Also wasn’t Freddie Fletcher leaving also a big miss for us? I recall him actually being the driving force on the business end Yes, very much so. @Thomson Mousepretty much sums it up. Once John Hall withdrew from things, in retrospect, we were just freewheeling and disaster was simply a matter of time. We were run like a failing family carnival. Just gradual decline with occasional bursts of misplaced effort while the world moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If they do long sleeve shirts it’s a win, regardless, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these were a thing of the past for all clubs but just had a look and Adidas sell Man Utd shirts in long sleeves. Just hope we don't get designs as bad as that Man Utd away kit!

Disco Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Depends on who’s making it albeit they’re not widely available IIRC. Just had a look and they do long sleeve for the new Arsenal, Man United and Italy so you’d hope they will do. It’ll be a visit to Davey Gate’s sports emporium again if they don’t.

Only the elite teams get a long sleeved version. Teams like Ajax and Benfica who are not elite, do not get a long sleeved version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Weird that Rangers get a long-sleeve from Castore last few years too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Random, but interesting - Umbro (when they went all "tailored by Umbro") didn't like how some players wore long sleeves and some wore base layers and the kit would look different between those players....so for Man CIty's away kit they did the below. Where they basically made the long sleeve kit look like the same as the base layer kit. Very odd/unique/cool IDK. For us, I'd like long sleeves but would like for the base layer to not look vastly different from someone wearing long sleeves! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Tailored by umbro kits were absolute top tier mind, I'd have loved them as our manufacturer. Instead we got puma Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhfm Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Has anybody ever had trouble purchasing personalized kits. When the club announced they would be selling the Pro Kits the same as the players wear a couple of weeks ago I ordered the home kit and 3rd kit. I received them last night to find they didn't add the name or numbers of the players. I received the credit for the fees. However that's not point. Sorry for the long text.

Anderson Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Just thought, they'll need to be taking down those Castore logos from the Gallowgate. For those pining for the old lettering on the East Stand, doing it to coincide with the Adidas return seems the ideal opportunity. Someone should get into the club's ear...

ozzie1980 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It's true that a lot of people are misty eyes about adidas. As has been said, a lot of fond memories with the early home kits but towards the end, we just had standard templates with different colours. Quality of material was very good but these kits below could have been for any team: Not really colours you'd associate with NUFC except maybe silver. Very surprised adidas never did a yellow and green. And this one is one of the worst home kits, even ignoring the fact it was an awful season. Adidas don't tend to have full stripes on the back either but yes a huge uplift on Castore and it's exciting to see what they will come up with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair almost all of the Castore kits have been good disigned, even though the quality has been not so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
