Here I come to save the day....

Dude..

You can try glue back the strip by looking for something called 'fabric glue'.

Do not.. I repeat.. do not, use gam gajah. Because this is PU and is too delicate for gam gajah.. It will melt, trust me, if you use gam gajah.

If the material was felt/velvet/lextra or foam embossed, can use gam gajah.. but this is PU material...

So you must use fabric glue.. actually fabric glue is safer to use compared to gam gajah but gam gajah is very good and strong (robust, even if you wash the jersey.. glue still intact) but it cannot be used for the white stripe because the white stripe's material is PU and gam gajah is super strong (contains acid) and it will melt it.. trust me.

Where to find one? Look at stationary shops, carrefour/giant/tesco/cold storage etc etc.. this is the fun of DIY jersey.

Anyway to give you a good jump start, you can look for this product:

Bostik GluStik is a product from australia. It is a glue stick that can be used to glue fabric. And good thing is, it is washable..

More info on Bostik GluStik: http://www.bostik.com.au/browse.php?cat=Stationery



Another article about it: http://www.aussiescrapbooking.com.au/artic...ik-is-acid-free

And as mentioned in the article, it is:

* Safe
* No-Toxic
* ACID FREE
* Washable

I saw one at Giant.. dunno if still got or not. You can help us (since I have helped you here) to go and look for it.. take photo please, like someone here before who took the Staindevils photo at Cold Storage. You help us and we will help you.

So try looking for it (or something similar..). Then.. try applying the white stripe with the glue and then.. press it on the jersey.

Then.. cover it with a cloth or plastic cover.. then iron on it (gently press) for 5 seconds.. Be careful since you're ironing something that is delicate (PU material) so don't over iron.

Then, terbalikkan your jersey (inside out) and then iron again beneath the area where you glued the PU white stripe. Press gently (not too firm) again to ensure the glue bonds very well...

Leave it for one day.

Good luck mate.

Jerseyman.

p/s: can I use your photo as one of the guides I write? to remind newbies never wash your jerseys using washing machines.. better wash by hands..

See, that's why I asked here, because I know somebody will always come to save the day.
Thanks alot bro, really appreciate it. I'll try to look around KLCC (since im around there) whenever I got the time. And i'll inform you guys the availability of that product.
Yes, you can use that photo. Just my small contribution to the community.

Edit:
You know what, right after I sent my reply, I look around on my messy table. Hiding behind some maps, I saw this stuff:

Couldnt believe the solution is right under my nose!!
Thanks again bro!

Ahah.. your lucky day today...

Later try and use it to bond back the white stripe back.. be careful when you do it.. don't overheat and ruin the white stripe.. make sure you put the glue smoothly on the layer of the white stripe.

erm.. i tried this some time ago .. but i din try to iron it after i glue it, but should try it later. so i end up buying this double sided piece of sticky abric where u can iron on to stick the sticker..

I'm letting go some non-united jerseys from my personal collection..

If you guys are interested, here is my garage sales thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1028665

Wahh.. fyrekat from using hot babes as his avatar has now placed Gerrard's photo as his avatar..

Hahaha..

Wrong, I'm just showing off the new kit! Find me a hot babe in that kit and my avatar will change faster than you can say 'schlong!'

ill try to ask around if someone can photochop some hot babe for that

Wah, if can...

Technically I wasn't wrong because that is just what you did...

wow the new Liverpool jersey does look good lol

Liverpool away looks pretty awesome.

I'll prolly get one with Alonso, to replace my spoilt one.

guys confirmed edi united wearing the away kit for the ucl final?

shud b. barca is the home team, obviously we can't wear the red and blue kit. white it is.

But i guess it would be better if barca use yellow. btw, how do they pick who's is home or away ?

pretty sweet jersey IMO. can't wait to get my hands on them.

Based from the arrangement of the earlier UCL knock out phase draw...

Since in the final itself, it is mentioned as "Barcelona vs Man United", not "Man United vs Barcelona"... remember the UCL quarter finals knock out draw? When a team is pulled out from the ballot draw... they are placed in group A and group B.. if not mistaken, A will be considered the home team in the finals....

Since Barca were in the group A (with Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern) while United were in group B (with Arsenal, Roma, Porto and so and so).. that is how it was arranged.. if United were in group A and went all along to the finals, they might be considered as the home team..

I am not 100% sure about this, but I remember hearing about it at espn show...

Even in wikipedia, they've already concluded that Barca will wear home and United will wear away:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_UEFA_Cha...ns_League_Final

But me being myself, I will not confirm 100% that's the case.. People were asking me, is it true that United will wear white?

2 things that will confirm it...

1. Public announcement from manutd.com, soccernet.com, etc etc
2. The final jersey being sold at kitbag (hopefully......)

Bear in mind, it has happened before in the finals, both teams wearing away kits. When United met Barca in the old Cup Winners Cup finals, both teams wore away kits (Barca with their light blue kit and united wore that special one off white away kit... only worn in that finals)... United and Benfica did that as well.. both wore their away kits (benfica with their white away and united with their one off all blue kit) in the 1968 finals...

So we shall wait and see.....

the teams can still decide what jersey they want to wear even tho they are home.
ac milan did that in 2007 against liverpool in the final where they opted to wear their away strip, even tho they were designated as the home team.
