Black with white

Now confirmed as Academy 23 (Polo, training shirt, drill top and pants) There are two types of jacket, it’s the knit version

Yep. The issue is Nike Refreshes the key ranges, specifically Academy every year, so even if The FA were to use one for two years, they wouldn’t have the supply unless they had a deal with Nike to extend production, which is unlikely. They could choose one of the cheaper ranges which are still...

You are correct, current Academy Pro 23 Range was discontinued by Nike in December and has therefore been sold off in most places. Ref Stop cleared large quantities of Polos (and still are) at 22.95. They have a few jackets too but still full price. If history repeats the previous few times...

I’ve not heard of any coming off completely no, but peeling is common after a few washes. I’ve had plenty of vinyl since they stopped doing embroidery and haven’t had a single one peel off! As for these silicone ones on the Nike Polos, they are even worse, they just hang down as they are too heavy!

I’m yet to find a colleague who has managed to wash their kit 5+ times and the silicone badge has stayed on, what a stupid idea just for show - I suspect they will be changed to standard vinyl from next season given all the returns ref stop have had

Newitts is generally the cheapest, but does have a high P&P cost. Don’t be tempted with the mainstream attraction of the RefStop because all your local Level 4’s tell you it’s great, they are at least 30% more expensive than anywhere else for everything - same kits and badges as everyone else...

The teasing is boring now, they’ve missed the boat this season and everyone has bought (kit at least) from elsewhere

I, together with some others, are in the business of kits and badges (not ref stop or referee store obviously) We are selling more FAMOA badges now than ever before, vastly outselling County badges, so don’t worry too much, Referees still want, and are buying this badge in large numbers...

New badge

I agree. RefStop have known about this for a long time and were first to remove the FAMOA badge from sale. They have an announcement coming Friday according to their page, and the FA official page is down, so I smell something coming to that effect

£50? And the rest! £60 at the lovely Ref Stop badged and delivered, even more for a long sleeve

Anthracite and Grey it is 😊

Hi All, I’m new here but this popped up on my google search so thought I’d add in! I’ve been hearing for nearly 2 months now regarding this badge. It first started with Level 4’s saying they’d been told they were having a different badge next season, followed by being told Level 5 and down...
