If any of u guys are watching the Qatar v Japan Asian Cup QF match, sharp eyed ones will notice occasional times camera shows Qatar players whose Asian Cup patch isnt on their sleeves. At least 1 player i saw without the otherwise obvious brown+orange color on the sleeve. Check out the no16 guy.
The fact is, part of the patch fell off, leaving just the shiny base. If you see the 2nd pic properly, you can still see part of the player's sleeve is shiny. The reason is because, for the 2011 Asian Cup Patch sets, they are made to be similar to the "Lextra 3D" technology, much like the UCL badge (shiny base with another fibre layer to create a 3D effect). Unfortunately the quality is not good coz its not SportingID product (as we all know, recent SportingID products would be without plastic backings and the Asian Cup patches is with plastic).
When applying using normal house iron, 2 dot isnt enough. It is enough for the base to stick, but not the 2nd layer on top. I gotta increase heat and cover with cloth otherwise my shirt will be burnt. This would explain why the colour layer on the player's shirt fell off but only left the shiny base. So if any of you bought the patch to DIY from SoccerAuthentics or any other Singapore shop or anywhere actually (I say Singapore because on the packaging of the patch sets is the
PSI sticker for temperature/pressure etc) make sure to be careful with the temperature setting.
