Anyone else bought one of them and washed it only to find that the colours run and where there used to be white sleeves there are light green ones. :boo hoo:

Only had it a couple of months and worn it a few times.

Mine shrank after the first wash, never getting one again!

That's exactly what happened to mine.
I can't remember if it happened gradually or if she put it in at too high a temprature or something on only one occasion.
Either way it looks daft when this happens and the top is ruined.

Have a look at Celtic selection :confused:

1888 All white with a green collar (with a red Celtic Cross)
1890's Green & White Stripes (with Gold Harp the same as our original badge)
1955 to 64 (Away) White with Green sleeves


So when did they steal our Hooped shirts?

I think the shirt they wore in Seville and the season after was to commemorate 100 years of them first wearing hoops, so that would date it in 1903/04.

My dad has a toffs and said it was fine. I've a 'score draw' one and i've never encountered any problems either.

These colours don't run.

One of my English mates bought me one for my birthday and it was dead after 2 washes, bye bye white sleeves

As previous poster says These Colours Don't Run t-shirts don't have this problem

There are 'Stanton' style tops in the club shop atm.

Have you ever washed them? :greengrin

I got one in Burton ages ago and it's been fine. Think it may be a 'score draw' one. Not too sure though

I emailed Toffs yesterday and to their credit they replied within a couple of hours. They have asked me to return it to them for testing and if they find a fault then they will replace. I can tell them now that there is a fault - the top has bright green sleeves. :agree:

Top is outside drying so hope nobody pinches it. :greengrin

I've not got that one but I do have the 1972 Scottish Cup Final one and something similar happened to that one too! :boo hoo: :agree:

i got mines over 5 years ago from toffs, never had a problem with it, maybe in the newer made tops quality has been dropped for cost reasons?
