Anyone dealt with Red Robins Retro?

The club could easily licence the use of their badge (probably the only IP in the older shirts, other than "passing off" rights) to third party companies to make and sell them. Could then have make demands over quality and also take a cut (if they wanted). Unlikely to undercut sales of current shirts, might strengthen their brand, and give them a bit of control. Also as someone said re Arsenal v Reed, they want to avoid acquiescence where they don't prevent unauthorized use, because after a period time you can't then do anything about it (5 years? I don't do a lot of trade mark work these days).

Hi mate. What size did you go for? 

I had the original of that ecru one but lost it!! 😭

I've got XL in both. They're very true to size so no need to size up in my experience.

Cool. I’ve gone for a large which is what I’d probably normally buy for a football shirt, but in the past the sizing of some shirts (especially official ones we sold at the club shop) came up enormous so I would have to end up sizing down rather than up

They have said the next shirt will be the yellow FADS shirt. WIll be interesting to see what price they give it, as its already available elsewhere for as low as £34 

Where’s that then?

On a different subject but related.

My son in law popped into a random sport shop in Melbourne yesterday and sent me this picture of a charlton shirt on sale. I dont recall us playing in it.

I thought it looked quite good.

Bloody hell. So it is. It was that memorable 🤣

Still not got mine, not being very helpful at the moment, hope it doesn't come to it, but it's feeling like this might end up being a PayPal dispute.

I’ve had some trouble too, patchy response times over email for a couple of weeks (usually after a follow up) and then no response on a Twitter DM for the past few days either - trying not to be too upset about it because it’s clearly a small operation.

I’m concerned I’m too late now to make any changes and will have to make sure any future orders are submitted with the right info the first time.

F*** the fact they are a small company.

They have your money and not giving you the service you deserve.

Fits in really well if you have any Zebras or pandas nearby.

I purchased a 86/87 home shirt a few months back. Took about 3 weeks to arrive. No problems and fine to deal with

All good now - the shirt I bought finally arrived today. Guess it just took a while to make it over this way. I still didn’t get my question/request about sizes answered but luckily it worked out because it turned out the size I chose was right anyway.

Shirt is well made and I’m looking forward to wearing it so I’m happy despite a bit of heartburn waiting for it to arrive wondering if I’d made a mistake.

I’m sure if you’re U.K. based and you know what size you need the first time you will have no issues BUT don’t expect any real response if you need to change anything on your order so make sure you get it right the first time.

Pleased you're happy with it.

Just remembered, ordered the blue woolwich shirt about a month ago and not heard so much as a peep from them. Did anyone else order?

Didn't get the blue one but ordered one a few months ago. From memory, it took a fair while to come and they actually closed their twitter DMs so I couldn't get in touch. The shirt itself was really cool but unfortunately some of the seams broke on the first wear which has put me off buying anymore as it is a great idea.

I ordered the White One. Didn't turn up and have been having a nightmare getting a refund. Finally got them to acknowledge it was lost and offer a refund a couple of weeks ago. Now no sign of the refund and the response to Twitter DMs has dried up. Really wish they accepted PayPal as the dispute would be far easier to deal with.
