Don't get me wrong I do like the shirts, although very similar to the others. But does the fuel sell logo need to be so big. It wouldn't be as bad If they didn't peel after a few washes (and I don't over do my football tops) making the price tag very expensive for poor quality. I bought the yellow top last time, the logo is half hanging off and I refuse to wear it. It's either try and stick it back down or pull it off which ain't really an option.. So just left hanging in my wardrobe

I'm wondering how many people with buying the last home away and red top will invest in these? Maybe I just had a faulty shirt and nobody else has had this problem, either way I ain't sure yet whether I will purchase them straight away..

We used the same supplier Man Utd use for their logos on the shirts and you are the first we have heard where the Hevey logo came off, they were used all season on both home away and third kits and washed extensively and repeatedly and not one came off. The logos are tested to 80 degrees and are guaranteed at a 40 degree wash.

We were so pleased with how the logos performed for the last 2 seasons we went with the same ones again even though there were cheaper alternatives. It's a bit annoying to find out now that you had an issue and didn't raise it with anyone. In this instance please bring it back to the shop and we would gladly replace it for you.

I was referring to the fuel sell badge on the back rather than the Hevey one. I wouldn't wanted to have bought it back after owning it for several months. I'll probably just purchase another one soon

Ah right, ok well we did change the fuelsell this time as the sponsor wanted a different shape and i think you'll find this one much better, however just to reiterate we didn't have any come off any of the first team shirts for the last two seasons of those either.

Having already got the Red 3rd kit (which appears to be identical design to the new yellow) I will probably just be purchasing the new home shirt. I have last season's one and the quality is pretty good to be fair.

As for the price, it's pretty much going rate for replica shirts nowadays. At least with our club I'd like to think the club benefited greatly from the sale of the shirts!

So basically people stick your hands in your pocket and try and purchase one. And you can still wear it in 10 years time, as we all know that wearing retro football shirts is the in thing!

Unusual to see the away kit more expensive than the home but still reasonably priced. Looks decent.

Strange to see the black club crest on the yellow shirts. What was the thinking behind that?

We wanted to make it a little different, and there has been a trend recently with pro clubs making their badges on their away and third kits match the colour scheme of the kit and making them more of a single colour.

Great to see Sam back, and also to hear our new signings so confident, especially our strikers - fingers crossed their confidence transfers onto the pitch in performances and goals !
