Diamond Retro have just began to stock the 1990 Adidas away top, been after one of these since I was a kid but can anyone who’s perhaps used this site before confirm if it’s 100% safe/legit before I buy? Heard a few dodgy stories about such football top websites and just want to be safe. Link below for anyone else interested, cheers troops.

They were Aztec Retro before, and they were fine for a long time but did hit issues last year that left a lot of people with un-honoured orders. They've started up again as Diamond Retro, but I've taken a chance with the new top and ordered it.

Their strips were good quality before and I'm sure they'll be looking to re-establish themselves so hoping for no issues this time. If there is, I got my money back from Paypal last time anyway so wasn't out of pocket for long.

I bought one from Aztec Retro - yellow top.
Waited a few weeks and just when I was about to cancel, it arrived.
The collar didn't really sit right, and the hem of the shirt started to unravel after one wear.

Just binned it.

Wouldn't recommend.

They are generally small made so perhaps the large would fit. At the end of the day pay via PayPal or credit card so you have recourse if it goes pear shaped

Anyone still waiting on an order from these guys? I ordered the 89 home top at the start of March and it still hasnt arrived. Had a variety of excuses from the company so far and they have disappeared off Twitter and are now on some other app callled Parler. I'm not seeing any orders arriving on either app though and I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking about a paypal claim.

I'm in a similiar position.

I know they had issues with Thai post due to COVID, I've had some e-mails saying that orders placed around that time might still have a wait of a few weeks.

I'm going to give it a wee bit longer before I place the paypal claim I thik.

I saw something last week (I think im on their email list still) about the business associate in asia being ill and this causing a delay in orders but not to worry and don't cancel. Ironically it also said something fairly aggressively about naming and shaming those that cancel their orders via paypal as its theft apparently

the illness is exactly the same line they used they were 'Aztec retro' , once they started to fail to deliver... they blame customs next... attempting to scare you into not raising a complaint is a new tactic though

i'd get on to paypal pronto

I waited for four months for the original release of 85/86 shirt before raising an issue with paypal last December they never contested it . had the top been in the system they as they claimed in earlier emails I would have received it

Yup.... Still waiting!

Ordered in Feb, Dispatched in 3rd March... tracking received 25th March... and im still waiting... I emailed them multiple times and have had replies, but the excuses keep on rolling.

The latest update from them is that their business partner in Thailand has been ill and in hospital... but i really do not see how that affects orders that are supposed to be already in transit!!!

Ive always received my orders from them, but in this case i am very tempted to get a refund and deal with them should the order arrive... ever!

App used by right wing nut jobs and hate merchants, it was their goto app after Twitter started chucking them off for posting their hate drenched rubbish. Strange for any company (apart from those selling these groups paraphernalia) to associate with.

Not just me then...

I’ve been patient about it all so far and not chased up once but I’m starting to lose hope that the top will turn up. I think PayPal claim needs to be within 180 days so mine would need done during August at the latest. I’ll happily pay up if the top arrives but given the lack of twitter posts about tops arriving I’m starting to think the top was never sent.

One thing to take note of is that the deadline to dispute transactions for anyone waiting on the Hibs away 89 top is looming, its in August.... perhaps they are stalling to make it past this date and then customers cannot dispute the transaction with PayPal?

EDIT: I don't want to sound callous but an illness in their company should not affect orders already dispatched, it is not the customers problem and the seller 'Dave' is UK based, while his business partner who is ill is based in Thailand.... why should her illness stop him from doing his job!?

made 2 orders early in March and still nothing. Kept emailing and getting excuses back about covid etc. now the excuse is the person that is ill? what is that gor to do with something already meant to be in the post? I contacted paypal and got a full refund then I got a email from a guy saying I was taking piss for not waiting longer and said I got a refund plus a free shirt? well guess what NO shirts have arrived and I don't give a S*** if he names and shames me. Get a refund folks before the deadline or you'll lose everything. that's their plan for you to wait till after the deadline.

Makes no difference what PayPal's dates for a claim are. Ultimately, it's the Bank or Card Company that your PayPal A/c uses who you can make a claim with.

You are under no obligation to make any claim through PayPal.

As have I.... if, and it’s a big IF, my shirt arrives I will get in contact with them and send the payment, but right now the radio silence and the attitude I’ve experienced via email doesn’t leave me with much hope.

