Does something look off about these collars?

I've come across this custom MTM shirt website, Blank Label, but the collars on their shirts look off to me... squashed, somehow, like they start too low on the shirt/aren't tall enough? Am I just imagining this, though?

The top one looks definitely squashed and the bottom one, well, there's just no roll in the collar.

It does look a little odd - you can't really tell without a jacket though.

The first can happen with a spread collar if it is slightly too small for the neck, causing it to pull outwards like that

The point is too long, but the band is too short. Makes it looks like the points are melting...

That's what it looks like to me; the inside 'band' part of the collar is too narrow, so the outside 'collar' part is squashing down on the shirt. Might be too narrow for a tie, too.
