Zatman Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Easily the worst kit supplier out there. Cheap and nasty, only fit for Championship teams. Which funnily enough is where we're heading under the amazing stewardship of Randy Lerner. like Napoli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Being the neanderthal that i am, my better half does my washing for me, she assures me she's been washing it at 30 degrees and also inside out. I just hope they allow me to exchange it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The only labels that are peeling on my shirt are the Macron men. The Genting logo is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's a simple enough fix for transfers peeling off football shirts, incidentally. The adhesive is heat-activated so lay the shirt flat, place a piece of clean paper over the transfer in question, set your iron somewhere between low to medium (maybe start with a lower heat then go gradually warmer if it's not sticking, but as a rule don't go higher than medium) with no steam, press the iron onto the paper and hold for 20-30 seconds then lift the paper and check the transfer. Repeat until fixed. Trust me. I'm a domestic goddess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Or Lazio? Or Braga? Or Alkmaar? Or Betis? You're right of course. They also supply a host of non league shite like Falmouth, Maidstone and Lincoln Ladies, and they're not Premier League either. As I said, the crappiest, cheapest and nastiest kit supplier out there, and to think we gave up Nike to go with them. Another f#ck up in a long line of f#ck ups from Mr. Lerner. Onwards and downwards to the Championship we go.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 And Nike supply Kaiser Wessex's kits. They play in my local Sunday League. No they don't. They buy their kits off the shelf and stick their badge on it. That's a big difference from being a kit supplier like Macron are for a host of shit teams.

avfc1982 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Lazio, Braga, AZ and Betis are shit? Macron are an Italian firm so it's only natural they talked one or two of their clubs into a deal. Other than that though the vast majority of their clients are small time outfits in the lower leagues and a host of non league clubs too. It's not surprising when you see the poor designs and cheap material that looks like a monkey stitched together. Everything at our club these days seems to be geared towards the Championship.

And I don't for one minute believe Macron are paying us more than Nike did. It wouldn't be the first little white lie the club has told us over the last few years.

It wouldn't be the first little white lie the club has told us over the last few years. Out of curiousity, in what capacity are you opining this? Have you experience as a tailor, perhaps? If so, what improvements would you suggest Macron should be making? Tighter weaves? More intricate stitching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted November 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2012 I refuse to believe that we aren't currently in the top four. Everything else is lies. Anyway, I haven't got a shirt this year. So, for that reason, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