It’s a real shame cos I have almost all the hibs retro kits from these guys and they’re great quality... but if they don’t survive this then I don’t see them rebuilding their reputation.

I lucked out with these guys massively. Ordered the Frank Graham home top last August. It hadn’t arrived 5/6 months later so claimed a refund through Paypal. Then randomly it arrived in the post one day = free top.

Expecting the same thing might happen with the white away one too. I claimed a refund a couple of weeks ago and have since received the same email as before confirming that it is on it’s way.

They are VERY small. I ordered a L in the home one and have gone XL with the white one... usually sit between a L and a M.

This is what I find most disappointing about my experience with them. They definitely deliver on some orders and the tops that I've seen about look quite good and better than an unbranded score draw one.

Id like to think its a supply/demand issue rather than an outright attempt to defraud. Originally they did small batches of shirts usually sold out by 8pm on day of release. However there's a dishonesty in keeping orders live in various emails full of excuses, and allowing PayPal to foot their bill through not dealing with the complaint when raised. the business model is also based on copyright fraud as umbro and adidas would point out.

My son ordered the same shirt as you and after many, many delays
and a few emails back and forward, it finally arrived from
Thailand last week. It looks good but he is of the opinion that it’s pretty short.

Thanks, maybe mine will appear then at some point, will leave it a few more weeks before going down refund route. You don’t know what order number he was do you? I’m 1323 so would be interested to see if similar order numbers are arriving.

After all this time the top is probably going to be too small for me, especially after putting on a couple of pounds during lockdown 😂

They are very unprofessional about the whole situation... one customer complained on Twitter and they replied with screenshots of his tracking that had his mobile phone number on it!!

On the new platform, Parler, they’ve posted photos of their colleague’s ultrasound and given detailed accounts of what illness she is going through!!

It’s pretty disgusting to be honest!

How is it decent? The majority of orders are already somewhere in the world, with customers waiting with little to no actually detail or communication.... just the word of a company without the best reputation in the last couple years. It’s easy to empathise with frustrated customer (especially as i am one).

My wife ordered one in feb for my march birthday and it hasn't arrived 80-81 yellow away.

I ordered the green insave one in march and it hasn't arrived.

Im willing to give them more time, as ive ordered from them before with no problems.

The only thing id say to stick up for them is:

1. It normally takes 6-8 weeks to get through customs etc going by plane. They have had to send by boat the tops from feb/march which takes longer.

2. Thailand went into full lockdown for months, and unlike here, so did their postal system apparently, so the sent tops would have been sitting for months, then had to go through the usual 6-8 week deliver on top (whenever it re-opened).

Il give it a few more weeks then be on to paypal myself.

They got kicked off twitter, numerous times, due to copywrite claims.

It's a pity as their stuff was excellent, this will kill them after Aztec.

This was the last email they sent, 14/7/20, it's quite long......






Tao, my business partner in Thailand, is in hospital with pain and constant bleeding from a tumour in the cervix. This is was first discovered two years ago. She has been unwell with this, rheumatoid arthritis and other health issues recently and we are extremely concerned about her well-being. She really is not ok and is awaiting further diagnosis.

She is on tablets to help stop the bleeding and once this has stopped will be having a hysterectomy. She is expected to remain in hospital for 7-10 days.On top of everything else this is an incredibly difficult time, and due to these heath issues, and the current volume of emails, we have set up an auto reply.

We aplogise for the inconvenience and hope business and email will be back to normal in around 3 weeks

All orders will arrive as promised: for the latest update see below:

For orders placed during lockdown and shipped before 01 June, tracking will show "no data found" until items arrive in country of destination. It does not mean the tracking number is invalid.

We have given an estimated delivery date of around 3 months from shipping date, ie when we sent you the tracking number for your order, not date ordered. Orders are arriving as you will have seen on our twitter timeline before it was closed down. Again 3 months was an estimate given to us, orders that have arrived seem to be taking slightly longer, so we'd suggest 3-4 months as our estimate.

We understand the frustration. However, we cannot change this situation, there was a worldwide lockdown, we shipped from Thailand, orders are posted and we want them to arrive as much as you do.It's a matter of waiting.

We are struggling to keep business going and situations like this we need our customer support. It just a matter of time until it arrives. We'll only ask you to wait this once, please kindly continue co operate with us.

