They charge £1.75 a letter and £4.75 a number, whereas Subside do any name and number for £12.95. On top of that they were trying to get away with charging £8.50 for two Prem patches. you can get them for £6 on bloody Subside!

Skiz it's £1.20 a letter and £4.75 for a number. That's only for the Prem lettering. The other items are pretty cheap compared to subside or if not cheaper the same. Wonder why Prem is dearer.

Hmmm I wonder. Seems like you have a laminated sheet with all WS info to refer to, very quick on the draw! :p

Nope.... just sad enough to be looking at every website I can find that sells printing. The other one is UK soccershop but I've heard some seriously bad things about them...

Never used them before, they sell fakes I assume?

I've heard that and the worst bit is they try and charge it as real items. You never know what the hell you're getting. The only ones I've used and trust for shirts and or player printing that's real are Subside Sports or Wiggy Sports. There's probably cheaper but at least you know what you're getting.

wouldn't trust uksoccershop at all.

they have a reputation of using fake printing.

and they're also notorious for taking 2-3 months to ship an item.

I stand by my previous comment then. Thanks for backing me up..

i know of this one here

http://www.wiggysports.co.uk/homepage.htm (best if using internet explorer)

but 20 $ seems like a real good price...do they have the nike numbers for shorts as well ? do they have a website ?

it's nikkysports (or whatever name is..). They put name and numbers with that kind of heating-press for $20. Dunno if the numbering is official but it did look pretty good.

Do they have a website to view? Can't find a Nikky Sports?

See the only thing I'm not too sure about having the numbering pressed on my jersey is the fact that, because of the material numbers/letters are made, it makes me sweat like hell on the back. Maybe official lextra doesn't have this terrible problem??

It doesn't. I sweat a lot as it is and the Lextra doesn't put any more pressure on my back or irritate it.

my back tends to sweat more than anywhere else but haven't had any problems with the lextra.

it did feel heavier at first, though. that was my only complaint. but i've gotten used to it.

I have received my Lextra Champions patches for my old Arsenal shirt. However there are pieces of gold border that shouldn't be there. Must I just cut the plastic and gold that shouldn't be there?

Also, there is this random dark black lion shape behind each patch - what is it?:confused:

1. The outside bits come off when you iron them on, there will be a gold lextra outline left on the lextra backing sheet but I assure you if you do it right they come out correctly on the shirt.

2. The backing bits are for the extra textured area which comes out as the lion when you iron them on. When you've done it you will see what I mean.

A heat press - I may as well considering I will be getting Clichy on it at the shop.

Won't the lettering/numbering be out of date though if you do?

No, its for my 04/05 blue away Arsenal shirt, along with the appropriate 03/04 Champions patches.

I'm glad I opted not to get REYES 9 put on it when I bought it at Lillywhites way back when.
