Should I complain about the jersey customization?

[Behind Enemy Lines in CO 11]

Hi everyone - I need some advice. I purchased a Red Wings Winter Classic jersey from SportsK a few weeks ago and had it customized to add the Chelios name and 24 number to the jersey. I received the jersey yesterday, and while the quality of the materials used and the sewing is excellent, I noticed that the numbers are not aligned on the back of the jersey.

Attached is a picture showing the probem: the 4 is higher than the 2. I looked at some of my other jerseys and they do not have this problem.

Should I complain to SportsK or should I just let it go. Anyone else have this problem on their customized jerseys?

Might as well file some sort of complaint.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[Travis 576]

No reason not to. They made a mistake, they should know about it.

[IceMunkee 15]

As a consumer it is your responsibilty to file a complaint. If you were $1.50 short on the total would they have let you slide? Unlikely.

[crispychris 45]

Yes. tell them it's not off by much but you were thinking of having the jersey framed and it needs to be just right.

Let me ask u this, did you need the ruler to tell they weren't aligned or is it something you noticed right off the bat? I have never checked any of my 10 or 11 Jersey's with a ruler... I say let it go if you can't tell by looking.

Booster that is unacceptable. If you pay for a blu-ray player and it has a broken button would you keep it? If you pay for a product to be done professionally you should get a professional product.

I would have never noticed the number being off though.

I understand both sides but that sort of makes sense to me broken button, take it back, a scratch on the back or bottom of the player, and I don't really care. Point is it depends on how bad the defect is. I bet if I took a ruler to my closet and started measuring seems, hems, etc I would have to return most of my clothes.

I'm sure they would fix it for you. I've always had great service there. But with it just being off a bit I might be afraid of fixing it since the numbers are sewn on, might be able to tell where they were before..or not. Just thinking out loud.

[Guest scottj]

it doesn't look like a big deal to me but they did f*** up and if you want you could probably get them to fix it

but even if you don't get it fixed i doubt anybody's gonna be able to notice it, obviously you will cause that's gonna be the first thing you think of when you look at it... but if you want them to redo it just so you can get that out of the back of your head every time you look at it, you have every right to

[Original-Six 254]

I cant tell by looking at the picture but you would expect everything to be flawless considering how much them things cost.

[Seraph 240]

If it bothers you, then let them know. I would have never noticed something like that though. And even if I did, I would probably forget about it really fast.

Actually I did notice the numbers being off when I pulled it out of the package. I did a double take, and it was only then that I pulled out a ruler to confirm or deny it.

Hey, I'm not really anal about this, however now that I know the numbers are not straight I will always know they are not straight.

Not sure what to do. Maybe I should just contact SportsK and inform them of the problem and see what they say.

If you noticed it then give them a call... You should be happy with your purchase.

That's nothing.

You should see what they did to my Williams jersey.

You paid for a Williams jersey? bahahaha

Hopefully, they s*** on it and set it on fire.

[soultrain 43]

if i f*** up your haircut because you can't sit still...its on you. if i f*** it up and your not sitting still...my bad. a jersey doesn't move. send it back and tell them that you could have gotten it from china for 1/10 the cost and NOT had that problem

[henrik40 76]

That's why I buy from dhgate. $30-$40 for a jersey, might be a few imperfections but nothing I can't live with. In fact, the Lids winter classic jersey I purchased for 29.95 is waaaaay better than the jersey I bought at the Classic when I was drunk and thought it'd be a good idea to fork over $150 for it.

what was shipping on the dhgate jersey?

[sputman 1,268]

and to the OP, personally i wouldn’t complain. honestly you're probably the only one that would notice that, and only because you paid for it and for pretty good money, too. but it would go unnoticed to everybody else.

[Travis 576]

That could very well be with shipping included. I got one from DHGate for $42 shipped. The imperfections were too much for me, but some of the Winter Classic ones look fairly accurate.

[Barrie 900]

I'd leave it, it's nothing major, and trying to fix it, considering the numbers are stiched on, may make it worse.

[Behind Enemy Lines in CO 11]

Thanks for all the replies. I decided that I can live with it (it is very minor) and will not contact SportsK. I guess the reason I posted about this was to find out if others had similar experiences with SportsK because I was/am going to send them another blank Red Wings jersey I have for customization.

[crispychris 45]

When you send the next blank RedWings jersey you should tell them about this.It is minor but it not that hard to line up numbers. This is what these folks do for a living. Most shops like this one take pride in their work.
