dakid007 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have brought my son a villa top from Xmas with name on and the lettering has gone slightly red/pink is this normal or should I exchange it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2012 *bought But no I don't think that's normal. I'd give the shop a ring and ask them, but have you washed it? if so maybe the colours ran in the wash? If it's the latter, then I think whoever washed it is to blame unfortunately. If it's unwashed, then doesn't sound right to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If people are washing their football shirts on 60 friggin' degrees, it's no bloody wonder they're melting; bed linen and towels on 60°, whites on 50°, coloureds on 40° and delicates i.e. football shirts on 30° maximum, for the love of Ra!

Ghost Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I thought the macron man peeling off the shoulders was a good thing? Wasn't that everyone's issue with the tops in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.I.C.O. Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 My 1982 shirt can take all sorts of punishment. I even washed it on a 95 wash once by mistake and it still survived completely intact. The current season shirts by Macron look tacky, ill-fitting and cheap. Even the training wear looks dire and cobbled together - and the whole lot will be made redundant in six months time. Do yourselves a favour and get yourselves a retro shirt, they are timeless! If you are all so desperate to have a crappy sponsor on there, get the 1992/1993 Muller ones! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The macron shirts remind me of the hummel mkII shirts we had a few years back with all the chevrons falling off the sleeves etc. but some of the training gear looks not bad. Missus has purchased me the 1992 retro Villa shirt with the laces on the neck for xmas. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Agreed that at the moment, the 1981 season / 1982 euro ones are probably the best looking and best made offical gear you can get at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
