Ordered shirt online and it arrived today with felt name and number. Happy with that, just wondering why shop is using cheap plastic lettering etc if the online orders don't?

Anyway like the kit, badge isn't printed on either like some have said previously. It's like last seasons badge. Sewn on material badge. Wondering why some kits are sold in different spec????
In theory if you take a shirt to be printed at an AFC club shop they would print with the same names and numbers worn by the players. This used to be felt until the 2013/14 season when it changed to "PS Pro", which is a slightly better quality vinyl than the vinyl printing that you'd get if it was done at somewhere like Sports Direct.

I guess your online order has ended up with felt if they were getting rid of old stock? But technically felt isn't used anymore by the players, I'm surprised your order seems to have slipped the net.

To be honest I am happy I got the felt lettering, don't know why I have it but I do. Looks better IMO. Gave it it's first wearing today, love the kit. Surprising cos I hate puma and was not impressed they were gonna be making our kits.

Yeah I can see where you're coming from there, when the new ps pro printing came out it was mainly as a cost cutting exercise from what I gather. I prefer the felt as well. Which shirt did you buy?

Is this real for next season? It's so bad it may become a cult classic like the vomit kit.

Ditto. One of my favourites, the old squashed wasp kit.

Had to LOL, took the misses to the match on Sat and she (Seriously) wondered why all the fans were suppoorting Emirates with that on their shirts and not AFC

beautiful in an ironic way. seeing it casts the mind back to wrighty, rocastle and limpar tearing it up 20 odd years ago.

however it is vastly uglier than any abomination nike came out with for us, even that fucking purple and balck number beats it hands down

Funny enough mate the only time wright rocastle and Limpar all played together in the bruised banana kit was on wrights debut when he scored the hat trick at Southampton in a 4-0 win in 91/92
No wonder it holds a place in your affection

You have obviously suffered some form of traumatic head injury.
