Reebok is still awesome for our jersey.
Reds is the sacred colour before this world was born.

It's not a sticker it's just printed on, and I don't think it can peal off as some think.

The badge and sponsor are basically printed on, it's not a bad idea as far as the Carlsberg bit is concerend as it tend's to fade quickly in it's previous ( and current home shirt ) state. On my home shirt, which I wear no more than twice a week, my Carlsberg logo turned like a dirty white colour around the edge's, it  me off to say the least. I think the new printed method will last much longer, however, it could eventually crack and peel off.


I have the same problem. I have a small stain on the Carlsberg logo and I can't get it off.

I spilt Red wine on one of my old shirts and I could NEVER get the red stain out of the logo

I looked at the shirt tonight, I won't be buying it cos it looks cheap, I'll just get the home one cos it will be going cheap anyway.

If it's the same stuff as the name and number transfer, don't buy it. I bought the current home shirt, and the previous one (when we had that one!) and on both it's all but worn away. Cheap tack. Just get the shirts, no names on the back.

Honestly I was hoping Adidas would be our kit supplier because Reebok suck. But they are going to keep the brand name to compete against Nike in the U.S.

Shame.

If you look at the Adidas official (player issue) national team shirts, eg Argentina and France, you will notice that the badges are not embroidered, but ironed on.

Like mentioned earlier, the iron on is much more comfortable because it doesn't itch.

I wear my LFC shirts whenever there is a match so that people know about my club. But wearing the same red color (I have two) every week on the same day makes it seem that I only have one shirt. With the white one, I will be able to alternate now. Hahaha.

If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, I would buy the white one. Much better than the yellows of last year.

And if I have one complaint about the shirts is that they get little nicks on them too easily so I have to be real careful what I rub up against.
Mourinho was customizing his flashy blue racing car -- applying the finishing touches of go-faster stripes, aerodynamic spoilers and a fat f@ck you exhaust -- while on his red car, Benitez was trying to glue together a broken chassis, repair bodywork and replace burst tyres.

I have just got my new away shirt this morning and i am disgusted that the shirt has a Sticker as a badge ffs, where is the embroided Liverpool Crest, anyone else agree the quality of these £40 Reebok shirts are getting worse ..... ???

We all know they cost very little to make but surely removing the Embroided crest is just another way of cutting cost !!!

I got mine in the post yesterday morning, and I agree. I stickers are a disgrace.
I buy the away strip every season and the home every 2 years. The design is good but the stickers are terribly.

DONOT IRON ON THE GOOD.
