New Jersey defects

Post by davejohnston »

Just collected my new jersey today. Got it home and was annoyed to find a few defects on it (red stitch on part that should be white, and a few loose threads on each sleeve). Did I just happen to get a bad one, or has anyone else had problems with the quality of there jersey ? Needless to say I'll be returning it tomorrow.

actually funny you should mention it, the younger brother picked up a new home jersey, which looks the part and everything, but I noticed that the quality of the stitching on the neck was rubbish.. as it happens I think he was charged the supporter jersey price for the test shirt, so probably would be a bit rich to complain :D

I noticed that the (poly/)cotton replica shirt is very light material in comparison to previous shirts and even kukri's other cotton shirts (some of which I really like). Little more than a glorified T-shirt and def not worth the asking price.

Dave - are you suggesting that the entire population of the state have been soviet agents all this time?

Had a gander at one in store today, wont be buying. As BR says its too light, in fact so much so its see through. And i know the value of sponsors to the club but they seem to have super sized all the logos to the point its all a bit much.

Black/charcoal model looks nice.

My jersey from last year is pretty heavy. It must be the kohilo(?) one but Ive no idea what the other version is meant to be like.

Ill def take a closer look before buying the new one.

Prefer the lighter material personally. Hate the stiff Cotton/polyester of the previous Canterbury and Kukri shirts.

Black one looks good and should work nicely with stout and beer stains :thumleft:

If we don't have the stains down our white shirt, how will we know how many days we've been away? Recipe for missing flight home IMHO.

There's 3 versions of the white shirt.

There's the playing grade one which is skin tight, etc; there's the kohilololololo one which is a looser replica; and there's the polycotton 'supporters' version whis is the best material (IMHO), but this is so light, it's just a Tshirt really.

Aye, I heard she's signed up with TOWIE. But I was thinking more like Cynthia Murphy form Montclair.
