Guess it's hardly unique to Castore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the 'theme' is thinking that, for upwards of £90 for a shirt with all the trimmings, folks might get something that looks better than something you'd find in a basket at a Thai market.

Kid Icarus Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 You haven't got any Castore gear though have you? They're way better quality than the other clubs kits like, it's not even close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the feeling I got when I arrived at the shop at the weekend - the design is nice-looking and it's a decent shirt, but at the end of the day I was still standing in front of quite a poor-quality garment with a high price. I think only American sports gear gets close to the quality you would want, the baseball stuff is superb. But it is more expensive as well.

I honestly don't think that changes the point though; it's a blummin rip-off and (if I'm going to be uber-cynical) exploitative, cos they know folks will pay through the nose for anything with the badge on, properly stitched or otherwise.

They sell cheaper player/kids versions with slap on vinyl names rather than embroidered stuff, but they're still generally north of $100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to disagree about it being a rip off like, because it is. All I'm really saying is that we've got the thinner end of the wedge in the PL. Others are more expensive and imo lower quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) £66 of that shirt cost must be clear profit. Quality is shite. Spelling fucked. Stitching to fuck. Alignment issues. It’s a shitshow Also, there’s no way I’d wear it for my hols at sunderland airport Edited June 12, 2023 by RS 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.
