Looks like ink/colour residue from the heat press plate. I'm surprised as ACE usually do impeccable printing.

Apparently. there are some complaints on the patch not adhering to the rubber stripe on Arsenal PI shirt. Subside Sports went as far as refusing to press them on:

btw, what size is the shirt?

The guideline flyer given by SportingID to press operator for Man Utd home shirt last season, suggested the patch placement exactly like the one on the Arshavin's sleeve in the pic.

Personallly, I like to refer to match photos like this example instead of a studio shoot, the latter sometimes photoshopped for website and official club photos.

The odd placement on the WBA shirt was probably due to time constraint, where sometimes the presser irons the patch with the shirt laying flat instead of alligning the patch based on the sleeve's centre crease.

Like schmeichel7 mentioned, it's very subjective not to mention the labour's still done by hand so do expect inconsistency and imperfect results.

It's confirmed. New sponsors for QPR 2011/12, as expected MAS & AirAsia...

Currently, I'm looking for these 'model-worn jerseys'
