Hi all, hope everyone is well and looking forward to next weekend. Just wanted to garner some options or facts if possible.

Every year I buy a Liverpool shirt and also every few years I buy a Wales rugby shirt, whenever a new one comes out. Why is it that I wash them exactly the same but the quality on the rugby shirts, or sponsor print, badge etc lasts perfectly on the rugby shirt, but on my Liverpool shirts, especially under warrior and new balance, there's always something coming off, whether it be a letter, a leg of the liver bird, anything.

Do manufacturers do this on purpose to make people buy shirts more frequently whereas national team rugby shirts have to last as they're released every 3-4 years?

I have to say a lot of the Adidas ones have lasted reasonably well, Reebok same. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had similar problems with the warrior on new balance shirts please?

No such issues with mine. In saying that, I rarely wear them. More of a collectable for me these days.

I do wash them inside out but still seem to get the same result, I wear Liverpool shirts most days so they do get a lot of wear but how the Adidas ones our outlasting all the newer ones I just find wrong.

I imagine rugby shirts have to be more durable considering how they are played in.

My 2001 gold/ blue kit is still perfect. I'm sure the old ones are the best.

1. The shirts are likely to be of different quality - consider the punishment that rugby shirts take during a game
2. Wash them inside out
3. Wash them at a lower temperature, even Lidl washing powder works fine at 20 degrees

There you go lad, problem solved.
