tickler28 Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 I have just had my old next door neighbour post me the white away shirt with Patches (which is lush to be fair) but I'm slightly concerned about the size of the Premier League Patches. Having already ordered some patches via Ali the ones on my Official shirt seem very small (kid size perhaps). I phoned up the club shop and the young lad I spoke to (who sounded about 15) said ALL the Premier League badges were the same size. Now after much research what he has said is not true and the children's version are smaller (pretty bloody obvious as they are going on a smaller shirt). Can anyone in here confirm the diameter of their patches and/or post pictures. I'm not 100% certain but adult patches should measure just over 3" wide and children's just a tad over 2.5"
tickler28 Posted 12 July 2016 Author Posted 12 July 2016 As I thought 65 mm is equal to 2.5" and they are the kids size...http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/16-17-premier-league-champions-kids-patches-65mm-pair Adults should be 80mm or just over 3"...http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Champions-Premier-League-Leicester-Patches-Badges-for-football-jersey-shirt-/122030205721?nav=SEARCH&varId=421042367570 We've all been ripped off!! Unbelievable
tickler28 Posted 12 July 2016 Author Posted 12 July 2016 Considering how many they've sold and how many of us they've outright ripped off (perhaps unknowingly) what does anyone else intend to do? Is anyone bothered?
Craig Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 Considering how many they've sold and how many of us they've outright ripped off (perhaps unknowingly) what does anyone else intend to do? Is anyone bothered? They are youth/replica sizes. All replica shirts have the youth/replica size. It's been the same for years.
red5 Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 You could be right, on the mercury web site it describes them as huge.
Bristol fox .... Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 You can go online and order player size patches on ebay ect, Ive ordered player size champions league patches for £7.99
tickler28 Posted 12 July 2016 Author Posted 12 July 2016 You could be right, on the mercury web site it describes them as huge. It's true the club have dropped a massive clanger... flipping fuming!!!
tickler28 Posted 12 July 2016 Author Posted 12 July 2016 You can go online and order player size patches on ebay ect, Ive ordered player size champions league patches for £7.99 After I've already paid £7 to have tiny kids patches welded on?!?! I have fake shirts that cost less than a tenner with the right size badges!! This shirt cost me £60!!
promised land Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 You can go online and order player size patches on ebay ect, Ive ordered player size champions league patches for £7.99 I got a pair of players size patches, they're 81 mm across.The standard ones are smaller but I don't know what size. 65mm is the standard size, not child's size.

promised land Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 From the City Megastore? No you won't get players size ones from the shop, I bought them online then had them pressed onto the sleeves. Shop ones are the standard size.
tickler28 Posted 12 July 2016 Author Posted 12 July 2016 Ok so I've established everyone who's had them done at KP have the smaller patches. Whether you want to argue they're 'Kids' 'Standard' or 'Replica' size they certainly aren't the same size as the players wear.....basically they are smaller so that they cost less to make and buy....bit cheeky!!
promised land Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 You'll also find the shirt you have bought isn't the same as the players shirts, they're replicas. Players match shirts are different, they also have larger logos, club badge and sleeve badges. All clubs are the same, not just the fan store. So I don't see why you think it's cheeky.
Izzy Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 I ordered last years home kids shirt from LCFC direct for my six year old boy, complete with PL patches and number 6 on the back. I always thought the patches and number looked fooking huge on such a small shirt, so now I reckon they put adult sizes on instead of kids. Makes sense now....
FoyleFox Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 Last year's badges were bigger but had Barclays very prominently. Prefer the unbranded version we have now. The badges look fine on my shirt tbh, which is admittedly quite small. I can see how they might look comparatively small on a larger size. Whatever the size of the badge, it still says Premier League Champions

It's cheeky because the badges are charged at £7 a pair when you can buy the proper size for £7 from Sporting ID?!?! Why not just put the proper size badges on the bloody kits instead of ripping off the fans?
tickler28 Posted 13 July 2016 Author Posted 13 July 2016 To add I had a Thai version of the Leicester home shirt delivered last week (excellent copy by the way) with the player size patches on for £7.50. Based on what people are saying re the club shop version being a replica then the Thai version is as much a replica in fact maybe more since it had the player size patches. £57 for the club version versus £7.50. Basically we are all being ripped off no matter how you look at it so my point is the least they could do is make it less of a rip off
Jace Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 All clubs have to sell the smaller replica patches and letters and numbers, you've probably not noticed but the old patches used to be smaller than the player versions and and so are the letters and numbers on the back too. I think with the patches the size difference between the 2 look a lot more obvious this year than with the old patches. The problem with the bigger 1s is they are quite big and don't have much bend to them so unless you have your sleeves tapered like the players your sleeves will lose their shape a bit with them on
Jace Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Heres the official SportingID guide if its any help you can see the difference in the sizes
promised land Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Photo means nothing, you still won't convince him he hasn't be diddled by the club shop.
