the sun, keep your jersey outside the cupboard so there is air ventilation, don't leave your jersey being idle only and so and so...

haha takut bini

anyways, i've seen someone around hartamas area wearing 07/09 manchester united home kit. and his kit is sponsor less. without the rectangle box and the aig letters. i've seen it close enough and i didnt see any black mark or left over on the jersey. any idea how did he do it?

Most probably a PI or a fake? There are definitely a few sponsorless PIs lurking around ebay once in a while.

haha... ada sebab kenapa kadang2 kene takut bini tu... nanti dah kahwin ko tau la...

i wore jersey with PU NNs and lean on car seat (leather), when got up, then got sound come out from NNs there, macam the NNs gonna peel off... so scary.... -.-"

argh... keep jersey outside cupboard o... i always put inside cupboard with thirsty hippo (the thirsty hippo is my gf put one)

Wah, then at that time, jersey how much each and also the nns?

Back then... Original jerseys were RM169.90 only.. except for umbro jerseys, they were RM199.90. Long sleeved were super rare.

Price of namesets were not so much difference... RM6 per letter and RM30 per number. If I recall la...

I miss the 90s.

Hahaha.. wise words.. Jersey jersey la... but mesti sayang isteri. Hahahahahaha...

Yaya, must make it balance.....you get your hobby (jersey collecting) but also there is your family (wife or gf)......

Really? looked like there is effect of inflation......

Anyone saw any Real Madrid 09/10 home jersey? I've been told that it's sold out in KL. If anyone seen/selling it, mind PM me?

My jersey is plain 1, after wash also got to iron it? If after wash, i just hang it inside my room, like that can anot? Thanks,

Think should be no problem if using hand somemore there is plain....
For ironing the jersey, think the purpose is to let your jersey especially the sponsor logo look nice and smooth when wearing on your body..
But there are procedures & skills for ironing...dont missed out!!

Yea, i think of this way too. Thanks for ur info, i feel plain kit more easy to take care,


If i wan to iron my kit, will bring it down to jerseyman's house, ask him teach me,

How much u charge, tai ko

Go to al-ikhsan bangi. I saw the home kit there still being sold. It's at Bandar Baru Bangi (Seksyen 8)

I wash, spin dry and iron all my jerseys... plain or not plain.

The key here is, when you iron it.. it not only dries and makes the jersey's surface clean and cease free... but it prolongs the material's lifespan.

Leaving it hanged inside the room might be ok, but the removal of moisture is not as quick and as perfect as ironing it.. besides you might leave the jersey damp longer... and this effects the glue of the printed sponsors (even if the jersey is plain).

I've already compiled a guide on page 1 on how iron your jersey. To view it again, I pasted it below:



Maybe I am wrong on all this.. ironing jerseys after you wash and spin dry it, might not be a good practice.. But that's what I do and that is my secret on maintaining my jersey's lifespan from my collection.... So far my 10+ year old jerseys are still in good condition...

sigh...still cant find my BOH 5!!!



my jersey still not complete w/o BOH 5 + Respect patch