For orders placed after lockdown and shipped 2nd June onward tracking will take some time to be updated onto the system.There has been a surge of packages with Thai Post since lockdown ended and they are very slow. Please keep trying the link and it will show information once it has passed customs checks.
Thai Post's tracking system is sadly lacking compared to other online tracking systems but it will update.
We ship from Thailand. Delivery is around 2-3 weeks after tracking shows updates.

There was a worldwide pandemic which resulted in lockdown. Planes were not operating. Either we had to stop doing business, or continue business and post with the only option we had, posting via land/ship.

This was an unprecedented set of circumstances and we did not know how long lockdown would last. we decided to continue doing business and let customers know we would send via land/ship, and that it was unknown territory in terms of delivery timescales, but we would keep you updated.

Please do now request refunds for orders as you will receive. If you do this we'll lose the stock, the money, and you will receive a free shirt. We understand this is extremely frustrating but time will tell that we were honest throughout this and it is our carrier who has let us down with delays and misinformation which we have simply relayed to you.

REFUNDS
It's unfortunate that some people have chosen to claim refunds before orders have arrived. Not only that, a small minority have taken to forums and social media to encourage others to claim refunds, and criticise our business. All these customers will receive their orders, we would hope that the customers being critical will apologise or pay.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CLAIMED REFUNDS, WE ARE MONITORING TRACKING FOR DELIVERY OR ORDERS.

ONCE ORDERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED WE EXPECT PAYMENT IN FULL AND WILL BE CONTACTING CUSTOMERS REQUESTING PAYMENT WITHIN 1 WEEK.

SHOULD PAYMENT NOT BE RECEIVED WE WILL BE PUBLISHING A LIST OF NAMES, LOCATIONS, AND MONEY OWED, ON OUR WEBSITE OF CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE CLAIMED REFUNDS, SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED, AND NOT PAID.

This was the last email they sent, 14/7/20, it's quite long......

I mentioned earlier in the thread that they have posted people’s contact information publicly on Twitter, which is out of order in my opinion... I’ve claimed a refund now and fully intend to pay for the shirt if I receive it, but if any of my information is posted anywhere then they will find themselves in bother.

If I were them I would be on to Thai post daily to get updates as to the whereabouts of the orders that are in transit... I was told in May that my order had reached Germany and would be with me very soon... 6 weeks later not a sign of it!! The excuses are wearing thin, I would prefer ‘Dave’ was honest and just said he doesn’t know where the heck the orders are instead of providing false hope!

All this about his business partner is a real shame and my sympathies go out to her, but this should not affect ‘Dave’ from liaising with the couriers you keep his business afloat.

I’ve spent a fortune on shorts from this company and while the trouble due Covid is understandable, their customer service is leaving too much to be desired now, I know I’m not the only one judging by comments on their Twitter, Parler and hashtags on Twitter.... a lot of angry folk.

I deal with international logistics on a daily basis, a lot going to and coming from the Far East. I don’t understand why they’re taking 3 months to deliver a top, even by ship. What they probably do is have a part container on a ship every few months to import the stuff into UK, this will probably be on the back of a business importing larger heavier items. This will save on shipping costs but not by much. These tops are lightweight and would be easier to send via air mail. It seems such a bad business plan to take money off people and make them wait for 3-4 months for delivery. I could do a more accurate estimate with actual weights of items but I’m sure if they gave a £5 extra for airmail option when buying they would have a lot more happy customers.
It’s very unprofessional to send emails like they have. They’re a business and it’s not your customers business why you’re having problem running said business, I have sympathy for the poor person going through what they are but there is no way you should be sending detailed medical emails to customers.
Also they would be breaking UK law to publish people’s data online. Essentially their ‘bad debtors’ aren’t bad debtors, they are customers who have waited 5 months on shirts that we’re supposed to arrive after a few months.
It’s obviously run by people who don’t know what they’re doing apart from producing decent enough retro football tops. Just being able to produce a product doesn’t make a good business.

Ive actually bough a few tops from someone who must work in their factory/shop making these replicas from eBay accounts.... definitely the same folk as the stock photos used the exact same, and these sellers have been a little more reliable.

I do wonder if they started as an eBay shop and perhaps thought they could branch out and cut out the middle man (sellers fees on eBay)?

You are spot on with the unprofessionalism and consumer rights act 2015 states that items should be delivered within 30 days without delay from point of purchase unless expressly agreed with the retailer.

