    Well, despite carefully following the washing instructions on my new black away jersey, it seems that the Premiership Champs badges are peeling off a bit. Even when I first received the shirt, they seemed to be placed on there kind of cheaply, and I guess I was right.

    Anyone else have this problem? I feel like this jersey has been problematic from the get go, with issues involving Kitbag shipping, added fees, and now this. Its a nice jersey, and I'd hate for the patches to fall off completely. Should I... just add some glue underneath the patches and hope they stick? Not sure what to do here. Its not the end of the world or anything, but I'm just kinda anal about my jerseys.

    *sigh*

    Do you have a local alteration shop, they are hard to find these days, but might just be able to fix it. My other suggestion, and maybe the easiest to find would be a screen printing and emroidery business, they are likely to be familiar with the material and processes invloved.

    No, it's not you being anal about your jersey. If you spent close to a hundred bucks on a shirt (I know I did), I think you can expect the badges not to peel.

    Even though my badges haven't peeled yet, I also noticed air bubbles under the badge when it first shipped, which is not a good sign.

    Kitbag sucks, that's all I can say.
