The stitching is very obvious though as it sorta indents the shirt, but it's worth a shot to see if you can get away with it! :biggrin:

Exactly. I could get away with it, but as you've said it's worth a shot :biggrin:!

I guess it'd be easier with a managers shirt on because it's a darker colour so the sew lines wouldn't be seen as clearly, whereas on the red shirts they'll appear more obviously due to the lighter tint of the shirt methinks! :biggrin:

That's true :biggrin:! They should've made the uniforms more simpler!

I personally preferred the old uniform - if we had the old uniform with the present uniforms' colours then! :biggrin:

rgnsonbsersebnsrknb whaaaaa?! I've been working at SD since November '11. The old uniform wasn't much different but it had a navy blue stripe down the shoulders and no badge on the top, just a SPORTSDIRECT.COM across the back in white lettering. The trousers had pockets too!

Ah ok. When I started, my manager gave me the new uniform straight away, so the jumper and polo shirt with the logo and SPORTSDIRECT.COM written across the back, and the trackies without the pockets :|!

Ahhh sad times! I remember being able to put my radio without a clip into my pockets, and when a customer asks where they can find a certain item that isn't in store:

'Head over to our website, the address is *does 180 degrees spin - showing back to the customer* SPORTSDIRECT.COM!' :biggrin:

Yep :frown: wish I had the trackies with the pockets. Fair dos :biggrin:! Haha awesome :biggrin:!
Maybe we should both take a pair of management trackies? to be honest I need some shorts for work so I might get some with pockets in :colone: Yeah I'm a bit cheeky and sometimes hyper like that, although some other times I can be a bit of a moany wotsit depending on how busy the store is, KPI sales etc. (Yeah, I used to jump for joy whenever someone bought a KPI off me - I didn't jump literally but y'know....) :smile:

Yeah. Yeah I'm pretty tempted to get some shorts for work myself. Aww fair enough, I love having a laugh at work :biggrin:!

I just want to know where to get some from as it seems you have to get a particular brand (I'd assume slazenger). Yeah some of the colleagues can make it fun but then so can some of the customers - on the other hand customers can turn an okay/good day into an absolute miserable day when they want to :s-smilie: But I always love having a laugh at work! :biggrin:

Yeah I think it's only slazenger for the uniform. Yeah some of the customers can put me in a crappy mood :| same here :biggrin:!

I'm sure there's a certain pair of shorts you have to wear though, even if it is slazenger. Gahh customers that drag you away from your serving area just to get a top down - we're not allowed to do it because it could be a distraction to shoplifting or we have to get someone else to cover us but we still have to do it! :frown: Delivery shifts can be pretty fun - haven't had one of those in months :biggrin:

Yeah. Eurgh that does annoy me sometimes when they drag you away to get a top down :frown: and when you're trying to get hold of a pair of shoes for them from the stockroom and sometimes they throw a fit if you take ages :|! Awesome :biggrin: I haven't had a delivery shift yet.

Sometimes if I take two minutes to get a shoe (which is too long in their opinion) they just leave the store! :angry: I love delivery shifts, we put on someone's iPod over the speakers and play D'n'B to wake us up (but this probably isn't allowed) :colondollar:
