Harry 209

I'm just having a laugh, but that shop is actually for the new adidas kit, no Castore merchandise will ever be sold there.

Your right, it's just got that horrible drab no-fun Castore vibe to it. I'm sure the permanent shop will be marvelous.

Doesn't look like we've employed any new marketing people since the old regime. Yes, I know its only temporary but bloody hell!

I think that's unique, Leverkusens 24/25 kit is by Castore.

I would absolutely love something like that one day but can't be bothered with the inevitable outrage from 40+ fans.

7th June

At least we don't have Liverpool's new shirt....have you seen the clip of the neck on that c**t?

Footy Headlines saying this shirt not correct and the stripes down the side will definitley be straight

Bear in mind that the shirts pictured above are 100% fakes, the real thing still hasn't emerged. I still hope there are grey details.

The teaser shows an 'authentic' (pro) kit (only the elite teams get a plastic badge on authentic shirts). If Villa have this status I'm sure we will too.

That's only on the 'authentic' (pro) kits so your paying an extra £30 for that sort of thing.

Back;

Juve home shows a sublimated pattern which wasnt seen in any of the leaks. Maybe ours will have something similar.

If you want a name number and PL badge it takes the price over £100

For comparison - Arsenal new kit went on sale today Short sleeve replica £80 Long sleeve replica £85 Authentic £110 No authentic long sleeve available

Yup. Such a shame the stripes on arm aren't allowed to be continuous any more.

Arsenal get a long-sleeved version of their new kit. I'm hoping we get the same.

Man Utd 3rd shirt is also a banger:

Personally, I would have liked to see the 'fangs' done in silver to reference the 80s away shirts so many of us loved, and the round NUFn badge on the back of the neck to tie into that.

With reference to templates - with adidas and Nike, you will 100% get a template home shirt. However it is possible to put unique design elements into them to produce interesting shirts. The current Man Utd shirt is a good example with the sublimated rose pattern that covers the shirt. Likewise Arsenal with the lightning pattern. Unfortunately, from the leaks we've seen, there are zero unique design elements in the NUFC shirt which is why so many people find it very disappointing.

In my opinion I think its shit because: a) its exactly the same design as several other teams but with our colours. b) the curved bits on the side eating into the black diminishes our iconic black and white stripes. c) the one unique element, the retro badge, which isn't from a successful period of the club, isn't even visible when you wear it. d) it is neither a classic, timeless design (unlike Castores last two efforts) or a bold statement that could become a future classic (like 95/96), its just teamwear with our badges and sponsor stuck on it. e) there's no indication it had the slightest bit of thought or care put into it's creation. Just observations on the leaked images though, I hope I'm proved wrong.

Juventus 3rd shirt is an absolute touch of class.

And Crystal Palace

WE'VE DONE THAT! FACKING! THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE TOLD THEM NOT TO DO!
