Which I prefer TBH. So if you wanted a looser fit, you'd need a size up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say it, but this season from start to finish has been a total fiasco and is memorable for all the wrong reasons. It's nothing short of a disgrace when the highlight of our 150th anniversary season turns out to be the "Cakeball" thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal M Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ordered the Bukta style shirt at the weekend. Not even an email yet to confirm it’s been mailed. And they are STILL charging VAT on orders from outside the EU. Not the happiest “customer” at the moment. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.

Really? !! I bought the Bukta "Mcculloch Tartan kit" last year one each for me n the lad and they were smashing fits Sorry to hear this .. mind you the collar is different on ours to yours and was easy to slip my "Big Yorkshire Head" through the neck !!

Such an utterly bizarre and strange attempt to defend this one You know what? As a club we try to do many positive things and achieve them On the flip side we sometimes try and don't quite succeed. But then there's times where it would be easy to get things right, we don't, we cut corners and it becomes something that should be pushed back loud and clear that it's just not good enough. To have fans trying to defend to other fans that a replica shirt on sale shouldn't be expected to look anything like the original is utterly utterly bizarre. Not just that but it's wrong We shouldn't put up with the club shop doing stuff like this and should feedback that it's not good enough. That way it can be improved.

I think you will see I said if you don't like it - don't buy it, in fact I wouldn't buy it myself. The point I was trying to make is that the club have never tried to pass this shirt off as a replica and funnily enough the people who have bought it seem to be happy with it. Can't really understand your change of stance on the shirt after your post last Friday showing the shop's illustration and the message "Well done Sheffield Wednesday FC - this is bang on and the prices are fantastic.

The shirt you posted was the shirt from 1991/92 that had Mr Tom printed on I believe. The 'retro' shirts are terrible. I thought they'd be brilliant. In my opinion, the retro shirts appeal to me WAY more than a current replica one would. I regularly don the 92/93 away shirt to games, the yellow and black one. I wouldn't dream of wearing a current one. Would have bought the 2 from the early 90's as they were the first kits my parents bought me. Not a prayer would I buy one of these. I guarantee they would have sold a bucket load if they'd have just take a bit of care over it. The home shirt from the early 90's just looks a blue and white shirt that someones been decorating their living room in. These shirts are both the same The 1st shirt is the 1989-1991 home shirt which asda sponsored for the final only, and is a player issue shirt, the other shirt is the offical replica shirt available at the time. the 1991-1993 had a few changes (see pic).

Rodger Wylde II Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 They all look like knock off shirts. Poor quality knock off. Would it have been really that difficult to put the badge in the middle of the stripe?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
