Is it me or are the letters in ORIENT really out of sync with one another?
To me it looks like there is a big space between the I and the N and the N seems to be bigger than any other letter
That’s £13.99 I’ll be saving

Am I being a nit picker or should these be sent back to the makers ?

Agree with what you say about the N. It just looks weirdly large compared to the others. Maybe just the camera playing tricks but shoddy work if not.

No it’s not the camera shot I saw them first hand on Saturday
I spoke to the merchandise guy Marshall Taylor who said they didn’t look that bad I replied that you can’t sell shoddy lettering like that for the full price in fact for any price
He went on one telling me he deals with millions of pounds worth of fashion items etc daily I just let him have his rant then just politely replied
“That’s nice”
He then started to take the caps both red and black off the racks whether he put them back on again after I left is anyone’s guess I would be not to happy if they where selling them again

I think if you’ve bought or are going to buy any clothing merchandise give it a good check over first👍

Definitely a production error. Be interesting to see how they sell and whether they are indicative of the quality of goods overall now being sold. High priced, big margin tat. Hope not.

If you got OCD about that, check the lettering on the badge on some of the old shirts....although I see the point, the badge is the same on all versions of the cap. It obviously is a slight mistake.

Also bugging me is that there are two versions of the badge, one with the stick-on, one with not. If they were so convinced the stick-on one is the future, why not carry it across every bit of merch? If we are to have a house font (the one is a bit too American for me, I feel it should be similar to the font on the gable) why not use it on other things.

I thought we would have some decent connections in the industry with the people we have. But the range of items we have is very poor, in both souvenirs and the training range.

The range of gifts seems to be the cheapest ones we could get, with Macklin bleating on about minimum orders so bigger ticket items seem out of the question for now.

I promise you I don’t have OCD and I would question your slight mistake remark
They are selling a brand at the highest price they can hopefully get
A slight as you put it mistake should not be happening it beggars belief if this product or any other was not checked properly before it left the factory or indeed before it was put on a shelf for sale

There’s no excuses here
I just hope the club rectify it👍

They might turn out to be a fashion item because of the rubbish quality. In 10 years' time they might be worth thousands of pounds.

OCD is not a condition that should be used in the manner you have. It can be a very serious condition that wrecks relationships and ruins lives in its severest form.

I wonder how much money they got knocked off them at the end rather than remaking them.

Also, why does the website only have training/leisure wear tops and no shorts/tracksuit bottoms?

There seems to be a big fat E between the I & the N .

There is however a gap between the E & the N .

Sorry for nit picking your nit picking .

Not the black training ones. The models are all wearing the tracksuit bottoms in the pictures

Closing the shop for eons went well then.
