Whitley mag Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) The Castore deal which by the way is rumoured to be for 6 years, so wouldn’t surprise me if club was looking to haul them over coals for breach of contract etc. This interview was at the outset of deal and confirms though the 5 milllion per year is small, the deal is heavily incentivised. Therefore, the club must be going beserk if they’re not able to meet demand. Interview from Athletic - First, financially, there’s a significant investment going in, which is clearly important,” Beahon says. Without going into “commercially sensitive” specifics, he explains how Castore has paid Newcastle a “significant rights fee”, will provide kit for all levels of the club (male, female and academy), and royalties and bonuses. There is no “minimum guarantee” of a buyback of merchandise for the club, as is commonplace. Instead, Castore is operating both the official store and the website on Newcastle’s behalf. The club is “heavily incentivised” to help increase sales. This is different to the “club-manufacturer model” agreed with Wolves, where China is the plus point for Castore. With Newcastle, it is their domestic and global support base. “The club shop is still a Newcastle store, it just happens to be operated by Castore,” Beahon says, again stating profits will be shared with the club. Newcastle’s revenue share will increase once “certain targets (unit sales) are met”. Edited July 4, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 They shouldn’t be operating the shop either. It should be run properly by the club and full of other products. Anyway, know I’m a broken record on this and they’ll be gone ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Saw the new green top in sports direct today and wasn’t fussed on it. Nice for sure, but not as good as it looked on the promo pics when it was unveiled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the legit top is the one on the left? The castore logo on the inside of the top is quite low down on the shirt on the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broony Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) I want to do the right thing and put money into the club for transfers and FFP shit, although it would only be 5-15% of the shirt price, rather than some random seller on the other side of the world. But the prices and castore’s customer service is making it hard. Edited July 5, 2023 by broony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 The fake actually looks better in my opinion. Brighter white on the edging. Darker yellow on the daft noon sponsor otherwise just looks more less the same….and it’s cheaper …a lot cheeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
