I posted this on March 19th:
This has got to be an all time Disney low for merchandising...
A friend and I were at DL last St Patrick’s Day and saw a cute cream colored shirt with Mickey dressed in Irish garb and “08" on the left sleeve. Sadly they didn’t have it in my size, a CM called to check on it and told me they were out of the shirt throughout the park, Surprisingly they showed up a few months later at the Character Warehouse in all sizes. So I bought the shirt not for the $28 marked price, but for $10.
Fast forward to March 1st this year. We were at DL to celebrate a family member’s birthday and my friend sees some shirts like the one I had bought last year and she buys one for $28 dollars without looking too closely. Tuesday we decided to go to DL and she wore her shirt. I glanced at her shirt when she got into the car and notice a somewhat crooked shamrock on the left sleeve, in a shade of green that actually clashed with the shirt’s decorations. I mentioned to her that my shirt has an “08" when the shamrock is on her shirt. She turned the sleeve hem over and low and behold the “08" was clearly visible under the crooked shamrock.
We both had a good laugh at all the shirts we saw Tuesday with mismatched shamrocks on the sleeves.
The shirts are now back at the outlet for $14.00, crooked patch and all.
