Just been to get a unsponsored one from the shop. Shop guy seemed very coy when I asked. Only had 3 mediums left (or at least that’s what I was told) and all had the marks on I’ve previously mentioned. Feel like there’s only me spotting them as nobody else is mentioning it. Shop are deffo aware of it though but still selling them and I assume just hoping people don’t notice it - which it seems is exactly what’s happening. 🤷‍♂️

Are they marks that will wash out?
Are they just on the sponsorless shirts or the full fat ones?

No. It’s “sublimation bleed” from when the sash is printed on to the white fabric during production. It’ll wash out just as much as the sash itself will to give a clearer indication. They are essentially faulty and are still for sale despite the shop knowing about it.

At first I thought it would only be the sponsored ones as the bleed can occur when the sponsor is applied. The protective sheet - placed over the sponsor when applied - picks up a little ink from the sash. When that same sheet is used on the next shirt that ink then transfers to the next shirt.

But it was on the unsponsored ones too so it’s happening in the adidas production factory. (Sponsors are applied by a third party - usually a company called Infinity in Leeds).
