TK-421 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just checked the home shirt from this season I got in the sale a few weeks ago, its the same on there. Aye, its annoying, but this is Castore quality control. Does it really merit taking them back (probably having been worn all weekend) for a refund?? Storm in a teacup?

Geordie Boyo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Tried posting a picture of my black away shirt from last season, but it just won’t allow me to for reason. Basically the same issue with the lettering on the crest. Edited June 12, 2023 by Geordie Boyo Photo would not upload Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just seems ridiculous where most of the crest looks fine yet for that bit , some f*cker just can’t do an ‘I’…! I don’t think personally it bothers me as much, but just knowing about it is a bit off-putting and cheap looking particularly considering we’re owned by a Saudi multi-trillionaire.

ponsaelius Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) It's just the top of the N blending into the I isn't it? Plus I don't really agree that the players issue is better quality. It's a stick on badge rather than embroidered directly the the material. Edited June 12, 2023 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) It's poor like, considering how much the tops cost. Makes you wonder how much it costs for Castore to knock up one of these tops and what their profit margin is.

Nucasol Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Could be a good excuse for the club to try and bin Castore off as well. However that shitehawk Ashley won’t have bothered putting quality or production SLAs in the agreement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It's good to have an embroidered badge but it just looks altogether shoddy, regardless of they manufacturing mishap; the letters are wonky and placed oddly within the band. My two shirts from the 90s for comparison (notwithstanding forgivable fade after nearly 30 years of literal constant wear, day and night). I just think folks should expect better for their money but if most "don't care ah just wanted the top," then whatever. Lessens the incentive for improvement, though.

NE27 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'd say castores crest looks absolutely fine minus the alignment and spacing of Newcastle United. Exists on the one I have from last season but I accepted that it's just the N being too close and giving it the look of T. Poor from castore tbf, if they couldn't get the stitching correct and signed off they should've kept the printed version like the pro kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably saw all the complaining about the patch crests on the Puma kits and tried to appease the fans, with a bit more kwality! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant Castore even do those, then just do them on Fan and Pro kits?? Edited June 12, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
