If they have some surplus stock, I'm sure the Jr's won't mind walking around with a spelling mistake on their backs  ;D

The artwork shown on the other thread is correct "arnage" not "arnage" so presumably the printer's error - shame as he seems to have been really helpful and good.

I don't think I'm too bothered about having one that is wrong if it avoids shafting the printer man....

I wondered when someone would notice.

These shirts are a special run for those going to Sebring - with an extra 'r' in the URL.  'r' for Sebring.  Ok, I'm Dyslexic as well   ;D ;D  You should be grateful that I'll not charge any extra for this as these undoubtedly will become collectors items and appreciate in value.

The prize for the first spotting of the error goes to LangTall, who PM'd me last night.  I checked with what I had given to the printer, and it definitely is a printer fault - what I gave him was correct.

Which leaves me in a bit of a quandry.  As Piglet has said, the printer has bent over backwards on these shirts with all the different options - which makes virtually every shirt unique.  He told me on saturday that they were taking much longer per shirt to produce than he had originally planned (and presumably costed!).  Also, he has contacted me about two of the images I gave him - they were not of sufficiently high resolution and I had to get better quality duplicates - he didn't have to do that, he could have just printed what he had.  Similarly, many of the sleeve flags I gave him he replaced from his own database because of the poor quality of the ones I supplied.     

The shirts affected are all those going to Sebring, and all of DfH's shirts, including those NOT going to Sebring.  All the remaining shirts will have the correct URL.

So it's your call - I could come heavy with the printer and insist he re-does all the incorrect ones, in which case you can forget about getting them for Sebring, or you can accept them as they are, and I'll see what he offers in 'compensation'.  I'm going to see him in an hour's time, so any input will be welcome.  My own view is that it makes very little difference - YOU know its spelt wrongly, but outsiders don't, and I wonder how many of us would have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out (see Christopher's comment below).  I certainly didn't notice, although I'm a bit too close to them.

In my defence at not spotting the error........I didn't pay attention to the wording......I was impressed by the image on the back.

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

I'll take mine as it comes - CA shirt is a "must have" for "Serbring", I doubt many will spot the error. George is already out there, and probably won't be online before the event so I'll take his too. I'm also down to carry Phil's out...

Well, if mine has a typo, so be it. The Jag design and the overall CA logo are great and that's all I'm interested in.

Well, I think I might be the only to feel this way but surely teh whole idea of the website address on the back is to advertise THIS website and forum!

www.clubarnarge.com  is not our site, and is owned by someone from the US. at present. At present it is just a holding/search page, but if they are on the ball and start seeing lots of hits because people are going to their site because they have seen the back of our shirts then they could easily put a Phishing, Gambling or Porn site up there which we would not wnat to be associated with.

How many shirts are we talking about Del?

I accept the printer has offered us many options and a great service, but we do expect a level of service too.

I'm happy to have mine as they are.  KK is dyslexic and I am normally attached to a rucksack so I don't have a huge issue with the error!
