TK-421 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Saw a tweet earlier (unknown 'sauce') suggesting that Castore had admitted underestimating demand for the new shirts, and there were delays on orders, with the club demanding talks with them about it. Then just seen this, so its probably true... Edited June 19, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 It's been my position on Castore all along, I actually quite like the gear and the kits (the big-4 was a bit of an issue but a nice kit otherwise) but their manufacturing and logistics are not suitable for a Premier League club. Nowhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonjam88 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I still haven’t heard anything about when I will receive the shirt I bought online 10am on the morning it was released. I had a confirmation email on the day and nothing since. Absolute shambles. Edited June 19, 2023 by Toonjam88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Man. The nostalgic in me would love the return of Adidas but from what I've seen over the years it's looked like they've churned out some utter shite for other clubs since we parted ways? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I’d rather stay with Castore until we’re a bona fide big deal and then get bespoke kits like the big boys Adidas when Keegan was around were desperate to win the deal and remember they did some new stuff that hadn’t been done before with kits which changed the game etc. This was a good article harking back to that time https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-adidas-grandad-kit-18586343.amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Castore quality and ability to provide stock is a well worn road. They had all kinds of trouble with Rangers gear a couple of years ago, outsourcing (as they all do) to people like Fruits of the Loom who wouldn’t remember to take all the Fruits of the Loom labels off. Also read a story where the Rangers club shop were selling black sweaters for £55 a pop where the labels were for school uniform gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’m not up to speed if the fat one is still involved…. It’s weird as castore have managed to win some massive contracts not even just in football. I was surprised to see they have partnered with Reis, which I’m told is a high end brand - or at least their prices are to me! maybe Rodneycisse‘s avatar is the sales negotiator for castore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 not really worried whether its castore, nike or adidas making the kits. we just need to negotiate a massiver deal with whoever. its peanuts at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Keep the kits nice and simple like our new one and our last one. At bare minimum please just do that. The first castore kit was OK but rarely do I like the overly thick stripes we randomly get like the last puma one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
