Missed the track top as I was away with work. Likely they’ll do more or have to pay the bastards price on the bay?

Whose is the original? Player I mean… or do you not know?

Can’t believe the one on the right is the original due to colour. Bloke on YouTube reckons you will get 800 for the original

Can't see them making more. Not now they've sold this batch on the premise that it's a limited edition.

Mentioned it earlier in the thread but it’s Tony Normans. The name is still on but the number (13) has been removed but you can see the stitching marks on the back.
Best thinking why he was given an outfield shirt is if he had to come on as an emergency sub.
I think you can knock off a few hundred off that now we have this new release.

How can’t the original manufacturer get it exactly like for like?! the one just released looks like it could have come from one of the reputable retro makers from the last few years. Close but no cigar, if I were you, I’d wear the real one tomorrow at the match to make everyone else’s look like a Chinese fake

The new ones are identified as retro range so the old / original ones should retain their value.

They likely didn't have an original to compare it to. It looks mint all the same.How can’t the original manufacturer get it exactly like for like?! the one just released looks like it could have come from one of the reputable retro makers from the last few years.

Doubt it. Part of the value was the scarcity, which is now broken. Only true shirt hunters will care it's the original. Still valuable, but less so due to the dilution

Is the shirt logo the same material as the remake too as I know the replicas of them days were felt badges

Doesn’t change the scarcity of the real thing , man u have had some great retro shirts but they’re match shirts keep going through the roof

A match shirt is slightly different.
This new shirt doesn’t change scarcity, no, but it lowers the pool of people who will now want an original

The only originals are match shirts, was never sold to fans

Maybe giving them too much credit, but could it be deliberate?How can’t the original manufacturer get it exactly like for like?! the one just released looks like it could have come from one of the reputable retro makers from the last few years.

Give everyone a remake of shirt they want but make it different enough that it’s obvious side by side which is a genuine original to keep the value up on them?

Didn’t realise apologies. Then I think it will hold more of its value but still not on the same levels it would have done without the new shirt

Yeah they are both embroidered into the shirt - assuming you mean the Hummel logo.

The badge we have used on this release is the old style avec badge from 94-96 kit. The fans always got felt badges, some of the player kits had embroidered badges on.
It’s a cracking release and im really happy to have it, the badge being felt would’ve been even better and the yellow is a lot bolder on the original i think they’ve used a yellow nearer the 88-91 kit
