If it's modern sizing I'll keep the large and give the medium to the youngest if it isn't too big? I've also took a chance on the 88 away shirt being better than the dhgate version and being closer to the original collar. I've a dhgate version of the grandad collar but it's slightly tight and the brown ale logo feels like it has cardboard in it rather than being just stitching like the original. (For £90 each it better be exactly the same as the original). Well they arrived today and all three are going back, the quality is as the original but the fucking stripes are far too forward on both shirts!! It's like they're on the front. Unbelievable tbh, two different shirt sizes too, £90 a pop and Adidas can't get it right? The 88 away shirt is as it should be apart from the grandad style collar is about 50% bigger than the original. How can an actual sports shirt manufacturer get something like that wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arm adidas 3 stripes I take it ? Otherwise, hate to break it to you, but there's supposed to be stripes on the front of the shirt mate.

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that they’re made at the DH Gate factory? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get my old one out of the drawer in that case. I don’t think I’m ever going to fit into a medium again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 36214 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Well I think these have all but sold out so it probably won’t diminish the value that much. Edit: that’s the club shop you can get more sizes direct from the adidas site if anyone is interested. The collar does look different to the original though, as HMHM said: Edited January 11 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three stripes aren't aligned properly on the 96 shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the dhgate version and the Adidas stripes are better positioned on it than the actual Adidas remake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
