Please help me salvage my son's football shirt.
After only a month, the D in Gerrard has started to peel off my son's treasured Liverpool shirt and he is distraught. I have followed all the washing instructions to the T and would take it back to the shop (JJB Sports) if I still had the receipt.
Any ideas how I can stick it back on without ruining the shirt?

I've taken faulty things back several times without a receipt and always got a refund/replacement. explain how long you've had the shirt and how the rest of it is in good condition - it's this one letter that peels off and your son is distraught. Turn on the charm and I bet they'll replace it. If the store won't, send it to the JJB head office.
They should be able to salvage it.
With the cost of buying a shirt then adding name and numbered shirt I don't blame you wanting to repair rather than buy a new one.
Was looking for a new Man Utd shirt with Ronaldo on the back and was looking at £51.00 for it.
Harsh!
My mom bought me a Man Utd goaly top about 8 years ago from JJb, and it went all bubbly in the wash after about a month. We took it back without the reciept and they replaced it there and then.
Seriously though, you are entitled to a replacement after only a month, with or without a receipt. Take it back to JJB's and be polite but firm. Did you pay cash? If you paid by credit or debit card you could take a statement with the payment on as proof of purchase. Even the carrier bag it came in would help. I worked for 3 years on customer services and was trained in refunds and repairs. I know policies change but I'd stand firm if I were you.
Good luck
Hope you get it sorted for your lad.
Take it back to the shop:eek:
Its Stevie G , cant risk damaging it
I love liverpool
I bought an England shirt from The FA (online), now the top of the H has started peeling off, is there anyway to save this or have I just to got wait for it to come off (/ pull it off) and go into JJB etc and ask them to put a H on? How much would they charge for this?
Thanks
Edit:
Just found some superglue so used that and it stuck (along with my fingers), will wait and see what happens in the wash though!
You could try an iron through greaseproof paper but you might be better sending it back to the retailer, as really they should be sorting it.
If you look in our club shop all they do to affix the numbering is to put the number on the shirt is to put them in place, put a bit of special paper on top then put a hotplate over it.
(You don't know anywhere other than the 72 club shops where you can get official football league numbering - Not PL ??)
Cheers, will try that if this doesn't work, it looks fine at the moment apart from a spot of glue next to the top of it, not really noticeable
Nope, round here JJB have trouble with PL numbering, they don't do it, then they do, then the next day they don't, then they do but you need a receipt (!?). Have never noticed FL numbering though but haven't needed it, if you wanted it done this season I would sya any of the playoff venues as their shops would still be open (Bristol City, Palace, Darlington etc) but it's too late now unless any open for selling Wembley tickets and you can get them to do it, don’t know how close to a FL club you are
This England shirt expires at the end of next season anyway (07-09 home one) so it’s still all good other than that, by the time I get any sort of reply from the FA it will be time to get a new one! Got the red one anyway so will have to use that if this gets worse
i wash my boys Gerrard shirts inside out and on a wool wash.. leave them to dry.. they have been fine..
i would take it back to where you got it from.. to have the letters re-applied..
