FC Porto New Balance away shirt 15

 

 

Been wanting to get a New Balance shirt and this popped in a bargain bin.  It's a pretty decent shirt as it turns out.

 

Safe crew neck collar.  And not bad patterns on the front.

 

Crest well made and comfortable to wear.

At least the sponsor was at the back.  The material is good and the fit surprisingly good and not too big like Nike shirts.  But it feels not as breathy to wear in the heat as I had expected.

The sleeves and shoulders are nice fit and does give a more snug look.  It certainly gives me more confidence to go ahead and perhaps get a Panama shirt that I have been thinking of getting.  It should be of a similar fit to this.  Anyway, must say NB make quite decent shirts if this is a typical example.

Excel runtime error 32809 suddenly

How odd this has happened to me all of a sudden.  Something has caused a macro enabled spreadsheet to suddenly produce this error.  Fortunately someone has already experienced the samething and has posted this fix at

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27591879/suddenly-several-vba-macro-errors-mostly-32809

We found success using the following approach.

1. Open a blank version of excel.
2. Disable ActiveX controls in Excel Options.

3. Open the offending file. (Click through any error received upon open)
4. Save the file as a new name.
5. Activate ActiveX controls.

We found distributing this file after the steps above resolved the error for all users.

Hope this helps someone else.

Really does work.  As if the Active X settings have corrupted the file.

West Ham 70s Admiral retro shirt?

West Ham in the 70s? Just without the badge.  Retro classic.  

Even the cuffs.  Classic...

Football fashion at its best.

Fiorentina Le Coq Sportif away shirt

If there was such a thing as a perfect shirt.  This has got to be it.  It's just class.  And Le Coq just shows how to make it.  It's such a shame they don't get to make more shirts and this is what it should be.

The collar is class.

Great badge of Fiorentina.

And the brand.

Such a nice touch on the sleeve.  The badge being watermarked.  Subtle touch.

Trying to show it in a different light.

The trim down the side gives it character it needs.

Such a quality shirt.  Absolutely perfect to wear.  And no sponsors hurray...  Its fitted well and its a great cut.  Its what shirts should be sized like.  Looks great slim fit.  The material is fantastic to wear.  It is such a simple design as well.  Just stunningly simple and effective.  Probably the best shirt I have.  Just wished more teams could get shirts made by these masters of sporting fashion.  Just like the good old days when they used to kit out Italy, Argentina, Spurs, Villa etc.  This dark navy blue variant of the template probably the most boring compare to purple used for Fiorentina home and the green used for St Etienne.  I could imagine them being sublime.

Webclient crashing issue. Making server unresponsive and require reboot to fix.

Webclient crashing issue.  Making server unresponsive and require reboot to fix.

Quite a few other people seemed to have experienced it too.

Above seemed to highlight a fix to the issue that was found out with our Server that had to invoke the WebClient Service when writing files to a WebDav location.

We had a .NET Windows Service Program that would write files in a scheduled manner to a WebDav location.  And what actually caused the server crash was interesting.

The service program ran without problems under a service account.  However, it was when if someone else had logged into the Server with an RDP session and then tried to perform some standard actions with the WebClient i.e by simply navigating to a folder with it, it would cause the Service and WebClient to crash and the server would start becoming unresponsive to a point the only option was to reboot. 

Applying the fix seemed to have made it better.

Russia Adidas away shirt Euro 16

This is another very nice shirt made for Euro 16.  It just tempted me so much.  Somewhat better looking seen as a t-shirt or looks like more like one

I was taken by the watermark.

Really gives the simple red white adidas classic adidas lift with the watermark.

Nice updated badge for Russia is well.

The new template's side stripes becoming familiar.

Flag colours at the back of the collar.

The red on the white looks great.  Real simple.  Shame that I could not get this in an XS size as I can imagine it looking really good to wear snug.  It's somewhat slightly smaller than a Sweden home shirt that I have tried for the same S size.  Still it's nice to wear out.  Material is great with these template.

Admiral shirt and its Palace I think

This has got to a Palace shirt that just not had its crest placed and the offloaded from the factory.  But I looked in Admiral's US website and this shirt without badge is a so called London template. 

Superb

The cuffs and should stripe with the Admiral is just fab.

Real tags inside I think.

Good looking classic from the back.  The sizing and shape is perfect as well.

Admiral leisure shirts - Retro England 82, Retro Wales 70s

Now this was something that was found in a seconds market for a few dollars literally and I got a feeling they aren't just pirated knock offs.  Some factory really made these intended for Admiral but somehow they never made it and then the factory offloaded them into the market.  Since the pirates rarely bother copying the lesser known brands.

The tags look real

Cuffs are well made.  Found nothing wrong with the shirt's stitching or build.  The material is average, passable.  A bit dated by todays standard but then again this is suppose to be retro.

The inner labels look like the real thing.  

Even the vapor draw label looks like it legit.

It's an iconic shirt.  Perhaps it was to have the three lions badge transferred onto it but then Admiral decided not to release the product so it got pulled.

This Roy of the Rovers shirt or is it actually Wales back in the 70s but with slightly different colours....  Material is somewhat a bit better too, feels lighter to wear.

Retro vintage, definitely.
