So it might be pot luck what you end with if you order online, but seems daft to be selling shirts instore with and without, though I suppose it gives people choice if they want the sleeve sponsor or not, but I suspect that wasn't intentional, and its that Castor rushed out a load before noon.com were announced. In the club shop today you buy your shirt and then if you want the sleeve sponsor you just go and get it done for free.

You can get it put on in the Castore shop I think so would assume you can do it online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the online photos (green away) they have the sponsor on the sleeve. No option to add the sponsor on, so I presume it will come with the shirt. If not then that's false advertising.

NE27 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Shirts are ok, that collar stitching above is prevalent on mine although nowhere near as bad. The Newcastle United on the stitched crest is pretty bad also, but that seems to be across the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I know not everyone will have this option but going into the club shop where they have thousands of shirts, you’ll be able to pick out one with great stitching and a better badge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I've bought 5/6 things from Castore both from England cricket and NUFC, and the quality is far and away the best I've had for any kit or merchandise. It honesty pissed on Puma, Nike and Umbro etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Yeah, not saying people are lying but I’ve bought several things from Castore for gym and boxing or whatever and the material they use is leagues above Nike and Adidas. Haven’t bought any of their NUFC stuff though so who knows… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a medium 9 times out of 10 and bought last seasons blue top the other week in sports direct in the sale. Didn't even try it on, took it home and squeezed into it. Managed to stretch it out a bit. Tried a medium on yesterday in one of their long sleeve 1/4 zip tops. Looked as if it had been painted on. Got the large in the end. If anyones bothered like.

Tsunami Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Much prefer the stitched crest albeit the u and n on United is almost free of any thread. Still better than the patch things from Puma. Pity I didn’t manage to get a sponsor free one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Shocking handcrafting. Just ordered the third kit from a random DHgate seller now. Might pick up a real kit when I can choose one from the shop next time I'm visiting Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
