Kanji Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 What do you all expect with a very complex "must be fully embroidered" badge in today's world where profit rules all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'd be plenty moaning that is was "just a patch and why can't we have an embroidered badge" To be fair it's lasted a load better than some of the puma attempts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelrouser Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Same shirt as last year with the stripes reversed. Last year white stripe centered, this year black stripe centered; last year white stripe on top of the shoulders, this year black stripe on top of the shoulders; last year white black white round collar, this year black white black vee collar. FUN88 vs. SELA = wash for me. I was hoping for Arabic writing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Anyone ever had one of the pro shirts? I know the price is insane even for a regular shirt these days but just wondering if there’s any significant difference - bar the stick on crest.

It's made from a different, far more lightweight material. Way more breathable as well. If you've ever bought a dedicated top for exercise they're similar to that.

Tiburon Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I saw quite a number of people wearing the new kit over the weekend from kids to older aged adults and I have to say worn, it looks a bit cheap and nasty and not as nice in the flesh as it appears on the promos. Not that I’ll be buying any mind, but if there are quality issues over stitching etc. the club really needs to take Castore to task over this because fans are paying extremely good money for these kits which are already massively overpriced to start with. That said, I do find it hard to sympathise with anyone kicking off over this when they are happy to queue for ages and spend so much money to buy what is essentially overpriced tat. Surely when you buy a top you’d try it on and check the overall quality etc? Maybe stitched badges need to be a thing of the past full-stop going forward… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 It was really difficult to take time to consider the shirt carefully and even try it on at the weekend like, it was more like 'run in, grab what you can and get to the checkout'. That's part of the reason I didn't buy one. It was a bit of a reality check when I actually got to the shop, because the images looked so class but the actual shirt just looked like a normal top with quality that really should cost a lot less.

Tell me you're a tory without telling me you're a tory. I’m being harsh I know, but yeah. Fans in general will buy any old tat and especially NUFC fans as evidenced by full houses week in week out under Ashley. There should be a level of expectation of decent quality, however, which is on Castore and the club and it looks bad for both. But those same people complaining will be there to buy a kit after next season. I mean one guy queuing to buy this season’s new Castore top while wearing last season’s Castore top basically said their designs were crap, but he was first in line… And no I’m not a Tory, not that being one makes one a bad person or uncaring and especially one for not feeling any real sympathy for people who line up to pay top money for tat. Overall though, my lack of sympathy aside, fans and indeed customers do deserve better and in the commercial world no-one gets the short end of the stick more than your average football fan who get ripped off due to their loyalty and basically treat like crap by all and sundry. Hopefully our own club will be treating fans with much more respect going forward, which they look like they have been doing since the takeover.

If you don’t want to eat into your bespoke fedora budget then that’s on you. No need to scoff at fans wanting to don the colours; some of them were queuing up for their kids too.
