Removing the sponsor off the Home Shirt. Anyone going to attempt it?

[WhiteHawk]

I don't think there's anything at all wrong with the sponsor on the front of the shirt.

Hopefully my sarcasm meter is reading accurately

 

[Bladesway]

That won't work. The white wine get's rid of the red wine. Have you never poured white on top of it if you spill red on your carpet? Seriously works.. That and salt

I find that cutting a similar section of the carpet from somewhere else in the room and patching it in works as well. Foolproof tip for free.

Can't believe people are moaning about the front, look at that shit on the back. It's blue and fucking white.

Anyway I think you can get the shirt without the blades badge simply plain and get a black badge printed on.

Indeed. Simply remove the badge from an inferior kit, sew to the new kit, and pay half the price. The neck and sleeves are ever so different, there are more stripes on the front, and the Adidas logo is a different colour, but over than that it looks quite smart really.

We may as well just design the kits we want and stick a United badge on. Would be timeless, given it is never actually a United kit.

I've got a spare 'HFS Loans' placard which fell off a shirt a few years ago if anyone wants to cover up the new one

I can't understand all the fuss about the sponsors, they're part of the shirt, get over it. It's a "replica"!! All you're doing by pulling them off is making it look like you bought a fake one.

You wouldn't but a Ferrari replica them leave Toyota MR2 wheels on it.

 

[mosbolad]

If you are very careful and use a very hot iron you can remove all the Adidas logos. I have replaced them with Sondico. So much more classy, my mate reckons.

You're not entering the spirit of this thread

 

[Small Mendonca]

Not particularly sure why people are creaming over this kit anyway, just because it's Adidas? There isn't enough stripes and the sponsor looks ridiculous and out of place. Thought the kits in 2011/12 and 2012/13 were both better than this one.

Brilliant. If you've got a R&W striped carpet (and who wouldn't) you could use the carpet to cover the logo on the shirt as well. Lovely and warm on those cold winter afternoons.
Or if you've cut out the carpet to cover the wine stain you've got the underlay going spare for the shirt. It'd look great with a massive underlay green blob instead of the logo.

Underlay, underlay!!

The actual brilliance of the system is it also works if you shit on the carpet by all accounts. Its the gift that just keeps on giving.

People said the stripes were too thin last season. Adidas have gone thick. In the new kit thread, someone is quoted as saying they're too thick.

You can never please everbody

Mine looks the business with Donnay on it

 

[BerksBlade]

Perhaps someone could work out a correlation between thickness of stripes and league position? My own theory is that we do better with thinner stripes, but happy to be proved wrong, as this is mainly based on the fact that when we had one big stripe we were really crap!

 

[Grecian2000]

Said same myself, but not on that thread.

Saw someone in Morrisons with the new shirt. Stripes looked way too thick. Bloke looked crap in it.
Still they had spring onions and cucumber both down to 49p so no worries.

But how had they removed the sponsors logo?

Funnily enough, they had a piece of that 70's "cinema carpet" (deep red with like a three feathers motif, you know the one) covering it up, that bit looked ace!

 

[cockneyblade]

On my shirt, I'm gonna rub some Brick Lane takeaway curry on the sponsors logo.

The stuff is like Napalm

Last season's stripes WERE too thin and this season's do seem a bit too thick. For me, five stripes on the front only looks good when there's the black stripe between them, like in the 2012/13 kit which is one of my all time favourites. Otherwise, it has to be seven on the front like in the 60s and most of the last decade.

I agree you'll never please everyone, that much is obvious.

the one we wore in the premiership when i first started watching them was very thin (the one that kid wears in batman begins)

I disagree. I like the thickness of the stripes this year, but they do need a black strip in between them.

 

[mulroeblade]

Fenerbahce have gone with no sponsor and with Adidas badge in middle have balanced kit out with turkey badge. Which is what we should of done. (New badge, Adidas badge, retro badge)

That's a Turkey badge.

is that what it's known as? The one before the lace up collar, my first ever football shirt.

Think its self titled by me. Always reminds me of an old skeggy deckchair.

I would not attempt it, I know the sponsor looks tacky, but adidas print transfers don't come off like a macron 1 would. I have had a few bits by adidas with print on transfers and they all still intact.all the training wear has the adidas logo stitched but the blades badge is printed on. completely stupid considering chelseas badge is stitched on. I really doubt it will come off so I don't mind forking out for training clobber. if it did come off the club will swap it no problems I was told in the shop
