Barney_avfc Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 1 minute ago, Eastie said: I think recon is only on the back of the new signings shirts when unveiled - don't see it being a permanent fixture as it's not on the shirts for sale or wasn't on the shirts in friendlies. Sorry Eastie, I edited my original post just as you were quoting me. Rongtian He has said that it it will actually feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may not be happy if they buy the shirt and it's different to the one the players wear - surely it should be the same as shirts purchased ? Surely that's the point of a replica shirt ?

His wording suggests it's only on the match shirts. That said he could mean it's on all shirts, but English not being his main language chose incorrect wording. We'll find out I guess once shirts land in fans hands at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought a shirt without a name and number it would look a bit odd with recon on it - the club shop have been taking orders and there's no recon on the back of those being sold ?

Like I said we won't know until they ship. His wording suggests it's the match shirts only which may be 100% the case - in which case we'll have to deal with it I guess..

Can't see them being able to change from the photos advertised to pre order as that is what you are buying. surely they couldn't change them after taking orders . A shirt with no name and number would be ruined by recon on it for some and for others it wouldn't be a replica if they have a name and number but no recon .

I've ordered the away one as the photos advertised have a plain black , I don't order name or number and if recon was added then it should be shown in the photos of the advertised shirts in my opinion as I wouldn't want it with recon on the back. i can not see any t&c regarding changing the pre ordered shirt on the website .

Indeed Although I'm pretty sure the shirts will be sold as seen in the shop photos which the t&c seem to confirm.

Jareth Posted July 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2017 The recon on Johnstone looks like the proper logo, Terry's was same font as the player name from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
