Bofore I start, please don't give me a kicking over this, it;s my opinion......................................or have I got this completely wrong

 

 

When I shut my eyes and try to envisage a footbal top with over 8000 names on it, I don't get a "WOW" image in my head, I mean come on, what is this going to looklike? 

 

I get images of an explosion in an alphabetti Spaghetti factory...............

If the font/size of print is to big, then the background colour of the original top will mostly dissapear under the weight of 8000+ names, unless the names are small.  Are the names Embroidered on or is it the iron on type, whos name goes directly under/above the badge and, who will find themselves under the arm pit :sunny:

 

I subscribe everymonth so my name will be there "somewhere" LOL. 

 

Initially sounded like a good idea (and may yet prove to be).  Very flattered to be given somthing back but was not expecting anything.

Its not really about your name being in lights and for all to see every time we wear it on TV haha!!

 

Its just a nice gesture from the club and a nice keepsake for the fans.  Your name will be on there no matter how big or small and you will know where it is and can point it out to your granchildren etc in 30 years who can still support the club you loved because of THIS moment and what collectively all the fans on the strip....and many many not on it....achieved in our clubs darkest hours.

You are more likely to get a 'kicking' for the random use of the word 'LOL' which is irritating unless you are under 12, and is used after a sentence that i'm not sure how it will cause laughter. 

 

For what it's worth I think it's a great idea and what would make me 'LOL' as you say is the idea of someone embroidering 8,000 names on a football strip.

It's a gesture, you don't have to buy it.

 

I'll be delighted, even if my name's in tiny letters, cupping the balls on the shorts

My name better be around the badge or I'll be on here for a seethe.  :laugh:

 

I assume due to manufacturing limitations that each strip will be different.  

 

I predict big queue at the club store with guys taking taking 18 strips in to the changing room to see which has has their name best placed! :lol:

 

 

(thats my plan anyway.)

The manufacturers will not embroider several thousand names onto individual t shirts! Do you know how much that would cost?

It'll be done by sublimation printing, nothing else makes sense

No idea on the process, but I'm just thinking of what the weight would be of shirt with 8000 names embroider on it.

I beleive when you order you can ask for your name to be in bold so it can be easily spotted unless your under the armpit in which case i will have to walk around auld reekie with one arm raised.

For those needing to be sure their name is prominent :- just get a label like you had on your clothes in P1 and sew it on under the badge no one will notice your handywork otherwise

It's not a good idea. The last team to try this had a high volume of returns. Apparently everyone was annoyed because theirs had a crack in it.

I must admit I find the concept pretty underwhelming but I am glad others like it and I hope the club makes a decent wodge from it.

 

One thing the club will have to careful with is the ordering/pre-ordering process, especially after running out of shirts barely half way through this season. The levels of seethe if people can't get hold of one will set new records.

I think the way they've been talking about it there'll be an order period for people to well, order. Then they'll know how many to run off and then do a few hundred extra to sell in the shop. Going to be Christmas time they're ready wasn't it, so wonder if they're taking money up front for the order six months before you get it?
