I prefer lextra or it's new name, Senscillia.

Because it is more durable than PU. PU is a very thin plastic layer.. it can be ruined easily. If you sit on a leather seat, be extra careful if you are wearing a football jersey with PU typed nameset printed on the back of the jersey you're wearing. I have friends who ruined their jerseys because of this, where the PU nameset will stick on to the leather seat.

Ironing can also ruin it, if you accidentally touched the top surface of the PU nameset with your iron. It will melt.

Lextra namesets can also be ruined too... it is sturdy and solid but if you mistakenly iron on stitched areas such as the 3 stripes on the jersey's sleeves (for previous adidas jerseys), there is a risk that it can cause the EPL patch to crack. Which is why adidas decided to produce jerseys with gaps near the areas where the patches sits on the sleeves... a good move by adidas.

But overall, lextra or senscillia namesets and patches are more favoured by jerseyman.

the last season Man Utd third kit (either BPL or UCL) using Lextra is it?

Nope. UCL namesets for the blue third and home kit last season was PU.

How about the white away from last year's roma final, what material is that?

Let me quote back what I said in page 81, post #1615 (Link: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/933093/+1615#):

It's velvet material.

i see, how about reliability of the velvet material? is it as bad as PU?

Since it's velvet.. it should be better than PU.

It's thinner than lextra but it's a better material than PU.

man, i hate PU NNs, i got one rooney home 07/08 euro, after a few wash, the glue tercabut already and really not comfortable to wear when driving or sitting in the cinema.

so the new senscilia is basicly the new name for lextra. no difference at all ?

i've done my printing (EVRA#3) in La Vanita, Singapore, it cost me SG$2.50 per letter, SG$10 per number, SG$20 pair of 07/08 EPL champions badge, SG$5 printing fee, so total up is SG$45 (RM109.80 if SG$1 = RM2.44)....

There is one difference.

Previously all lextra typed nameset or patches has a thin plastic protective film on top of it.

Now, for senscillia nameset/patches, the plastic protective film is no longer there. Good example would be the CWC patch.

why does all EVRA NNs have this extra space in between the EVR and the A?

u mean all ppl do oso like that, or jus mine only?

i think its just yours. i'm sorry

Not really. I've seen Evra himself with the spaced EVR A jersey. It's quite inconsistent.

To be precise.. the letters should be a bit closer because the nameset of the man united jerseys are all pre-arranged.. which means they all come in sets like the blue namesets last season... even for the white ones.

So Albert Morgan just applies them easily... they all come in sets, so the arrangement should be close between the letters.

Only for certain unique names like MACHEDA, I saw last season where clearly it was a pre-customized letters + numbers, not the usual namesets that comes in sets.... since MACHEDA was a new player and a new nameset.

Look closely at the jerseys actually worn by the man united players, they all are arranged closely.

This is a different case for other teams... like Portsmouth and Liverpool, I can see the letters have gaps.. It's the best to check first by looking at the photos (such as from getty images) to see how a particular nameset is applied. Sometimes even a titsy bitsy small detail can be a hassle. Example:

How do you arrange the dot '.' in the J.S.Park nameset? Is the dot placed middle or closer to the letters on the left?

Which is why I prefer to DIY my namesets myself. Not only it saves cost but also it is from my own personal satisfaction.

Anyway no need to worry so much on the EVRA thingy.. No worries, as long as it is authentic, no problem!

jerseyman nice info you have there, can we pay you to DIY our jerseys? hehehe just joking

anyway, im ok with that, as long as is authentic one...

too bad i not really dare to DIY NNs by myself, i scare i ruin it, so i jus send for printing by other experts

next one will be the OWEN#7 on 09/10 home jersey, but have to see got enuff budget anot

Hehehe..

People have been asking me this, saying that I can make money out of it..

But to be honest, not sure if you guys would be interested with my methods...

I do my work on the floor, I use masking tape, I use a DIY template (I know some 'otais' make fun out of my template, including the previous method of using my songkok's casing cap) and I use a small handy iron (not a big bulky machine) to do my work.

I'll share with you guys my latest work.. just for useful info (not showing off.. because anyone can do it and there's no secret on doing it).


You can learn.. it's not that hard.. trust me.

The likes of pyroboy1911 who was a newbie once, then later learned how to do it and now can do his own DIY NNs.. is a good example. I don't want to be the master alone, would love to see you guys be an expert as well...

Hmmm... i might have to inspect the letter before they iron it on my jersey, i'm getting Evra's NN on my jersey too (for economic reason - RM59 only, and because he's such a cool dude... not to mention 1 heck of a left back).
