To schmeichel7 or anyone who has some expertise in football shirts:

When you buy a new shirt, let say a red coloured one, do you wash it first before wear/placing numbers&names? I bought my Liverpool red shirt and after a few wears the red colour runs into the white NNs. Now it looked pinkish. Any idea how to solve the problem?

sorry off topic a bit
for those who went to al-ikhsan recently..do they have the man utd past season jersey...the 2003-2004 season...the red nike vodafone with black line..M size...
and also..do they have this season champion EPL pathes and NN for scholes 18?
thanks:)

No.. it is not necessary to wash the kit before applying the NNs. This is normal because red colour seems to transfer to NNs in the past especially for old kits. Is this an old kit?

To remove it.. is very very tricky.. I once tried to put some clorox on the NNs but it can ruin the jersey as well.. My advice, just let it be...

Added on August 3, 2007, 10:34 pmThe red nike vodafone with black line is the first ever Man United Nike jersey. It was once sold new but I remembered was XXL. So they might be out of stock. The other way to get it is to buy via ebay.

It's the new one. Surprised to see the colour goes off easily. It still does now when I checked the Carlsberg logo has some red dots on it. Anyway I'll try with my own solution later. Thanks anyway.

schmeichel7 or anyone..do u know how to remove name and numbering especially N&N made by adidas(not lextra)...someone told me that i can use acetone or something like tinner or mcm finger nail punye polish...have u ever tried? or do u know any chemical i can use..gune tinner cat tu boleh ke?

U mean the new adidas one? Wahh.. this is bad man..

I do have these kind of bad experiences especially for the old red umbro kits. If you see photos of my collection:





Notice the CANTONA 7 words especially the number 7 having the print of the old trafford image. The EPL champions badges also looks very pinkish.



The number 7 also has pinkish colours

Added on August 3, 2007, 11:58 pmWhy do you want to remove the adidas names? It is possible but again.. very very hard. Don't use thinner because you will ruin the jersey. THe jersey's colour and material... will be ruined.

It can be removed but there is a big chance that it will ruin your jersey.

that one? maybe got, as I posted some while back that they do have stock. but dunno what size still got. will check out the next time i'm there!

as for this season's Champions Patch and NN for Scholes 18, what i know is that they have restocked. but from what i can gather about the number of Man U fans in KL, better get your kit done fast! if not, go and buy the NNs and patches first, then only apply later. esp those who wants to get the away kit as well....

Added on August 4, 2007, 2:09 amyup. noticed that as well. Al-Ikhsan had some hanging as samples and the colour from the 2nd jersey transferred to the NN on the back of the 1st one! i think it's the Red of the shirt.

my Chelsea kit is still fine though, no colour runs as yet. one advise is maybe don't wear the jersey too many times, or straight away dry in the sun when it's washed, but not too long though. some of the sponsor transfers may crack under prolonged stays under the sun.

Added on August 4, 2007, 2:11 amhaven't tried before, and don't think i wanna experiment. i agree that it's POSSIBLE (anything is actually) but very difficult to NOT ruin your shirt as well.

thinner? don't even think about it mate. very strong substance. i dare not even use bleach to wash jerseys man, let alone apply thinner voluntarily...

sigh i never did ask about the availability of those patches..
all im asking it will manutd be USING it in the forthcoming season? because AFAIK i never did see chelsea having a gold patch last season or is this the first season .. i only notice the Serie A using the Italian flag for previous-season champions

Chelsea never had a gold lion patch like United used to. But their patch was a blue lion (2 layer as well, but the 2nd layer is in navy blue colour) Anyway here's the revolution of the EPL champions badges:

1. 1992-1993
Introduction to the EPL. Previous season when EPL was first formed, all teams wore the EPL badges with navy blue lion, even Leeds United who were the reigning league champions.

Who worn it: Manchester United



2. 1993-2002
Chris Kay produced and introduced the technology called LEXTRA which produces very nice and high detailed velvet typed patches. First time the EPL champions badges were made using LEXTRA with dual layer (bottom layer is a swen material which has yellow gold colours)

Who worn it: Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal



3. 2003-2004
Barclays started to appear as sponsors of EPL on to the badges. They displayed their Barclaycard name on to it:

Who worn it: Manchester United



4. 2004-2007
A new shape of the badge where previously it was a triangular shaped designed but now it is more like a shield. Dual layer is used by the 2nd layer is not yellow gold like previous blue navy. The lion's crown is in gold colour (where previous it was red) and the outline of the badge is gold.

Who worn it: Arsenal, Chelsea



5. 2007-2008
After it's centenary 10 years since it standardized the EPL naming, numbering and patches, EPL has introduced a new design to the lion. New design now has the badge surrounded by dark gold 2nd layer.

Who will wear it: Manchester United



Hope this clearly clears your matter....

Anyways, that black jersey with the red lining is confirmed to be our away jersey. Has the same tail on the back that our red home jersey has except the tail is red in colour. The lads are wearing it against Doncaster Rovers.

Quite alrite the design on the Man utd away kit!

I like this season kits more than previous one

damn i had a busy day yesterday, anyway i have decided not to wait for the badges to arrive at real one...i think i will collect the jersey today and maybe buy the badges from al-ikhsan and ask real one to apply on it for me...

the champions patch already available?
and got 18 scholes nameset in both real one and al-ikhsan?
i want to buy NN first and later apply to the away jersey

ApeKG, just came back from al-ikhsan....
they have scholes and the patches too....so better hurry...
when i was there....already 3 people doing the patches on theier man utd kit

Damn, the away kit looks a lot nicer to apply the EPL champions badge and EPL fonts.
I think i'll go with the away kit, and maybe the home kit with champions league configuration.

confirm the away kit will be using white fonts?
not gold or other color?

wudda hell they need to put the little stripes at the back ? damn fugly !

i saw the video from footbollocks.net....
they are using white....