Constant excuses don't constitute agreement with the customer!

Aye it's the women who makes the tops.

According to them all orders are out, they've stopped taking any new ones.

I keep checking the tracking number on both the Thai and Royal Mail sites.

Thai post is slow to update, it should appear on Royal Mail's site as soon as its scanned into the country.

Just seen on the Diamond Retro website that they’re taking a break due to health reasons... I know it’s a very small company but they cannot just shut down while customers are sitting waiting on orders!!Did they not say they are continuing to fulfill orders?

No new orders during the downtime, but it’s more the lack of communication in regard to orders places before lockdown... as many on here will testify to we all ordered in the last few days of February... yes lockdown has caused issues, but I’ve had orders delivered from all over the world in the last few months with little to no delay or interruption... Thai Post are getting the blame by Diamond Retro, but quite frankly the excuses are wearing thin from this Dave character!

That's me mate. I've got all their previously releases until Feb this year. The carry on with delivery last year and now this year (I understand the pandemic impact to a degree) along with aggressive messages on social media, it's time to cut bait.

I sympathise with the situation the Thai woman seems to be in and I hope she gets well.

So, still waiting on an update... I emailed the company to let them know I had requested a refund and would pay if the shirt turned up... a real shame this is happening again. Small company or not , they will not survive with the attitude they’ve shown and the lack of communication and lack of contingency for illness.

90% sure it's the same folk again.

Looking at the WebArchive, AztecRetro described themselves as this on their now defunct website:


Aztec Retro was founded through the love of football shirts from the 70's, 80's & 90's. We specialise in classic shirts from the golden age of football, liaising with fans who wish to own shirts that are otherwise too expensive, or impossible to acquire. Those who are familiar with us know we are the only company that works in this way. We wish to thank you for this support since 2011.We are incredibly proud of our products, showcasing the best retro football shirts in the world, exclusively available from Aztec Retro.

DiamondRetro went with this:


Diamond Retro was founded through the love of football shirts from the 70's, 80's & 90's. We specialise in classic shirts from the golden age of football, liaising with fans who wish to own shirts that are otherwise too expensive, or impossible to acquire

DPRetro say this:



We manufacture and supply football shirts from the best era of football. We specialise in shirts from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, when football had passion, excitement, skill, and the best looking shirts. We go the extra mile to ensure our shirts the best on the market, and they are made to last. We can assure you of high quality products and service.



I would be wary in using them.

That’s nice. What’s the sizing like? May well get the black one they are advertising.

The thread's a bit mixed up because some references are to Retro FC (formerly Terrace FC), another company doing remakes of old kits etc. The black and green track top is here: https://retrofcshirts.bigcartel.com/product/hibernian-tracktop-1987-88 (it's just 'coming soon' at the moment).

Same top just arrived for me. Glad I went up a size, it fits well. The only thing bugging me is the two badges, they have material behind them which I can see through the shirt when I’ve got it on. Not sure if that’s standard for these retro tops from Thailand or not?


I'm thinking of getting one of these! I have this season's home top and it fits well and is XL. Are the diamond retro shirts comparable in size to our current macron ones?

I think SteveHFC has answered the question a couple above. Not Macron sizing but normal sizing.

Cheers for that! How long did it take them to send you your last order? And what was the sizing like, pretty standard or smaller asian like sizes?

This is a sore one - just spent considerably more than this on the same shirt from someone on Twitter for my brother's birthday. :greengrin

That was presumably an original – some of these remakes are decent, but the real thing will always be better.

Wonder if there would be a market for some sort of official back catalogue, I guess the current shirt sponsors wouldn't be too keen I suppose.

They really should get a cut, I’m sure Hibs could kick up a fuss if they wanted, but it’s maybe such a small operation it’s not worth the bother.

I got that prior to the cup final but it has the sloped badge on. Its very good quality, wish I had s waited for that badge version however.

It's something I've always wondered about. Counterfeit football tops are obviously illegal to distribute but what is it that makes something a 'remake' as opposed to counterfeit/fake? Who is it that approves the remake/ reissue? Is it a grey area?

I'd imagine you'd need to seek permission for mass producing tops with Umbro or Calor Gas brand logo on it also. If anyone knows the legalities of how these kind of things I'd be really interested to know

Ignoring the fact that they're Liverpool tops, they are really smart.

I'd love Hibs to come out with something similar.
