New 'redesigned' red polo shirts

Post by superdaves »

Has anyone ordered a new red polo shirt recently?

My advice would be: Don't, they are terrible.

They are much thinner, made of horrible cheap material,
there is no decent shape to them anymore - they hang off you like a sheet - yet cling to your fat bits if you're slightly overweight and are really baggy if you're not,
the badge is tiny, the pen holder is bigger so your pen falls out all the time
It's like they're fakes that have been bought abroad at a cheap market!!

I phoned dimensions who couldn't care less and said they're the only ones you can have now and it's probably because they cnanged supplier :sad:

Yeah the planners don't want us to carry any undue weight...so uniforms in the future will be see through/lightweight....RM want a transparent service.

Return to Blue Shirts.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Never worn the t-shirt and never will. Always thought it looked unprofessional. Blue shirt is much better to be seen in especially when dealing with the public. :)
