Has anyone else got a large short sleeve home shirt, if so have any of you noticed your Genting logo is slighty off centre and on a bit of a slant?

If not, Im taking mine back as it looks like it was printed by a blind man.

Went to buy mine today from my local sports shop in Evesham. Saw it it the window and was instantly disappointed by the colours, looked like a Burnley shirt, whats happened to the claret. Its gone ''pinkish'' again.( Does it compare with that awful NTL all claret shirt.) Tried it on, normally an XL but found it very short in length. The material was very light and clingy, so for someone like me who doesn't own a six pack, it didn't do my (lack of) figure much good. I tend to pull my collar up so pulled it up and because its two separate bits of material, it just looked stupid. Walked out the shop £45 still in my wallet. Not impressed Macron.

Interesting.

So far I've seen: the claret's too light, the claret's too dark, the claret's just the right shade, the claret's too pink, the fit's too tight, the fit's too baggy.

Either quality control is way out of whack or there's an opinion for everything...

Bought the long sleeved home shirt in the New St. shop yesterday afternoon, and very nice it is too.
Just one note of caution about the sizes. All my non football shirts and t-shirts are medium and are a good fit so I thought a medium size would be ok. When I held it against myself it was obvious it would be too big so I bought the small instead, got home tried it on and the body is a good fit but my arms need to be a couple of inches longer.
Either I've shrunk in the wash or Macrons sizing policy is a bit off.
All in all though a very good shirt. And yes I do know old men shouldn't wear football shirts but what the heck you're only old once. :)

I thought the same thing when I went in the New St shop yesterday.
A medium in the Nike shirts was a perfect fit.
The Macron Medium looks big.

Do they allow you to try the shirts on in either the New St or Villa Park stores?

Not sure. But a female friend of mine is going to New St. sometime today, when I told her over the phone about the sizes seeming a bit out she said no problem she'll buy the one she thinks will fit and then whip off her top try the shirt on and if it doesn't fit take it back to the counter and ask for an exchange. 8)
Mind you she has the body to get away with that........I haven't. ;D

I hope it's soon. The staff are beginning to question why i've been in the shop for the last 4 hours with binoculars and a camera.

I've been vocally happy with the shirts, went to buy one today. Tried it on. Ended up buying this



instead. Happy with my decision too. Something just seemed off about the new shirt when I had it on. I really can't put my finger on what, though.
