Found a twitter page with a guy getting old adidas shirts made. Tried to get in touch a few times but no luck. Has he gone awol, anyone know? I don’t have twitter and asked my wife to reach out. Even tried the email.
Would love some of these shirts. My originals don’t fit me anymore😃
Thanks

Club went after him a week or so back, put out a statement asking fans not to buy fake gear, costing the club money etc etc.
His Twitter account has been shut down today but I'd noticed a few people had been Tweeting about him taking orders, not fulfilling them and going quiet, and then when shirts had arrived the quality was up and down.
I think rather than go hot and heavy chasing the guy the club may want to ask themselves why people are turning to him for shirts. To me it says the club aren't doing a big enough, good enough, cheap enough range of retro gear. Correct that, then call him out. They also did it at a time when people had been waiting 6 weeks or more for orders from the club shop. So I think they've misjudged it rather. |  | | |

My missus tried to get me one funny enough
There’s also a site called diamond retro who used to do the same thing, could be the same guy as he is always changing the name of the site , they used to do the 86 top with the Adidas on there |  |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Seems the club shop manager is getting flack however he has to support the clubs thinking.
I’ve always thought the club is always chasing the pennies as if it’s going to help the owners save on putting in a million every month. Economics 101 yet not very pragmatic.
Personally these shirts are classic outerwear and ones I would wear on a daily basis. I’m in no rush to walk around with betting company’s or airlines on a throw away shirt.
Guinness only sponsored us and Cork city. They were very reluctant to partner with a football club due to alcohol and hooliganism related incidents. Park Royal brewery sealed the deal.
Not cost effective for adidas to make them but.......... [Post edited 3 Jul 2020 15:26]

Can't see how the club are going to pay licensing and/or manufacturing fees to adidas (if they'd even be amenable to it) for a broader range of retro shirts to indulge a conservative and reactionary fanbase knowing it will eat further into sales of new gear.

Can anyone argue this isn't a pretty broad selection of official retro stuff by most clubs standards? The real demand here is for the bootleg adidas logos... |  | | |

What's even really missing? The quarters, the navy pinstripe (already remade once for the goalie kit a few years back, and try licensing Compaq now), the 81 and 87 homes.

If the club want to sell more shirts don’t have a sponsor on it.
Training gear is nice but Asheville concrete ffs.
I know revenue coming in etc but can’t we be more creative and revolutionary in this area.
People want the adidas logo ones, I do. | | | |

So why would people prefer the knock off gear?
1 - like you say perhaps the three stripes and adidas TMs which is difficult to get around. Hands up, fair play.
2 - cost. Kicking a t-shirt out at £35-£40 is asking to be undercut. There must be a way to do those cheaper. They do them at that price because they hold the licence for them and think they can get away with it. I bought that gorgeous blue and white hooped tracksuit top from the club shop for fifty bleeding quid - colours ran on the first wash, ruined, into the charity bag. Cheap as fcking chips to make, kicked out at 50 notes. I notice the new trend now among the big cnts upstairs is to do a replica shirt, for your standard 50 quid, but then also a "match quality" replica shirt for upwards of £90. Ninety quid for a t-shirt. It takes the piss.
And, like I say, deciding to get on your high horse about it at a time the club shop hasn't been sending stuff out or responding to people for six weeks, father's day gear missing etc, isn't great. Even Hoos said at the forum it was unforgiveable how that had been neglected. | | | |

You're not gonna get the adidas ones. Ask the person behind the desk at the library to click on eBay for you.
Look forward to the sales of a couple hundred XXXXXL sponsorless retro shirts making up the FFP shortfall. | | | |

If you got Adidas now you'd have the same problem we had with Nike. It would be an off the peg number from their catalogue with QPR badges slapped on it. You'll see five-a-side teams running round in them for a tenner a throw while we get charged £49.99 because they've stuck a QPR badge on it. If you think Adidas would come back now and do proper, 80s style QPR kits you're kidding yourself. | | | |

My 'Dennis the Menace' Binatone one still fits me.

It looks fkin great as a toon fan I played football with last year said. "That is a proper kit". |  |

Northern, I’m talking about access to the trefoil 80,s adidas kits. If Adidas came back to us they would likely gloriously mess things up and anyway they have a different logo now. Anyway on good authority we are not big enough for them. [Post edited 3 Jul 2020 16:06]

It's more than a little unfair to conflate the club shops comms in the middle of a fkn global pandemic furlough with wider general contempt for the consumer. They were overrun, it was bad, they dealt with it and apologised. And come off it, people weren't buying moody gear because they were driven in despair to bootleggers cos they couldn't receive new stuff for a few weeks to wear at home in lockdown.
Quality of official merchandise - no excuses, sort it out. (But again in this instance doubt people instead went for the guaranteed quality of a bloke off twitter likely custom ordering them from DHGate or some other cheapo Chinese factory).
Shirts being expensive - yes, bad, modern life is rubbish, thruppence bit in my day.
Not liking the new gear, which is really what this is all about - well the pink was a best seller as you've often reported. At the mercy of uninspired kit designers it seems but the club are effectively paid to comply. | | | |

Ok mate, look, you're right in a lot of what you say so... ok I concede. I've had a horrible week, I'm absolutely fcking miserable, I've still got a Boro preview to do, and I'm not sure an afternoon of aggressive kit discussion is going to improve things greatly for me or achieve anything. | | | |

His fake shirts were going for similar money though
Didn't the club do the blue star shirts for £20 as a special this season? |  |

You know my collection of Twitter trolls say the same thing the other way around. Be nice if people could make their minds up whether I'm in the club's pocket and sticking up for them all the time or spending afternoons blaming them for everything. | | | |

One thing that does annoy me that ought to be within the club's control is the lack of some sort of coordination with the sponsor(s) and kit manufacturer. Currently it seems we get what we're given at different times and just bodge it all together.
Appreciate deadlines are not often conducive (especially not this summer when there's no knowing when we'll seal new sponsorship deals) but for instance when we had Errea and Royal Panda locked in it drove me mad that the sponsors logo couldn't have been adapted to a single line to fit symmetrically on a single hoop (text either side of the crown not staggered vertically) - never mind having it in another more complementary colour. It would have been of benefit to the sponsor's brand just as much as our personal aesthetic biases. I fear what we're in for if we should end up with a new sponsor with a less restrained logo and no say or inclination to maintain our own brand. | | | |

Clive don’t be miserable. Get utterly shit faced and paint your self your own retro Adidas QPR top. Then sell it on eBay and then the club will ban you.
You’ll never be miserable again but you will be shit faced again.

What about the other QPR "supporter" buying kits off eBay, adding numbers and names and then selling them as match worn for £250+ 😲 | |
