What do you mean by melted mesh? I have a lot of kits with T-bars and none of them melted the mesh.I have that shirt too, the design is amazing.
But regret getting the players version, since the rubber "T" mesh kind of "melted it". It seems to be a common problem with Nike kits from that era.
Or are you talking about the fact you can see the seam of the shirt on the T bar?
