Yobocop 1,099 Posted August 1, 2011 2 issues for me:1) a personal issue, the XARA shirts never needed ironing, yet it appears the Errea one does, but then I didn''t think you could iron football shirts? 2) a player issue - I''ve noticed on most of the preseason game pictures the players have made a cut into the V neck, if its uncomfortable for them, please re-design it?

Harry 0 Posted August 1, 2011 As we only have the shirt for one season I can''t see anything being done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted August 1, 2011 1) a personal issue, the XARA shirts never needed ironing, yet it appears the Errea one does, but then I didn''t think you could iron football shirts?How dare you swear on here Peas! You used the ''i'' word [:O]Have to say that''s an interesting observation about the players making a cut, unless it''s a fashion thing; remember the 80''s and jeans being cut at the seams at the bottom of the leg anyone....

Ruddygore 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Re. washing - I have washed a lot of Errea kit, you can machine-wash on a 40 degree setting (cooler probably if you want, yours won''t be covered with mud!). You can tumble-dry it too, on a cool setting for about half an hour. Dry it as a single item in the dryer to avoid creases. Then just hang it up when it''s still warm. We had number transfers on the shirts and this didn''t affect them at all, even after a lot of washes. Don''t iron it, the material is completely synthetic and wouldn''t take kindly to an iron, I would have thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted August 1, 2011 It also stinks at the slightest bead of sweat.However it''s actually a really nice shirt. Top marks Errea - especially with the Premiership sleeve patches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieFarlie 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Hi WITS The jeans thing was a Football casuals thing , as jeans were quite tight legged in the 80’s and the fashion amongst Hooligan casuals was to wear very expensive and quite large tennis shoes they would insert a cut about 4 inches up each seam which allowed the jeans go over the trainers ! Showing my age and past there ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted August 1, 2011 I agree about the collar being tight (and therefore annoying)Why they went for this design over the old ''rounded'' collar I can''t understand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted August 1, 2011 From the first time I saw it, the collar on the home shirt has always struck me as being a wee bit too high on the neck. It almost looks like they''re going for a sort of turtleneck approach in what I think is an effort to sporty-up a normal V-neck.http://www.pinkun.com/polopoly_fs/slideshow_32_1_979032!image/2930204933.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_490/2930204933.jpgBrad Johnson is the only player I''ve really noticed doing this, and he''s quite a well-built chap so it may not be that much of an issue for others. Still think it would be better if we just cut off the white trim though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted August 1, 2011 Maybe the manufacturer forgot to factor-in one key point; our players are now Premiership-calibre - in some cases their heads may have grown a bit since last season!... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupethebear 0 Posted August 1, 2011 The neck is too tight, hence why I didn''t buy the shirt after trying it on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Horse 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Bought the away kit instead of home purely because the neck was far too tight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cappsy 0 Posted August 1, 2011 neck loosens up after a few wears and washes. There is also a little trick that you can do which is stretching it multiple times to loosen it up. its not a wooden V neck. and yes, the season really does need to start.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rupethebear 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks for the tip Mrs T.Can''t help thinking though for a £40 quid top it should have been designed to fit!!! Perhaps this can be addressed when they make a second batch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted August 1, 2011 The White away kit had a ridiculously tight neck fitting that I couldn''t get my head through it in a standard size! Perhaps that''s just because I have a big head...is this home kit any worse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
