Going to buy this seasons home shirt for a frame but wondering whether to get it with the regular PL sleeve patch (as would be worn by the players when we win it) or the gold champions sleeve patch which would be worn on next seasons Nike shirt
Might wait to see what the players wear when they lift the thing. They might change into a fresh shirt with the gold patch?
If they lift the trophy before the last game of the season, I doubt it very much they will change their match shirts at any time.
They might (after the game) have a set of champions T-shirts printed to go. Or they might gave a set of plater shirts with 19 or champions printed on back, but they will not be allowed to deviate from the shirt they've worn all season.
They have to register their match shirts with The Premier League at the beginning of the season, and cannot deviate from that without the Premier League giving approval. ie: A change of main shirt sponsor for their eye charity, as example.
The only caveat in the rules, is that for the last game of the season, they're allowed to swap their outgoing shirt for their new incoming shirt, in order to show it off and give it some display time for advertising/sales purposes.
